Ph.D. Dissertation Defense: Archana Timsina Title: Identifiability Analysis and Optimal Control of Infectious Diseases Epidemics and Parameterization Method for (Un)Stable Manifolds of Implicitly Defined Dynamical Systems Co-Advisors: Dr. Necibe Tuncer and Dr. Jason Mireles-James
Abstract: This dissertation is a study about applied dynamical systems on two concentrations. Frist, based on the growing association between opioid addiction and HIV infection, a compartmental model is developed to study dynamics and optimal control of two epidemics: opioid addiction and HIV infection. We show that the disease-free-equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number R_0= max (R_0^{u}, R_0^{v})< 1, here R_0^{v} is the reproduction number of the HIV infection, and R_0^{u} is the reproduction number of the opioid addiction. The addiction-only boundary equilibrium exists when R_0^{u} > 1 and it is locally asymptotically stable when the invasion number of the opioid addiction is R_{inv}^{u}< 1. Similarly, HIV-only boundary equilibrium exists when R_0^{v}> 1 and it is locally asymptotically stable when the invasion number of the HIV infection is R_{inv}^{v}< 1. We study structural identifiability of the parameters, estimate parameters employing yearly reported data from Central for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and study practical identifiability of estimated parameters. We observe the basic reproduction number ¬¬¬¬ R_0 using the parameters. Next, we introduce four distinct controls in the model for the sake of control approach, including treatment for addictions, health care education about not sharing syringes, highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), and rehab treatment for opiate addicts who are HIV infected. US population using CDC data, first applying a single control in the model, and observing the results, we better understand the influence of individual control. After completing each of the four applications, we apply them together at the same time in the model and compare the outcomes using different control bounds and state variable weights. We conclude the results by presenting several graphs. Similarly, we fit a SARS-CoV-2 model to US data of COVID-19 cases and deaths. We conclude that the model is not structurally identifiable. We make the model identifiable by prefixing some of the parameters from external information. Practical identifiability of the model through Monte Carlo simulations reveals that two of the parameters may not be practically identifiable. With thus identified parameters, we set up an optimal control problem with social distancing and isolation as control variables. We investigate two scenarios: the controls are applied for the entire duration and the controls are applied only for the period of time. Our results show that if the controls are applied early in the epidemic, the reduction in the infected classes is at least an order of magnitude higher compared to when controls are applied with two-week delay. Further, removing the controls before the pandemic ends leads to rebound of the infected classes. |

Speaker: Theresa Buscemi (in person presentation): Title: Enumeration of Spanning Trees in a Graph by the Matrix Tree Theorem Abstract: In Graph Theory, a graph is called a tree if it is connected, undirected, and acyclic, i.e. any two vertices in the graph are connected by exactly one path. A subgraph H of a connected graph G is called a spanning tree if H is a tree which includes all the vertices of G. Now, let G be a connected graph with vertex set V = {v_1, v_2, ..., v_n} and edge set E = {e_1, e_2, ..., e_m}. After arbitrarily assigning orientations to the edges of G, we can define the incidence matrix M of G, whose (i, j)th entry is equal to 1 if e_j leaves v_i, -1 if e_j enters v_i, and 0 if e_j is not incident with v_i. The Matrix Tree Theorem states that the number of spanning trees of G is given by (the absolute value of) the determinant of any (n-1) x (n-1) submatrix of the augmented adjacency matrix D := MM^T. We provide a proof of the Matrix Tree Theorem and demonstrate how the theorem can be applied to count the number of spanning trees in example graphs.

