Die Populationen umfassen Individuen, welche sich identisch, zuf{\"a}llig, selbstst{\"a}ndig und unabh{\"a}ngig voneinander fortpflanzen und die jeweils nur eine Generation existieren. Die n-te Generation ergibt sich als zuf{\"a}llige Summe der Individuen der (n-1)-ten Generation. Die Relevanz dieser Prozesse begr{\"u}ndet sich innerhalb der Historie und der inner- und außermathematischen Bedeutung. Die Geschichte der Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson-Prozesse wird anhand der Entwicklung des Konzeptes bis heute dargestellt. Dabei werden die Wissenschaftler:innen verschiedener Disziplinen angef{\"u}hrt, die Erkenntnisse zu dem Themengebiet beigetragen und das Konzept in ihren Fachbereichen angef{\"u}hrt haben. Somit ergibt sich die außermathematische Signifikanz. Des Weiteren erh{\"a}lt man die innermathematische Bedeutsamkeit mittels des Konzeptes der Verzweigungsprozesse, welches auf die Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren ist. Die Verzweigungsprozesse stellen eines der aussagekr{\"a}ftigsten Modelle f{\"u}r die Beschreibung des Populationswachstums dar. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus besteht die derzeitige Wichtigkeit durch die Anwendungsm{\"o}glichkeit der Verzweigungsprozesse und der Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse innerhalb der Epidemiologie. Es werden die Ebola- und die Corona-Pandemie als Anwendungsfelder angef{\"u}hrt. Die Prozesse dienen als Entscheidungsst{\"u}tze f{\"u}r die Politik und erm{\"o}glichen Aussagen {\"u}ber die Auswirkungen von Maßnahmen bez{\"u}glich der Pandemien. Neben den Prozessen werden ebenfalls der bedingte Erwartungswert bez{\"u}glich diskreter Zufallsvariablen, die wahrscheinlichkeitserzeugende Funktion und die zuf{\"a}llige Summe eingef{\"u}hrt. Die Konzepte vereinfachen die Beschreibung der Prozesse und bilden somit die Grundlage der Betrachtungen. Außerdem werden die ben{\"o}tigten und weiterf{\"u}hrenden Eigenschaften der grundlegenden Themengebiete und der Prozesse aufgef{\"u}hrt und bewiesen. Das Kapitel erreicht seinen H{\"o}hepunkt bei dem Beweis des Kritikalit{\"a}tstheorems, wodurch eine Aussage {\"u}ber das Aussterben des Prozesses in verschiedenen F{\"a}llen und somit {\"u}ber die Aussterbewahrscheinlichkeit get{\"a}tigt werden kann. Die F{\"a}lle werden anhand der zu erwartenden Anzahl an Nachkommen eines Individuums unterschieden. Es zeigt sich, dass ein Prozess bei einer zu erwartenden Anzahl kleiner gleich Eins mit Sicherheit ausstirbt und bei einer Anzahl gr{\"o}ßer als Eins, die Population nicht in jedem Fall aussterben muss. Danach werden einzelne Beispiele, wie der linear fractional case, die Population von Fibroblasten (Bindegewebszellen) von M{\"a}usen und die Entstehungsfragestellung der Prozesse, angef{\"u}hrt. Diese werden mithilfe der erlangten Ergebnisse untersucht und einige ausgew{\"a}hlte zuf{\"a}llige Dynamiken werden im nachfolgenden Kapitel simuliert. Die Simulationen erfolgen durch ein in Python erstelltes Programm und werden mithilfe der Inversionsmethode realisiert. Die Simulationen stellen beispielhaft die Entwicklungen in den verschiedenen Kritikalit{\"a}tsf{\"a}llen der Prozesse dar. Zudem werden die H{\"a}ufigkeiten der einzelnen Populationsgr{\"o}ßen in Form von Histogrammen angebracht. Dabei l{\"a}sst sich der Unterschied zwischen den einzelnen F{\"a}llen best{\"a}tigen und es wird die Anwendungsm{\"o}glichkeit der Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse bei komplexeren Problemen deutlich. Histogramme bekr{\"a}ftigen, dass die einzelnen Populationsgr{\"o}ßen nur endlich oft vorkommen. Diese Aussage wurde von Galton aufgeworfen und in der Extinktions-Explosions-Dichotomie verwendet. Die dargestellten Erkenntnisse {\"u}ber das Themengebiet und die Betrachtung des Konzeptes werden mit einer didaktischen Analyse abgeschlossen. Die Untersuchung beinhaltet die Ber{\"u}cksichtigung