We compute genus-0 Belyi maps with prescribed monodromy and strictly verify the computed results. Among the computed examples are almost simple primitive groups that satisfy the rational rigidity criterion yielding polynomials with prescribed Galois groups over Q(t). We also give an explicit version of a theorem of Magaard, which lists all sporadic groups occurring as composition factors of monodromy groups of rational functions.
In this paper, we prove an asymptotic formula for the sum of the values of the periodic zeta-function at the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function (up to some height) which are symmetrical on the real line and the critical line. This is an extension of the previous results due to Garunkštis, Kalpokas, and, more recently, Sowa. Whereas Sowa's approach was assuming the yet unproved Riemann hypothesis, our result holds unconditionally.
Functions of bounded variation are most important in many fields of mathematics. This thesis investigates spaces of functions of bounded variation with one variable of various types, compares them to other classical function spaces and reveals natural “habitats” of BV-functions. New and almost comprehensive results concerning mapping properties like surjectivity and injectivity, several kinds of continuity and compactness of both linear and nonlinear operators between such spaces are given. A new theory about different types of convergence of sequences of such operators is presented in full detail and applied to a new proof for the continuity of the composition operator in the classical BV-space. The abstract results serve as ingredients to solve Hammerstein and Volterra integral equations using fixed point theory. Many criteria guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of solutions in BV-type spaces are given and later applied to solve boundary and initial value problems in a nonclassical setting.
A big emphasis is put on a clear and detailed discussion. Many pictures and synoptic tables help to visualize and summarize the most important ideas. Over 160 examples and counterexamples illustrate the many abstract results and how delicate some of them are.
The present thesis deals with optimisation problems with sparsity terms, either in the constraints which lead to cardinality-constrained problems or in the objective function which in turn lead to sparse optimisation problems. One of the primary aims of this work is to extend the so-called sequential optimality conditions to these two classes of problems. In recent years sequential optimality conditions have become increasingly popular in the realm of standard nonlinear programming. In contrast to the more well-known Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition, they are genuine optimality conditions in the sense that every local minimiser satisfies these conditions without any further assumption. Lately they have also been extended to mathematical programmes with complementarity constraints. At around the same time it was also shown that optimisation problems with sparsity terms can be reformulated into problems which possess similar structures to mathematical programmes with complementarity constraints. These recent developments have become the impetus of the present work. But rather than working with the aforementioned reformulations which involve an artifical variable we shall first directly look at the problems themselves and derive sequential optimality conditions which are independent of any artificial variable. Afterwards we shall derive the weakest constraint qualifications associated with these conditions which relate them to the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker-type conditions. Another equally important aim of this work is to then consider the practicability of the derived sequential optimality conditions. The previously mentioned reformulations open up the possibilities to adapt methods which have been proven successful to handle mathematical programmes with complementarity constraints. We will show that the safeguarded augmented Lagrangian method and some regularisation methods may generate a point satisfying the derived conditions.
We consider the Bathnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) model, an approximation of the Boltzmann equation, describing the time evolution of a single momoatomic rarefied gas and satisfying the same two main properties (conservation properties and entropy inequality). However, in practical applications, one often has to deal with two additional physical issues. First, a gas often does not consist of only one species, but it consists of a mixture of different species. Second, the particles can store energy not only in translational degrees of freedom but also in internal degrees of freedom such as rotations or vibrations (polyatomic molecules). Therefore, here, we will present recent BGK models for gas mixtures for mono- and polyatomic particles and the existing mathematical theory for these models.
We investigate the convergence of the proximal gradient method applied to control problems with non-smooth and non-convex control cost. Here, we focus on control cost functionals that promote sparsity, which includes functionals of L\(^{p}\)-type for p\in [0,1). We prove stationarity properties of weak limit points of the method. These properties are weaker than those provided by Pontryagin’s maximum principle and weaker than L-stationarity.
In the present thesis we investigate algebraic and arithmetic properties of graph spectra. In particular, we study the algebraic degree of a graph, that is the dimension of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of the associated adjacency matrix over the rationals, and examine the question whether there is a relation between the algebraic degree of a graph and its structural properties. This generalizes the yet open question ``Which graphs have integral spectra?'' stated by Harary and Schwenk in 1974.
We provide an overview of graph products since they are useful to study graph spectra and, in particular, to construct families of integral graphs. Moreover, we present a relation between the diameter, the maximum vertex degree and the algebraic degree of a graph, and construct a potential family of graphs of maximum algebraic degree.