Prelim Exam: Sulani Thakshila Summary: One of the most promising fields in the security based problems in Cryptography are utilized lattices due to its hardness and efficiency. The digital signature schemes(DSSs) in lattice-based cryptographic primitives are now very practical in compared with traditional cryptosystems like RSA or DSA which are based on factoring problem or discrete logarithm problem. Unlike the NTRUSign and Hash-and-Sign, Fiat-Shamir(FS) transforma-tion in DSSs first build an identification scheme in a certain form and then convert it into a DSS. In particular, identification scheme that has challenge as a polynomial is transformed into a DDS by improving length of the signature and making collisions resistant hash function family. While security in the identification scheme is based on approximate short vector in the standard model and Random Oracle Model(ROM), security of the DDS is depend on the finding collisions in the family of hash functions. The hardness assumptions here are used in ring-SIS(Short Integer Solution) problem and now it has been adapted to ring-LWE(Learning With Erros) which decreases the size of the signature and keys thereby improving the efficiency. I will explain FS-transformation schemes and how it is related to signature schemes. In particular, Abdalla et al. in [1] introduced the idea of lossy identification scheme and give tight reductions in Quantum Random Oracle Model(QROM). The lossy identification scheme comes with an additional lossy key which is the output of the key generation algorithm and computationally indistinguishable from honestly generated ones. The security of the lossy identification scheme is a notion of impersonation of the lossy keys with respect to an adversary has access to lossy public keys and simulated transcript of the model. The NIST submissions TESLA and Dilithium are practical examples of lattice instantiation of [1]. For non-lossy lattice-based identification schemes has underlying signatures in Ducas et al. in [2]. The security of such schemes is non-tight and use the Forking Lemma. For example BLISS signature scheme Ducas et al. in [2] improved the rejection sampling by bimodal Gaussian instead of shifted Gaussian distributions. I will explain the lossy signature scheme and BLISS signature scheme in more detail in the notions of FS- transform in lattices. The module lattices is the most appealing aspects of the lattice-based protocols because of strong security proof based on hardness assumptions in worst case problems. I will explain the importance and advantages of modules lattices. The cyclotomic ring Zq[x]/(xn + 1) where n is a power of two plays a big role in constructing lattice-based protocols and the small polynomials invertibile under special congruence conditions, q ≡ 5 (mod 8). Nguyen in [3] showed how to omit this congruence condition instead analysing zeroes in CRR(Chinese Remainder Representation) of small polynomials. Concretely, without the prime condition, Nguyen in [3] provide a upper bound in terms of probability for the non-existence of a short vector in a random module lattice. I will explain non-existence of prime condition improve the tight security in QROM, however with a less speed.

Speaker: Thomas Benitez (in person) Title: A New Zero-Knowledge Protocol for the Syndrome Decoding Problem and Code-Based Signature Abstract: Zero-knowledge proofs are an important tool for many cryptographic protocols and applications. The threat of a coming quantum computer motivates the research for new zero-knowledge proof techniques for (or based on) post-quantum cryptographic problems. One of the few directions is code-based cryptography for which the strongest problem is the syndrome decoding of random linear codes. In this presentation, we introduce a new zero-knowledge proof for the syndrome decoding problem on random linear codes. This protocol achieves a soundness error of 1/n for an arbitrary n. We provide an optimized version of this zero-knowledge protocol which achieves arbitrary soundness through parallel repetitions and merged cut-and-choose phase. While turning this protocol into a signature scheme, we achieve a signature size of 17 KB for a 128-bit security. This represents a significant improvement over previous constructions based on the syndrome decoding problem for random linear codes. All are cordially invited. |

MS Exam Presentation Speaker: Lariza Ramsammy (in person presentation) Title: Variations on Valuation Domains Abstract: It is common knowledge, in Commutative Algebra, that valuation domains are GCD domains with linearly ordered prime ideals. In his 1995 paper in Communications in Algebra, Ayman Badawi gave other characterizations of integral domains with linearly ordered prime ideals, thus providing an alternative proof of this equivalence. In this presentation, we will explore one of these characterizations as well as its implication for local integral domains with related properties, including pseudo-valuation domains and divided domains. Finally, we will discover how these equivalent characterizations lead to a chain of implications among the properties considered. All are cordially invited.

Power analysis is a type of side channel attack in which the attacker aims to extract the cryptographic keys by studying the power consumption of the device. On the other hand, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric algorithm standardized by NIST in 2001, and it has been deployed mostly everywhere to encrypt the sensitive data because of its strong cryptographic security. In this presentation, we will explain how correlation power analysis works on AES so that an attacker can extract the AES key very easily, and therefore we will point out that the implementation of a cryptographic algorithm is as important as its cryptographic security.

Prelim Exam: This event is open to all graduate faculty. Speaker: David Urizar, Ph.D. Candidate Summary: The proposed preliminary exam would present the fundamentals of rigidity theory. The student will define key terms: Graph realizations, Laman condition, Laman number, infinitesimal motion, and pure condition. Furthermore, he will develop some further theory in the case of 2-dimensional rigidity, considering angle constraints in addition to length constraints for bar-and-joint frameworks. He will explain how algebraic relations of higher degree translate into linear relations on the columns of the rigidity matrix. He will provide combinatorial characterizations for the number of unique realizations of a rigid body modulo its rigid motions. The student will reformulate the problem of determining rigidity in terms of the algebraic geometry of the configuration space, and present numerous examples to illustrate these ideas. The student will be prepared to answer questions relating to structural rigidity and its applications. |

MS Exam (Presentation): Amish Mishra Title: Computation of Persistent Homology Using the Delaunay-Rips Complex: An Efficient Family of Simplicial Complexes for Topological Data Analysis Abstract: Topological Data Analysis is an emerging area rooted in theories from Algebraic Topology, which enables researchers to extract discriminating geometric and topological features from data. We give an overview of some of the popular methods of extracting features from point-cloud data, which first requires one to construct a 1-parameter family of spaces on the data using the geometry of the cloud. We demonstrate their benefits and shortcomings and introduce a new, more efficient construction that we name the Delaunay-Rips Complex. We justify conditions on the data that guarantee stability of our method when computing persistent homology. Aided by intuitive examples, we also provide an empirical run-time comparison of the two existing methods with our new algorithm on the computation of the persistence diagrams of some synthetic data sets.