der Fundamentalen Ideen, der Fundamentalen Ideen der Stochastik und der Leitidee „Daten und Zufall". Dabei ergibt sich, dass in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der gew{\"a}hlten Perspektive die Anwendung der Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse innerhalb der Schule plausibel ist und von Vorteil f{\"u}r die Sch{\"u}ler:innen sein kann. F{\"u}r die Behandlung wird exemplarisch der Rahmenlehrplan f{\"u}r Berlin und Brandenburg analysiert und mit dem Kernlehrplan Nordrhein-Westfalens verglichen. Die Konzeption des Lehrplans aus Berlin und Brandenburg l{\"a}sst nicht den Schluss zu, dass die Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse angewendet werden sollten. Es l{\"a}sst sich feststellen, dass die zugrunde liegende Leitidee nicht vollumf{\"a}nglich mit manchen Fundamentalen Ideen der Stochastik vereinbar ist. Somit w{\"u}rde eine Modifikation hinsichtlich einer st{\"a}rkeren Orientierung des Lehrplans an den Fundamentalen Ideen die Anwendung der Prozesse erm{\"o}glichen. Die Aussage wird durch die Betrachtung und {\"U}bertragung eines nordrhein-westf{\"a}lischen Unterrichtsentwurfes f{\"u}r stochastische Prozesse auf die Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse unterst{\"u}tzt.

TIMSS: {\"u}ber 500000 Sch{\"u}ler getestet. PISA: 180000 Sch{\"u}ler getestet. Ich wollte diese Datenbasis nutzen, um Erkenntnisse f{\"u}r die Gestaltung von Unterricht zu gewinnen. Leider kam ich damit nicht weit. Je tiefer ich mich mit den Tests und den dahinterstehenden Theorien befasste, desto deutlicher sch{\"a}lte sich heraus, dass mit diesen Tests keine neue Erkenntnis generiert werden kann. Fast alle Schlussfolgerungen, die aus den Tests gezogen werden, konnten gar nicht aus den Tests selbst gewonnen werden. Ich konzentrierte mich zunehmend auf die Testaufgaben, weil die Geltung der Aussage eines Tests an der Aufgabe erzeugt wird: In der Aufgabe gerinnt das, was die Tester als „mathematische Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit" konstruieren. Der Sch{\"u}ler wiederum hat nur die Aufgabe vor sich. Es gibt nur „gel{\"o}st" (ein Punkt) und „ungel{\"o}st" (kein Punkt). Damit der Sch{\"u}ler den Punkt bekommt, muss er an der richtigen Stelle ankreuzen, oder er muss etwas hinschrei-ben, wof{\"u}r der Auswerter einen Punkt gibt. In der Dissertation wird untersucht, was die Aufgaben testen, was also alles in das Konstrukt von „mathematischer Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit" einfließt, und ob es das ist, was der Test testen soll. Es stellte sich durchaus erstaunliches heraus: - Oftmals gibt es so viele M{\"o}glichkeiten, zur gew{\"u}nschten L{\"o}sung (die nicht in jedem Fall die richtige L{\"o}sung ist) zu gelangen, dass man nicht benennen kann, welche F{\"a}higkeit die Aufgabe eigentlich misst. Das Konstrukt „mathematische Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit" wird damit zu einem zuf{\"a}lligen. - Es werden Komponenten von Testf{\"a}higkeit mitgemessen: Viele Aufgaben enthalten Irritationen, welche von testerfahrenen Sch{\"u}lern leichter {\"u}berwunden werden k{\"o}nnen als von testunerfahrenen. Es gibt Aufgaben, die gel{\"o}st werden k{\"o}nnen, ohne dass man {\"u}ber die F{\"a}higkeit verf{\"u}gt, die getestet werden soll. Umgekehrt gibt es Aufgaben, die man eventuell nicht l{\"o}sen kann, obwohl man {\"u}ber diese F{\"a}higkeit verf{\"u}gt. Als Kernkompetenz von Testf{\"a}higkeit stellt sich heraus, weder das gestellte mathematische Problem noch die angeblichen realen Proble-me ernst zu nehmen, sondern sich statt dessen auf das zu konzentrieren, was die Tester angekreuzt oder hinge-schrieben sehen wollen. Prinzipiell erweist es sich als g{\"u}nstig, mittelm{\"a}ßig zu arbeiten, auf intellektuelle Tiefe in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Aufgaben also zu verzichten. - Man kann bei Multiple-Choice-Tests raten. Die