Population dynamics is the dominant branch of mathematical biology. The first model for population dynamics was developed by Thomas Malthus. A more complicated model was developed by Pierre François Verhulst and it is called the logistic equation. Our aim in this thesis is to extend the models using piecewise constant arguments and to find the conditions when the models have fixed points, periodic solutions and chaos with investigation of stability of periodic solutions.

The Fine Moduli Space of Representations of Clifford Algebras Coşkun, Emre (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-01-01) Given a fixed binary form f(u,v) of degree d over a field k, the associated Clifford algebra is the k-algebra C(f)=k{u,v}/I, where I is the two-sided ideal generated by elements of the form (alpha u+beta v)(d)-f(alpha,beta) with alpha and beta arbitrary elements in k. All representations of C(f) have dimensions that are multiples of d, and occur in families. In this article, we construct fine moduli spaces U=U(f,r) for the irreducible rd-dimensional representations of C(f) for each r >= 2. Our construction ...
A classification of equivariant principal bundles over nonsingular toric varieties Biswas, Indranil; Dey, Arijit; Poddar, Mainak (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2016-12-01) We classify holomorphic as well as algebraic torus equivariant principal G-bundles over a nonsingular toric variety X, where G is a complex linear algebraic group. It is shown that any such bundle over an affine, nonsingular toric variety admits a trivialization in equivariant sense. We also obtain some splitting results.
Application of the boundary element method to parabolic type equations Bozkaya, Nuray; Tezer-Sezgin, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2010) In this thesis, the two-dimensional initial and boundary value problems governed by unsteady partial differential equations are solved by making use of boundary element techniques. The boundary element method (BEM) with time-dependent fundamental solution is presented as an efficient procedure for the solution of diffusion, wave and convection-diffusion equations. It interpenetrates the equations in such a way that the boundary solution is advanced to all time levels, simultaneously. The solution at a requi...
An obstruction to finding algebraic models for smooth manifolds with prescribed algebraic submanifolds CELIKTEN, A; Ozan, Yıldıray (2001-03-01) Let N ⊆ M be a pair of closed smooth manifolds and L an algebraic model for the submanifold N. In this paper, we will give an obstruction to finding an algebraic model X of M so that the submanifold N corresponds in X to an algebraic subvariety isomorphic to L.
Isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic two Kırlar, Barış Bülent; Akyıldız, Ersan; Department of Mathematics (2005) In this thesis, the work of Menezes on the isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic two is studied. Basic definitions and some facts of the elliptic curves required in this context are reviewed and group structure of elliptic curves are constructed. A fairly detailed investigation is made for the isomorphism classes of elliptic curves due to Menezes and Schoof. This work plays an important role in Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm. In this context, those isomorphi...
