  • Markov Chains, Random Walks, and Card Shuffling 

    Outlaw, Nolan (East Carolina University, 2016)
    A common question in the study of random processes pertains to card shuffling. Whether or not a deck of cards is random can have huge implications on any game being played with those particular cards. This thesis explores ...

  • Mathematical Aspects of Image Processing 

    Kirk, Samantha (East Carolina University, 2014)
    In this thesis, image processing is explored from a mathematical point of view. After defining a digitized image, techniques for adjusting resolution are discussed. Image transformations defined on a neighborhood centered ...

  • The Spectral Theorem for Self-Adjoint Operators 

    Chilcoat, Kenneth (East Carolina University, 2016-04-25)
    The Spectral Theorem for Self-Adjoint Operators allows one to define what it means to evaluate a function on the operator for a large class of functions defined on the spectrum of the operator. This is done by developing ...