PISA-Gruppe behauptet zwar, dieses Problem technisch {\"u}ber-winden zu k{\"o}nnen, dies erweist sich aber als Fehleinsch{\"a}tzung. - Sowohl bei TIMSS als auch bei PISA stellt sich heraus, dass die vorgeblich verwendeten didaktischen und psychologischen Theorien lediglich theoretische M{\"a}ntel f{\"u}r eine theoriearme Testerstellung sind. Am Beispiel der Theorie der mentalen Situationsmodelle (zur Bearbeitung von realit{\"a}tsnahen Aufgaben) wird dies ausf{\"u}hrlich exemplarisch ausgearbeitet. Das Problem reproduziert sich in anderen Theoriefeldern. Die Tests werden nicht durch Operationalisierungen von Messkonstrukten erstellt, sondern durch systematisches Zusammenst{\"u}ckeln von Aufgaben. - Bei PISA sollte „Mathematical Literacy" getestet werden. Verk{\"u}rzt sollte das die F{\"a}higkeit sein, „die Rolle, die Mathematik in der Welt spielt, zu erkennen und zu verstehen, begr{\"u}ndete mathematische Urteile abzugeben und sich auf eine Weise mit der Mathematik zu befassen, die den Anforderungen des gegenw{\"a}rtigen und k{\"u}nftigen Lebens einer Person als eines konstruktiven, engagierten und reflektierten B{\"u}rgers entspricht" (PISA-Eigendarstellung). Von all dem kann angesichts der Aufgaben keine Rede sein. - Bei der Untersuchung des PISA-Tests dr{\"a}ngte sich ein mathematikdidaktischer Habitus auf, der eine separate Untersuchung erzwang. Ich habe ihn unter dem Stichwort der „Abkehr von der Sache" zusammengefasst. Er ist gepr{\"a}gt von Zerst{\"o}rungen des Mathematischen bei gleichzeitiger {\"U}berbetonung des Fachsprachlichen und durch Verwerfungen des Mathematischen und des Realen bei realit{\"a}tsnahen Aufgaben. Letzteres gr{\"u}ndet in der Nicht-beachtung der Authentizit{\"a}t sowohl des Realen als auch des Mathematischen.

Supermanifolds incorporate bosonic as well as fermionic degrees of freedom. Fermionic fields take values in the odd part of an appropriate Grassmann algebra and are thus showing an anticommutative behaviour. However, a systematic treatment of these Grassmann parameters requires a description of spaces as functors, e.g. from the category of Grassmann algberas into the category of sets (or topological spaces, manifolds). After an introduction to the general ideas of this approach, we use it to give a description of the resulting supermanifolds of fields/maps. We show that each map is uniquely characterized by a family of differential operators of appropriate order. Moreover, we demonstrate that each of this maps is uniquely characterized by its component fields, i.e. by the coefficients in a Taylor expansion w.r.t. the odd coordinates. In general, the component fields are only locally defined. We present a way how to circumvent this limitation. In fact, by enlarging the supermanifold in question, we show that it is possible to work with globally defined components. We eventually use this formalism to study variational problems. More precisely, we study a super version of the geodesic and a generalization of harmonic maps to supermanifolds. Equations of motion are derived from an energy functional and we show how to decompose them into components. Finally, in special cases, we can prove the existence of critical points by reducing the problem to equations from ordinary geometric analysis. After solving these component equations, it is possible to show that their solutions give rise to critical points in the functor spaces of fields.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Alsaedy2016, author = {Alsaedy, Ammar}, title = {Variational primitive of a differential form}, volume = {5}, number = {4}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2193-6943}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-89223}, pages = {8}, year = {2016}, abstract = {In this paper we specify the Dirichlet to Neumann operator related to the Cauchy problem for the gradient operator with data on a part of the boundary.

