Zhang, Mengsen. „The Coordination Dynamics of Multiple Agents“. Thesis, Florida Atlantic University, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10979968.
A fundamental question in Complexity Science is how numerous dynamic processes coordinate with each other on multiple levels of description to form a complex whole—a multiscale coordinative structure (e.g. a community of interacting people, organs, cells, molecules etc.). This dissertation includes a series of empirical, theoretical and methodological studies of rhythmic coordination between multiple agents to uncover dynamic principles underlying multiscale coordinative structures. First, a new experimental paradigm was developed for studying coordination at multiple levels of description in intermediate-sized (N = 8) ensembles of humans. Based on this paradigm, coordination dynamics in 15 ensembles was examined experimentally, where the diversity of subjects’ movement frequency was manipulated to induce different grouping behavior. Phase coordination between subjects was found to be metastable with inphase and antiphase tendencies. Higher frequency diversity led to segregation between frequency groups, reduced intragroup coordination, and dispersion of dyadic phase relations (i.e. relations at different levels of description). Subsequently, a model was developed, successfully capturing these observations. The model reconciles the Kuramoto and the extended Haken-Kelso-Bunz model (for large- and small-scale coordination respectively) by adding the second-order coupling from the latter to the former. The second order coupling is indispensable in capturing experimental observations and connects behavioral complexity (i.e. multistability) of coordinative structures across scales. Both the experimental and theoretical studies revealed multiagent metastable coordination as a powerful mechanism for generating complex spatiotemporal patterns. Coexistence of multiple phase relations gives rise to many topologically distinct metastable patterns with different degrees of complexity. Finally, a new data-analytic tool was developed to quantify complex metastable patterns based on their topological features. The recurrence of topological features revealed important structures and transitions in high-dimensional dynamic patterns that eluded its non-topological counterparts. Taken together, the work has paved the way for a deeper understanding of multiscale coordinative structures.

This dissertation contains the results obtained from a study of two subjects in mathematical general relativity. The first part of this dissertation is about the existence of Killing symmetries in spacetimes containing a compact Cauchy horizon. We prove the existence of a nontrivial Killing symmetry in a large class of analytic cosmological spacetimes with a compact Cauchy horizon for any spacetime dimension. In doing so, we also remove the restrictive analyticity condition and obtain a generalization to the smooth case. The second part of the dissertation presents our results on the global stability problem for a class of cosmological models. We investigate the power law inflating cosmological models in the presence of electromagnetic fields. A stability result for such cosmological spacetimes is proved. This dissertation includes unpublished co-authored material.

Diatezua, Jacquie Kiangebeni. „Some theoretical aspects of fibre suspension flows“. Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1999. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9707.
This thesis is concerned with properties of equations governing fibre suspensions. Of particular interest is the extent to which solutions, and their properties, depend on the type of closure used. For this purpose two closure rules are investigated: the linear and the quadratic closures. We show that the equations are consistent with the second law of thermodynamics, or dissipation inequality, when the quadratic closure is used. When the linear closure is used, a sufficient condition for consistency is that the particle number Np satisfies Np ≤ 35/2. Likewise, flows are found to be monotonically stable for the quadratic closure, and for the linear closure with Np ≤ 35/2. The second part of the thesis is concerned with one-dimensional problems, and their solution by finite element. The hyperbolic nature of the evolution equation for the orientation tensor necessitates a modification of the standard Galerkin-based approach. We investigate the conditions under which convergence is obtained, for unidirectional flows, with the use of the Streamline Upwind (SU) method, and the Streamline upwind Petrov/Galerkin (SUPG) method.
Eve, Robin Andrew. „Theoretical and numerical aspects of problems in finite-strain plasticity“. Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 1992. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17335.
A new internal variable theory of plasticity is presented. This theory is developed within a framework of non-smooth convex analysis; a unification of ideas concerning the postulates of plasticity is achieved by using the powerful tools provided by results in this branch of mathematics. A firm mathematical foundation for the study of qualitative aspects of problems involving plastic deformations is provided. Among the features of the theory is the establishment of a clear relationship between conventional formulations, which make use of yield functions, and those formulated in terms of a dissipation function. The role of the principle of maximum plastic work is also made precise. Attention is focussed on application of the theory to finite-strain plasticity. Quasi-static initial-boundary-value problems involving large plastic deformations are considered. An incremental form of such problems arises from a discretisation in time. A variational form of the incremental boundary-value problem is derived using the new theory. This incremental formulation is based on a generalised midpoint rule, evolution equations for plastic variables are defined in terms of a dissipation function, and an assumption of isochoric plastic deformation is imposed explicitly. A spatially discrete form of the incremental problem is obtained by application of the finite element method. An algorithm for solving this discrete problem, based on the Newton-Raphson procedure and having the typical predictor-corrector structure used in computational plasticity, is proposed and investigated. This algorithm is implemented in NOSTRUM, the in-house finite element code of The FRD/UCT Centre for Research in Computational and Applied Mechanics, at the University of Cape Town. A number of standard example problems are analysed using this code and results are compared with those obtained by others. It is shown that a corrector algorithm based on use of a dissipation function is a viable alternative to the conventional return mapping algorithms. While this alternative approach is not necessarily better than the conventional one for simple models of plasticity, it may prove valuable when considering more complex models for materials which exhibit dissipative behaviour. The manner in which an assumption of isochoric plastic deformation is incorporated into the incremental form of the problem is shown to play an important role.