MS Exam (Presentation): Matthew Trang Title: Modules of Kahler Differentials Abstract: In algebra, the notion of Kahler differentials introduced by Erich Kahler in the 1930s gives us a way to adapt the notion of differential forms to arbitrary commutative rings. It has not only been used in commutative algebra, but also in algebraic geometry where the methods from calculus fail to apply. Besides, the module of Kahler differentials is a powerful tool for studying separable algebras over commutative rings and it is also applied to prove some criteria for regularity of local rings. In this presentation, we will give an introduction to derivations, the module of Kahler differentials, its universal mapping property as well as some of its basic properties. To finish the talk, we will provide a differential criterion for regularity of local rings, which geometrically gives us a way to determine if a variety is nonsingular or singular at some certain point. |

MS Exam Presentation: Yan Zhang Abstract: The statistical arbitrage strategy is widely used in financial investment. Almost all of current statistical arbitrage strategies focus on the price difference (spread) between two similar assets in the same asset class and exploit the mean reversion of spreads, i.e. pairs trading. This study extends the strategy to multiple assets in the multi-asset market and derives a mean-reverting portfolio by optimizing multiple mean-reversion criteria (the method is called PGP). By performing an empirical analysis, this study shows the profitability of the new strategy. Meeting information: Time: Apr 1, 2021 09:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada) |

One of the " Great Theorems " in Algebraic Geometry is Bezout's Theorem, which deals with the intersection of curves in Projective Planes. The Theorem States: Let F and G are two projective plane curves with no "common component " , where the degrees of F and G are m and n respectively. Then the number of points of intersection of F and G is mn. In this presentation, I am going to define the concept of Projective Varieties Intersection Numbers and then to prove Bezout's Theorem.

Therefore, estimating the current and future intensity of these powerful storms is crucial to protect life and property. National Hurricane Center (NHC) is one of the professional tropical storm intensity forecasting center located in Miami, Florida. NHC and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) are responsible for the tracking, monitoring, predicting cyclone formation and evolution around the United States. My study mainly focuses on estimate tropical cyclone intensity using Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) images, which have been capturing high spatial resolution images (1-4km2) of most of the globe every 30 minutes for decades.

In our set up, we prove some well-known results, as the completeness of the space C[a,b] under the d-sup metric, which complemented with fixed-point theorems leads to important conclusions. Then, we explore some fixed-point theorems, one of them Banach’s fixed point theorem, and their implications in Analysis; such as Picard’s existence and uniqueness theorem for a first order initial value problem, as well as second order.

Speaker: Maira Verner will present: Title: Krull’s Principal Ideal Theorem and Systems of Parameters for a Local Ring Abstract: In this presentation we prove Krull’s principal ideal theorem, one of the workhorses of commutative algebra. This theorem can be generalized to ideals that are not principal, and the result is often called Krull's height theorem, which is a cornerstone of the dimension theory of Noetherian rings. It states that any minimal prime ideal of an ideal generated by n elements in a Noetherian ring has height at most n. As corollaries, we obtain the existence of systems of parameters of Noetherian local rings, and the fact that every Noetherian local ring has finite dimension. Along the way, important lemmas are proved, such as Nakayama’s lemma. Meeting information:

M.S. Student Presentation Speaker: Bishal Dhakal Title: Existence of Solutions of Initial Value Problems Abstract: In the beginning of the study of differential equations, the focus is on finding explicit solutions, focusing on solving the underlying physical problems. Then immediately after multiple questions arises, such as – if a starting point for a solution of differential equations is given, does the solution always exist? If it exists, how long does it exist and is there only one such solution? In this presentation, we are going to answer some of the above questions. We are studying this because its importance grew more and more over time then the beginning of the nineteenth century when it was first introduced by Cauchy. It is useful significantly to delay equations, functional differential equations, partial differential equations or stochastic differential equations and finite- and infinite dimensional dynamical systems.