Since that time, the IEA has conducted many studies in the area of mathematics, such as the First International Mathematics Study (FIMS) in 1964, the Second International Mathematics Study (SIMS) in 1980-1982, and a series of studies beginning with the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) which has been conducted every 4 years since 1995. According to Stigler et al. (1999), in the FIMS and the SIMS, U.S. students achieved low scores in comparison with students in other countries (p. 1). The TIMSS 1995 "Videotape Classroom Study" was therefore a complement to the earlier studies conducted to learn "more about the instructional and cultural processes that are associated with achievement" (Stigler et al., 1999, p. 1). The TIMSS Videotape Classroom Study is known today as the TIMSS Video Study. From the findings of the TIMSS 1995 Video Study, Stigler and Hiebert (1999) likened teaching to "mountain ranges poking above the surface of the water," whereby they implied that we might see the mountaintops, but we do not see the hidden parts underneath these mountain ranges (pp. 73-78). By watching the videotaped lessons from Germany, Japan, and the United States again and again, they discovered that "the systems of teaching within each country look similar from lesson to lesson. At least, there are certain recurring features [or patterns] that typify many of the lessons within a country and distinguish the lessons among countries" (pp. 77-78). They also discovered that "teaching is a cultural activity," so the systems of teaching "must be understood in relation to the cultural beliefs and assumptions that surround them" (pp. 85, 88). From this viewpoint, one of the purposes of this dissertation was to study some cultural aspects of mathematics teaching and relate the results to mathematics teaching and learning in Vietnam. Another research purpose was to carry out a video study in Vietnam to find out the characteristics of Vietnamese mathematics teaching and compare these characteristics with those of other countries. In particular, this dissertation carried out the following research tasks: - Studying the characteristics of teaching and learning in different cultures and relating the results to mathematics teaching and learning in Vietnam - Introducing the TIMSS, the TIMSS Video Study and the advantages of using video study in investigating mathematics teaching and learning - Carrying out the video study in Vietnam to identify the image, scripts and patterns, and the lesson signature of eighth-grade mathematics teaching in Vietnam - Comparing some aspects of mathematics teaching in Vietnam and other countries and identifying the similarities and differences across countries - Studying the demands and challenges of innovating mathematics teaching methods in Vietnam - lessons from the video studies Hopefully, this dissertation will be a useful reference material for pre-service teachers at education universities to understand the nature of teaching and develop their teaching career.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Tarkhanov2005, author = {Tarkhanov, Nikolai Nikolaevich}, title = {Unitary solutions of partial differential equations}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-29852}, year = {2005}, abstract = {We give an explicit construction of a fundamental solution for an arbitrary non-degenerate partial differential equation with smooth coefficients.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{SchulzeQin2005, author = {Schulze, Bert-Wolfgang and Qin, Yuming}, title = {Uniform compact attractors for a nonlinear non-autonomous equation of viscoelasticity}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-29892}, year = {2005}, abstract = {In this paper we establish the regularity, exponential stability of global (weak) solutions and existence of uniform compact attractors of semiprocesses, which are generated by the global solutions, of a two-parameter family of operators for the nonlinear 1-d non-autonomous viscoelasticity.