GRAY, SCOTT THOMAS. A Distributed ParameterLiver Model of Benzene Transport and Metabolism in Humans and Mice -Developmental, Theoretical, and Numerical Considerations. (Under thedirection of Hien T. Tran.)
In the Clean Air Act of 1970, the U. S. Congress names benzene ahazardous air pollutant and directs certain government agencies toregulate public exposure. Court battles over subsequent regulations haveled to the need for quantitative risk assessment techniques. Models forhuman exposure to various chemicals exist, but most current modelsassume the liver is well-mixed. This assumption does not recognize (mostsignificantly) the spatial distribution of enzymes involved in benzenemetabolism.
The development of a distributed parameter liver model that accountsfor benzene transport and metabolism is presented. The mathematicalmodel consists of a parabolic system of nonlinear partial differentialequations and enables the modeling of convection, diffusion, andreaction within the liver. Unlike the commonly used well-mixed model,this distributed parameter model has the capacity to accommodate spatialvariations in enzyme distribution.
The system of partial differential equations is formulated in a weak orvariational setting that provides natural means for the mathematical andnumerical analysis. In particular, general well-posedness results ofBanks and Musante for a class of abstract nonlinear parabolic systemsare applied to establish well-posedness for the benzene distributedliver model. Banks and Musante also presented theoretical results for ageneral least squares parameter estimation problem. They included aconvergence result for the Galerkin approximation scheme used in ournumerical simulations as a special case.Preliminary investigations on the qualitative behavior of thedistributed liver model have included simulations with orthograde andretrograde bloodflow through mouse liver tissue. Simulation of humanexposure with the partial differential equation and the existingordinary differential equation model are presented and compared.Finally, the dependence of the solution on model parameters is explored.

In this dissertation we study combinatorial Hodge Laplacians on simplicial com-
plexes using tools generalized from spectral graph theory. Specifically, we consider
generalizations of graph Cheeger numbers and graph random walks. The results in
this dissertation can be thought of as the beginnings of a new spectral theory for
simplicial complexes and a new theory of high-dimensional expansion.
We first consider new high-dimensional isoperimetric constants. A new Cheeger-
type inequality is proved, under certain conditions, between an isoperimetric constant
and the smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian in codimension 0. The proof is similar
to the proof of the Cheeger inequality for graphs. Furthermore, a negative result is
proved, using the new Cheeger-type inequality and special examples, showing that
certain Cheeger-type inequalities cannot hold in codimension 1.
Second, we consider new random walks with killing on the set of oriented sim-
plexes of a certain dimension. We show that there is a systematic way of relating
these walks to combinatorial Laplacians such that a certain notion of mixing time
is bounded by a spectral gap and such that distributions that are stationary in a
certain sense relate to the harmonics of the Laplacian. In addition, we consider the
possibility of using these new random walks for semi-supervised learning. An algo-
rithm is devised which generalizes a classic label-propagation algorithm on graphs to
simplicial complexes. This new algorithm applies to a new semi-supervised learning
problem, one in which the underlying structure to be learned is flow-like.

In the last few decades, data analysis techniques have had to expand to handle large sets of data with complicated structure. This includes identifying low dimensional structure in high dimensional data, analyzing shape and image data, and learning from or classifying large corpora of text documents. Common Bayesian and Machine Learning techniques rely on using the unique geometry of these data types, however departing from Euclidean geometry can result in both theoretical and practical complications. Bayesian nonparametric approaches can be particularly challenging in these areas.
This dissertation proposes a novel approach to these challenges by working with convenient embeddings of the manifold valued parameters of interest, commonly making use of an extrinsic distance or measure on the manifold. Carefully selected extrinsic distances are shown to reduce the computational cost and to increase accuracy of inference. The embeddings are also used to yield straight forward derivations for nonparametric techniques. The methods developed are applied to subspace learning in dimension reduction problems, planar shapes, shape constrained regression, and text analysis.

Fractional calculus is the integration and differentiation to an arbitrary or fractional order. The techniques of fractional calculus are not commonly taught in engineering curricula since physical laws are expressed in integer order notation. Dr. Richard Magin (2006) notes how engineers occasionally encounter dynamic systems in which the integer order methods do not properly model the physical characteristics and lead to numerous mathematical operations. In the following study, the application of fractional order calculus to approximate the angular position of the disk oscillating in a Newtonian fluid was experimentally validated. The proposed experimental study was conducted to model the nonlinear response of an oscillating system using fractional order calculus. The integer and fractional order mathematical models solved the differential equation of motion specific to the experiment. The experimental results were compared to the integer order and the fractional order analytical solutions. The fractional order mathematical model in this study approximated the nonlinear response of the designed system by using the Bagley and Torvik fractional derivative. The analytical results of the experiment indicate that either the integer or fractional order methods can be used to approximate the angular position of the disk oscillating in the homogeneous solution. The following research was in collaboration with Dr. Richard Mark French, Dr. Garcia Bravo, and Rajarshi Choudhuri, and the experimental design was derived from the previous experiments conducted in 2018.