Furthermore, we determine precisely the algebraic degree of circulant graphs and find new criteria for isospectrality of circulant graphs. Moreover, we solve the inverse Galois problem for circulant graphs showing that every finite abelian extension of the rationals is the splitting field of some circulant graph. Those results generalize a theorem of So who characterized all integral circulant graphs. For our proofs we exploit the theory of Schur rings which was already used in order to solve the isomorphism problem for circulant graphs.
Besides that, we study spectra of zero-divisor graphs over finite commutative rings.
Given a ring \(R\), the zero-divisor graph over \(R\) is defined as the graph with vertex set being the set of non-zero zero-divisors of \(R\) where two vertices \(x,y\) are adjacent if and only if \(xy=0\). We investigate relations between the eigenvalues of a zero-divisor graph, its structural properties and the algebraic properties of the respective ring.
We investigate eigenvalues of the zero-divisor graph Γ(R) of finite commutative rings R and study the interplay between these eigenvalues, the ring-theoretic properties of R and the graph-theoretic properties of Γ(R). The graph Γ(R) is defined as the graph with vertex set consisting of all nonzero zero-divisors of R and adjacent vertices x, y whenever xy=0. We provide formulas for the nullity of Γ(R), i.e., the multiplicity of the eigenvalue 0 of Γ(R). Moreover, we precisely determine the spectra of \(\Gamma ({\mathbb {Z}}_p \times {\mathbb {Z}}_p \times {\mathbb {Z}}_p)\) and \(\Gamma ({\mathbb {Z}}_p \times {\mathbb {Z}}_p \times {\mathbb {Z}}_p \times {\mathbb {Z}}_p)\) for a prime number p. We introduce a graph product ×Γ with the property that Γ(R)≅Γ(R\(_1\))×Γ⋯×ΓΓ(R\(_r\)) whenever R≅R\(_1\)×⋯×R\(_r\). With this product, we find relations between the number of vertices of the zero-divisor graph Γ(R), the compressed zero-divisor graph, the structure of the ring R and the eigenvalues of Γ(R).
This thesis aims at providing efficient and side-channel protected implementations of isogeny-based primitives, and at their application in threshold protocols. It is based on a sequence of academic papers.
Chapter 3 reviews the original variable-time implementation of CSIDH and introduces several optimizations, e.g. a significant improvement of isogeny computations by using both Montgomery and Edwards curves. In total, our improvements yield a speedup of 25% compared to the original implementation.
Chapter 4 presents the first practical constant-time implementation of CSIDH. We describe how variable-time implementations of CSIDH leak information on private keys, and describe ways to mitigate this. Further, we present several techniques to speed up the implementation. In total, our constant-time implementation achieves a rather small slowdown by a factor of 3.03.
Chapter 5 reviews practical fault injection attacks on CSIDH and presents countermeasures. We evaluate different attack models theoretically and practically, using low-budget equipment. Moreover, we present countermeasures that mitigate the proposed fault injection attacks, only leading to a small performance overhead of 7%.
Chapter 6 initiates the study of threshold schemes based on the Hard Homogeneous Spaces (HHS) framework of Couveignes. Using the HHS equivalent of Shamir’s secret sharing in the exponents, we adapt isogeny based schemes to the threshold setting. In particular, we present threshold versions of the CSIDH public key encryption and the CSI-FiSh signature scheme.
Chapter 7 gives a sieving algorithm for finding pairs of consecutive smooth numbers that utilizes solutions to the Prouhet-Tarry-Escott (PTE) problem. Recent compact isogeny-based protocols, namely B-SIDH and SQISign, both require large primes that lie between two smooth integers. Finding such a prime can be seen as a special case of finding twin smooth integers under the additional stipulation that their sum is a prime.
A reformulation of cardinality-constrained optimization problems into continuous nonlinear optimization problems with an orthogonality-type constraint has gained some popularity during the last few years. Due to the special structure of the constraints, the reformulation violates many standard assumptions and therefore is often solved using specialized algorithms. In contrast to this, we investigate the viability of using a standard safeguarded multiplier penalty method without any problem-tailored modifications to solve the reformulated problem. We prove global convergence towards an (essentially strongly) stationary point under a suitable problem-tailored quasinormality constraint qualification. Numerical experiments illustrating the performance of the method in comparison to regularization-based approaches are provided.
