We focus on two research projects on Yang-Mills (YM) matrix models with massive deformation terms, where fuzzy four-spheres, as well as fuzzy two-spheres appear as matrix configurations which are of interest. We first concentrate on an SU(N) YM gauge theory in 0+1-dimensions with five Hermitian matrices, a YM 5-matrix model, with a massive deformation term and search for matrix configurations of fuzzy four- spheres, which are formed by taking tensor products of certain irreducible and reducible representations of the isometry group SO(5) of the fuzzy four-spheres, which may be understood as new static configurations satisfying the classical equations of motion of this matrix model. The reducible representation of SO(5) that we employ is formed by following a Schwinger type construction which utilizes four pairs of fermionic annihilation-creation operators and their SO(5) irreducible representation (IRR) content is determined. It is shown that in addition to standard fuzzy four-spheres, the generalized fuzzy four-spheres, SΛ4, that recently appeared in the literature, also emerge as solutions to the YM 5–matrix model. We examine the quantization of the coset space O2 ≡ SU(4)/(SU(2) × U(1) × U(1)) via the coadjoint orbit method to provide a perspective on the structure of SΛ4 and employ the generalized coherent states associated to SO(6) ≈ SU(4) to discuss some aspects of both the basic and generalized fuzzy four-spheres. In the second part of the thesis, we examine a YM matrix model that can be contemplated as a massive deformation of the bosonic part of the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind (BFSS) model. An ansatz configuration involving fuzzy two- and four-spheres with collective time dependence is proposed to arrive at a set of reduced actions whose chaotic dynamics are revealed by calculating their Lyapunov spectrum, Poincaré sections and in particular largest Lyapunov exponents by using numerical solutions to their Hamiltonian equations of motion. We also analyze how the largest Lyapunov exponents change as a function of the energy.

ALGORITHMS FOR EFFICIENT VECTORIZATION OF REPEATED SPARSE POWER-SYSTEM NETWORK COMPUTATIONS AYKANAT, C; OZGU, O; Güven, Ali Nezih (1995-02-01) Standard sparsity-based algorithms used in power system applications need to be restructured for efficient vectorization due to the extremely short vectors processed, Further, intrinsic architectural features of vector computers such as chaining and sectioning should also be exploited for utmost performance, This paper presents novel data storage schemes and vectorization algorithms that resolve the recurrence problem, exploit chaining and minimize the number of indirect element selections in the repeated s...
Further developments in the dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) based direct damping identification method Özgen, Gökhan Osman (2005-01-01) Theoretical development of a dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) based direct damping matrix identification method is revisited in this paper. This method was proposed to identify both the mechanism and spatial distribution of damping in dynamic structures as a matrix of general function of frequency. The objective of this paper, in addition to the review of the theoretical development, is to investigate some major issues regarding the feasibility of this method. The first issue investigated is how the errors in...
Applications of the dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) based direct damping identification method Özgen, Gökhan Osman (2005-01-01) Two potential applications of a dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) based direct damping matrix identification method are presented in this paper. The method was proposed to identify both the mechanism and spatial distribution of damping as a matrix of general function of frequency. First potential application is the analytical-experimental hybrid structural dynamics modeling, in which the model is constructed by combining analytically formulated mass and stiffness matrices with the experimentally identified dam...
Vester's Sensitivity Model for Genetic Networks with Time-Discrete Dynamics Moreno, Liana Amaya; DEFTERLİ, ÖZLEM; Fuegenschuh, Armin; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2014-07-03) We propose a new method to explore the characteristics of genetic networks whose dynamics are described by a linear discrete dynamical model x(t+1) = Ax(t). The gene expression data x(t) is given for various time points and the matrix A of interactions among the genes is unknown. First we formulate and solve a parameter estimation problem by linear programming in order to obtain the entries of the matrix A. We then use ideas from Vester's Sensitivity Model, more precisely, the Impact Matrix, and the determi...
An adaptive, energy-aware and distributed fault-tolerant topology-control algorithm for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks Deniz, Fatih; Bagci, Hakki; KÖRPEOĞLU, İBRAHİM; Yazıcı, Adnan (2016-07-01) This paper introduces an adaptive, energy-aware and distributed fault-tolerant topology control algorithm, namely the Adaptive Disjoint Path Vector (ADPV) algorithm, for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. In this heterogeneous model, we have resource-rich supernodes as well as ordinary sensor nodes that are supposed to be connected to the supernodes. Unlike the static alternative Disjoint Path Vector (DPV) algorithm, the focus of ADPV is to secure supernode connectivity in the presence of node failures...
