  The Well-Covered Dimension of Products of Graphs

  •\tUsed complex analysis to investigate which sequences preserved the reality of zeros when applied to polynomials in the Legendre basis\n•\tClassified Legendre multiplier sequences using Mathematica and techniques ranging from differential operators to examination of discriminants

  Emily Davis

  Kelly Blakeman

  Knot Theory

  •\tInvestigated rational tangles and invariants

  which can be used to differentiate biological and chemical structures\n•\tCreated a Mathematica program recursively modeling a polynomial invariant of rational knots\n•\tUsed patterns in data from Mathematica model to quantify a non-recursive closed-form expression for a polynomial invariant of rational knots\n

  Graph Theory

  •\tDiscovered new methods of shifting independent sets of weights on graphs to determine the well-covered dimension of products of cycles

  paths

  and wheels\n•\tAnalyzed why certain graphs have a variable dimension depending on the field used for the vector space of weights \n
