In this thesis, two algorithms for protein structural motif recognition are presented. A program is described which successfully recognizes the occurrence of the right-handed parallel 8-helix fold from protein sequence ...

Recently Bruno and Vaynblat introduced a new mathematical model to describe shock induced martensitic phase transitions. This model is much simpler than prior ones -- requiring, essentially, no quantities that cannot be ...

In this thesis, we present three different randomized algorithms that help to solve matrices, compute low rank approximations and perform the Fast Fourier Transform. Matrix probing and its conditioning When a matrix A with ...

This doctoral dissertation is on the theory of Minimal Surfaces and of singularities in Mean Curvature Flow, for smooth submanifolds Y" in an ambient Riemannian (n+ 1)-manifold Nn+1, including: (1) New asymptotically conical ...

We present new techniques for generation of unstructured meshes for geometries specified by implicit functions. An initial mesh is iteratively improved by solving for a force equilibrium in the element edges, and the ...

Let G be a split, semisimple p-adic group. We construct a derived localization functor Loc : ... from the compactified category of [BK2] associated to G to the category of equivariant sheaves on the Bruhat-Tits building ...

Solar activity, as indexed by sunspots, has a cycle of length varying from about 9 to 13 years. Statisticians have fitted several models to predict sunspot numbers one year ahead. We instead focus on predicting the magnitudes ...