At the core of data assimilation are filtering, prediction, and smoothing procedures. Filtering entails incorporation of measurements' information into the model to gain more insight into a given state governed by a noisy state space model. Most natural laws are governed by time-continuous nonlinear models. For the most part, the knowledge available about a model is incomplete; and hence uncertainties are approximated by means of probabilities. Time-continuous filtering, therefore, holds promise for wider usefulness, for it offers a means of combining noisy measurements with imperfect model to provide more insight on a given state. The solution to time-continuous nonlinear Gaussian filtering problem is provided for by the Kushner-Stratonovich equation. Unfortunately, the Kushner-Stratonovich equation lacks a closed-form solution. Moreover, the numerical approximations based on Taylor expansion above third order are fraught with computational complications. For this reason, numerical methods based on Monte Carlo methods have been resorted to. Chief among these methods are sequential Monte-Carlo methods (or particle filters), for they allow for online assimilation of data. Particle filters are not without challenges: they suffer from particle degeneracy, sample impoverishment, and computational costs arising from resampling. The goal of this thesis is to:— i) Review the derivation of Kushner-Stratonovich equation from first principles and its extant numerical approximation methods, ii) Study the feedback particle filters as a way of avoiding resampling in particle filters, iii) Study joint state and parameter estimation in time-continuous settings, iv) Apply the notions studied to linear hyperbolic stochastic differential equations. The interconnection between It{\^o} integrals and stochastic partial differential equations and those of Stratonovich is introduced in anticipation of feedback particle filters. With these ideas and motivated by the variants of ensemble Kalman-Bucy filters founded on the structure of the innovation process, a feedback particle filter with randomly perturbed innovation is proposed. Moreover, feedback particle filters based on coupling of prediction and analysis measures are proposed. They register a better performance than the bootstrap particle filter at lower ensemble sizes. We study joint state and parameter estimation, both by means of extended state spaces and by use of dual filters. Feedback particle filters seem to perform well in both cases. Finally, we apply joint state and parameter estimation in the advection and wave equation, whose velocity is spatially varying. Two methods are employed: Metropolis Hastings with filter likelihood and a dual filter comprising of Kalman-Bucy filter and ensemble Kalman-Bucy filter.

More promising is the formulation of these equations in the language of differential forms of degree one. In this way the study of Navier-Stokes equations includes the analysis of the de Rham complex. In particular, the Hodge theory for the de Rham complex enables one to eliminate the pressure from the equations. The Navier-Stokes equations constitute a parabolic system with a nonlinear term which makes sense only for one-forms. A simpler model of dynamics of incompressible viscous fluid is given by Burgers' equation. This work is aimed at the study of invariant structure of the Navier-Stokes equations which is closely related to the algebraic structure of the de Rham complex at step 1. To this end we introduce Navier-Stokes equations related to any elliptic quasicomplex of first order differential operators. These equations are quite similar to the classical Navier-Stokes equations including generalised velocity and pressure vectors. Elimination of the pressure from the generalised Navier-Stokes equations gives a good motivation for the study of the Neumann problem after Spencer for elliptic quasicomplexes.

The first part is devoted to an algebraic formulation of the locality principle in physics and generalisations of classification theorems such as Milnor-Moore and Poincar{\´e}-Birkhoff-Witt theorems to the locality framework. The locality principle roughly says that events that take place far apart in spacetime do not infuence each other. The algebraic formulation of this principle discussed here is useful when analysing singularities which arise from events located far apart in space, in order to renormalise them while keeping a memory of the fact that they do not influence each other. We start by endowing a vector space with a symmetric relation, named the locality relation, which keeps track of elements that are "locally independent". The pair of a vector space together with such relation is called a pre-locality vector space. This concept is extended to tensor products allowing only tensors made of locally independent elements. We extend this concept to the locality tensor algebra, and locality symmetric algebra of a pre-locality vector space and prove the universal properties of each of such structures. We also introduce the pre-locality Lie algebras, together with their associated locality universal enveloping algebras and prove their universal property. We later upgrade all such structures and results from the pre-locality to the locality context, requiring the locality relation to be compatible with the linear structure of the vector space. This allows us to define locality coalgebras, locality bialgebras, and locality Hopf algebras. Finally, all the previous results are used to prove the locality version of the Milnor-Moore and the Poincar{\´e}-Birkhoff-Witt theorems. It is worth noticing that the proofs presented, not only generalise the results in the usual (non-locality) setup, but also often use less tools than their counterparts in their non-locality counterparts. The second part is devoted to study the polar structure of the Shintani zeta functions. Such functions, which generalise the Riemman zeta function, multiple zeta functions, Mordell-Tornheim zeta functions, among others, are parametrised by matrices with real non-negative arguments. It is known that Shintani zeta functions extend to meromorphic functions with poles on afine hyperplanes. We refine this result in showing that the poles lie on hyperplanes parallel to the facets of certain convex polyhedra associated to the defining matrix for the Shintani zeta function. Explicitly, the latter are the Newton polytopes of the polynomials induced by the columns of the underlying matrix. We then prove that the coeficients of the equation which describes the hyperplanes in the canonical basis are either zero or one, similar to the poles arising when renormalising generic Feynman amplitudes.
