Analysis and Simulation of the Three-Component Model of HIV Dynamics

Mathematical modeling of biological systems is crucial to effectively and efficiently developing treatments for medical conditions that plague humanity. Often, systems of ordinary differential equations are a traditional tool used to describe the spread of disease within the body. We consider the dynamics of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in vivo during the initial stage of infection. In particular, we examine the well-known three-component model and prove the existence, uniqueness, and boundedness of solutions. Furthermore, we prove that solutions remain biologically meaningful, i.e., are positivity preserving, and perform a thorough, local stability analysis for the equilibrium states of the system. Finally, we incorporate random coefficients within the model and obtain numerical results to predict the probability of infection given the transmission of the virus to a new individual.

Some remarks about interpolating sequences in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces

In this paper we study two separate problems on interpolation. We first give some new equivalences of Stout's Theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of points to be an interpolating sequence on a finite open Riemann surface. We next turn our attention to the question of interpolation for reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces on the polydisc and provide a collection of equivalent statements about when it is possible to interpolation in the Schur-Agler class of the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space.

A Note on the Norm and Spectrum of a Foguel Operator

We present two ways to compute the norm of a Foguel operator. One of these is algebraic and the other makes use of the Schur complement. This gives a two simpler proof of a result of Garcia. We also provide an extension of these results.

The Toeplitz corona problem for algebras of multipliers on a Nevanlinna-Pick space

Suppose $\fA$ is an algebra of operators on a Hilbert space $H$ and $A_1,..., A_n \in \fA$. If the row operator $[A_1,..., A_n] \in B(H^{(n)},H)$ has a right inverse in $B(H, H^{(n)})$, the Toeplitz corona problem for $\fA$ asks if a right inverse can be found with entries in $\fA$. When $H$ is a complete Nevanlinna-Pick space and $\fA$ is a weakly-closed algebra of multiplication operators on $H$, we show that under a stronger hypothesis, the corona problem for $\fA$ has a solution. When $\fA$ is the full multiplier algebra of $H$, the Toeplitz corona theorems of Arveson, Schubert and Ball-Trent-Vinnikov are obtained. A tangential interpolation result for these algebras is developed in order to solve the Toeplitz corona problem.

Meromorphic Extendibility and Rigidity of Interpolation

Let T be the unit circle, f be an α-Holder continuous function on T, α>1/2, and A be the algebra of continuous function in the closed unit disk \bar D that are holomorphic in D. Then f extends to a meromorphic function in D with at most m poles if and only if the winding number of f+h on T is bigger or equal to -m for any h\in A such that f+h \neq 0 on T.

Representations of logmodular algebras

We study the question of whether or not contractive representations of logmodular algebras are completely contractive. We prove that a 2-contractive representation of a logmodular algebra extends to a positive map on the enveloping C*-algebra, which we show generalizes a result of Foias and Suciu on uniform logmodular algebras. Our proof uses non-commutative operator space generalizations of classical results on 2-summing maps and semispectral measures. We establish some matrix factorization results for uniform logmodular algebras

Duality, Tangential Interpolation, and Toeplitz Corona Problems

In this paper we extend a method of Arveson and McCullough to prove a tangential interpolation theorem for subalgebras of $H^\infty$. This tangential interpolation result implies a Toelitz corona theorem. In particular, it is shown that the set of matrix positivity conditions is indexed by cyclic subspaces, which is analogous to the results obtained for the ball and the polydisk algebra by Trent-Wick and Douglas-Sarkar.

Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation for $C+BH^\infty$

Given an inner function $B$ we classify the invariant subspaces of the algebra $H^\infty_B:=\mathbb{C}+BH^\infty$. We derive a formula in terms of these invariant subspaces for the distance of an element in $L^\infty$ to a certain weak*-closed ideal in $H^\infty_B$ and use this to prove an analogue of the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation theorem.

Abrahamse's interpolation theorem and Fuchsian groups

We generalize Abrahamse's interpolation theorem from the setting of a multiply connected domain to that of a more general Riemann surface. Our main result provides the scalar-valued interpolation theorem for the fixed-point subalgebra of $H^\infty$ associated to the action of a Fuchsian group. We rely on two results from a paper of Forelli. This allows us to prove the interpolation result using duality techniques that parallel Sarason's approach to the interpolation problem for $H^\infty$. In this process we prove a more general distance formula, very much like Nehari's theorem, and obtain relations between the kernel function for the character automorphic Hardy spaces and the Szegö kernel for the disk. Finally, we examine our interpolation results in the context of the two simplest examples of Fuchsian groups acting on the disk.

Some new equivalences of Anderson's paving conjectures

Anderson's paving conjectures are known to be equivalent to the Kadison-Singer problem. We prove some new equivalences of Anderson's conjectures that require the paving of smaller sets of matrices. We prove that if the strictly upper triangular operatorss are pavable, then every 0 diagonal operator is pavable. This result follows from a new paving condition for positive operators. In addition, we prove that if the upper triangular Toeplitz operators are paveable, then all Toeplitz operators are paveable.

A Constrained Nevanlinna-Pick Interpolation Problem

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation on the unit disk with the additional restriction that all analytic interpolating functions satisfy $f'(0)=0.$ Alternatively, these results can be interpreted as interpolation results for $H^{\infty}(V),$ where $V$ is the intersection of the bidisk with an algebraic variety. We use an analysis of C*-envelopes to show that these same conditions do not suffice for matrix interpolation.