PhD Dissertation Defense Speaker: Sunil Giri Title: Infection Age Structured Vector Borne Disease Model with Direct Transmission Advisor: Dr. Necibe Tuncer Abstract: Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool to study and analyze the disease dynamics prevalent in the community. This thesis studies the dynamics of two time since infection structured vector borne models with the direct transmission. We have included disease induced death rate in the first model to from the second model. The aim of this thesis is to analyze whether these two models have same or different disease dynamics. An explicit expression for the reproduction number denoted by R0 is derived. Dynamical analysis reveals the forward bifurcation in the first model. That is when the threshold value R0 < 1, disease free equilibrium is stable both locally and globally implying disease dies out from the population. When R0 > 1 existence of unique endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable. For the second model, analysis of the existence and stability of equilibria reveals the existence of backward bifurcation i.e. where the disease-free equilibrium coexists with the endemic equilibrium when the reproduction number R02 is less than unity. This aspect shows that in order to control vector borne disease, it is not sufficient to have reproduction number less than unity although necessary. Thus, the infection can persist in the population even if the reproduction number is less than unity. Numerical simulation is presented to see the bifurcation behavior in the model. By taking the reproduction number as the bifurcation parameter, we find the system undergoes backward bifurcation at R02 = 1. Thus, the model has backward bifurcation and have two positive endemic equilibrium when R02 < 1 and unique positive endemic equilibrium whenever R02 > 1. Stability analysis shows that disease free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R02 < 1 and unstable when R02 > 1. When R02 < 1, lower endemic equilibrium in backward bifurcation is locally stable Please contact Dr. Hongwei Long <hlong@fau.edu> for an electronic copy of the dissertation.

Speaker: Amir Alipour Yengejeh Title: Survival Analysis with Cox Proportional Hazard Deep Learning Neural Networks Abstract: Survival models are used to explore and understand the relationship between individuals’ covariates (e.g. clinical and genetic features) and the effectiveness of various treatment options. There are two types of models: 1. Standard survival models: Cox proportional hazards model. 2. Nonlinear survival models: Neural network and survival forest. The main problem of standard models is that they need extensive feature engineering, prior (medical) knowledge, or pre-assumptions to model treatment interaction at individual level, while nonlinear can inherently model these high-level interaction terms. One of the conspicuous nonlinear models is DeepSurv: A Cox proportional hazards deep neural network. In this work, through the results of training DeepSurv on the simulated and real survival data, we will show that the performance of DeepSurv in modeling highly complex relationships between an individual’s covariates and their risk of failure is as well as or better than others. The capabilities of DeepSurv in the prediction and modeling can enable researchers to use deep neural network as a tool in their exploration, understanding, and prediction of the effects of a individuals' characteristics on their risk of failure.

PhD Dissertation Defense
Speaker: Shaun Miller Co-Advisors: Dr. Shi Bai and Dr. Rainer Steinwandt Abstract: An adversary armed with a quantum computer has algorithms at their disposal, which are capable of breaking our current methods of encryption. Even with the birth of post-quantum cryptography, some of the best cryptanalytic algorithms are still quantum. This thesis discusses the cryptanalysis of lattice-based cryptography using classical and quantum algorithms. Several experiments are conducted concerning the efficacy of lattice reduction algorithms, BKZ and LLL. In particular, the difficulty of solving Learning With Errors is assessed by reducing the problem to an instance of the Unique Shortest Vector Problem. The results are used to predict the behavior these algorithms may have on actual cryptographic schemes with security based on hard lattice problems. Lattice reduction algorithms may require several floating-point operations including multiplication. In this thesis, I consider the resource requirements of a quantum circuit designed to simulate floating-point multiplication with high precision.

FAU's Student Chapter of the AWM Care To BEE Event Dr. Nina Fefferman will be joining us live on Webex for a problem-solving session based on topics from a pre-recorded webinar from NIMBioS, "The Role of Applied Math in Real-time Pandemic Response How Basic Disease Models Work" Dr. Nina Fefferman is a mathematical biologist with a long history of work on biosecurity and pandemic preparedness and response. She has consulted in this area for state and federal agencies and departments on threats including TB, Ebola, Zika virus, H1N1 2009, and many others, now including COVID-19. She is a professor in the Departments of Mathematics and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Dr. Fefferman directs the Mathematical Modeling Center at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis. Abstract: It's not normally instantly obvious what mathematicians do. It's also not normal to be able to use middle-school math to help try to save the world. Right now, things are not normal. Join us for "The role of applied math in real-time pandemic response: How basic disease models work" for a presentation about how very simple, middle-school math (and much fancier versions of the same thing) can help us fight COVID-19. Be sure to register online. This conference is open to anyone interested in mathematics at FAU and neighboring institutions! Please sign up so that we can contact you with relevant information. Also, if you would like to provide a mailing address, we will be sending out promotional items (note this is optional).
