Improved Tsunami Modeling Via q-Advanced Special Functions
(East Carolina University, 2013)This thesis studies q-advanced functions that are used as forcing terms in the forced wave equation and the Korteweg-de Vries equation in modeling tsunamis. The model improves existing tsunami models and is compared to ... -
Newton Polygons on p-adic Number Fields
(East Carolina University, 2012)This thesis offers a clear introduction to p-adic number fields, and the method of Newton polygons to approximate the size of roots of polynomials in the completion of the algebraic closure of p-adic number fields. Ostrowski's ...
