    • Big Data Algorithms with Limited Local Resources 
      Huang, Qin (2022-07-26)
      In this thesis, we will propose a new (theoretical) computational model to study massive data processing. Our model has limited “local" computing resources (e.g., a normal computer) that characterizes the computational ...
    • Bounds on codes from smooth toric threefolds with rank(pic(x)) = 2 
      Kimball, James Lee (2009-05-15)
      In 1998, J. P. Hansen introduced the construction of an error-correcting code over a finite field Fq from a convex integral polytope in R2. Given a polytope P ⊂ R2, there is an associated toric variety XP , and Hansen used ...
    • Brackets on Hochschild cohomology of Noncommutative Algebras 
      Grimley, Lauren Elizabeth (2016-04-08)
      The Hochschild cohomology of an associative algebra is a Gerstenhaber algebra, having a graded ring structure given by the cup product and a compatible graded Lie algebra structure given by the Gerstenhaber bracket. The ...
    • Characteristics of cooperative spontaneous radiation with applications to atom microscopy and coherent XUV radiation generation 
      Chang, Juntao (2009-05-15)
      Cooperative effect in the radiation process has been studied in for more than half a century. It is important in the sense of both basic physics and applied science. In this work, we study the dynamics of the cooperative ...
