    Customer Satisfaction’s Index Identification in E-learning Courses Case Study in a Virtual University

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rastegar, Hossein (Author) ; Eissaei, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    E-learning is a broad set of methodologies and software’s, based on information technology, which provides learning opportunities for people of different backgrounds regardless of their location and time. E-learning has not only recently experienced a major uptake in business and academia, but has also proven itself as a necessity for most learners in different fields. This said, it is needless to mention that it has also encountered some difficulties and setbacks along its way to educational dominance. User satisfaction or customer satisfaction is one of the major means by which one can evaluate the success of such programs. Organizations on the other hand are incorporating behavioral... 

    Kolyvagin’s Theorem

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Hamidi, Mohammad Masih (Author) ; Rastegar, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Kolyvagin’s theorem, stated in the late 1980s, is a very important theorem in the theory of elliptic curves, which, together with Gross-Zagier’s work, results in a special case of the Birch and Swinerton-Dyer conjecture, which relates algebraic and analytic properties of the rational elliptic curves to each other. Although the correctness of this conjecture, in general, is an open problem, Kolyvagin’s idea and the concepts he introduced while proving his theorem are very powerful and can be applied to more general situations. The purpose of writing this dissertation is to collect the equivalent forms of Kolyvagin’s theorem with proofs of the main results. We will also give a brief overview... 

    Optimization in Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)in Servicing Customers, by Considering the Customer's Physical Location is not Fixed

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rastegar Moghaddam, Hanieh (Author) ; Akbari Jokar, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Due to the expansion and development of traffic routes, expecting customers to stay at a place for a long time would rise dissatisfaction and so on in this present study we are going to consider classical vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pick-up and delivery. Vehicles are allowed to have multiple trips and to improve customer’s flexibility and improving service level, different potential locations for each customer are considered. This type of problems in the literature are called vehicle routing problem with roaming deliveries and we expand it with some strong assumption to make the problem more real.In the proposed model there is an objective function that minimizes both variable...

    Various Versions of the Sato-Tate Conjecture

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shavali , Alireza (Author) ; Rastegar, Arash (Supervisor) ; Gholamzadeh Mahmoudi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The Sato-Tate conjecture is an important conjecture regarding the distribution of the Frobenius traces of a family of elliptic curves over finite fields obtained from the reductions of an elliptic curve without CM over a number field modulo the prime ideals of its ring of integers. The statement is that the sequence of normalized Frobenius traces should follow a semicircle distribution. It was discovered by Mikio Sato and reformulated by John Tate in terms of L-functions around 1960. A complete proof of the conjecture for elliptic curves over totally real fields was published in 2008 by R. Taylor et al. under some mild technical assumptions. In addition to the original Sato-Tate conjecture,...

    , Article Iranian Journal of Mathematical Sciences and Informatics ; Volume 6, Issue 2 , 2011 , Pages 33-41 ; 17354463 (ISSN) Rastegar, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    2011
    Abstract
    This paper is devoted to deformation theory of "anabelian" representations of the absolute Galois group landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group of a hyperbolic smooth curve defined over a number-field. In the first part of this paper, we obtained several universal deformations for Lie-algebra versions of the above representation using the Schlessinger criteria for functors on Artin local rings. In the second part, we use a version of Schlessinger criteria for functors on the Artinian category of nilpotent Lie algebras which is formulated by Pridham, and explore arithmetic applications  

    Deformation of outer representations of Galois group

    2011
    Abstract
    To a hyperbolic smooth curve defined over a number-field one naturally associates "ananabelian" representation of the absolute Galois group of the base field landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group. In this paper, we introduce several deformation problems for Lie-algebra versions of the above representation and show that, this way we get a richer structure than those coming from deformations of "abelian" Galois representations induced by the Tate module of associated Jacobian variety. We develop an arithmetic deformation theory of graded Lie algebras with finite dimensional graded components to serve our purpose

    Abstract
    By Grothendieck’s anabelian conjectures, Galois representations landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group which are associated to hyperbolic smooth curves defined over number-fields encode all the arithmetic information of these curves. The Goal of this paper is to develop an arithmetic Teichmuller theory, by which we mean, introducing arithmetic objects summarizing the arithmetic information coming from all curves of the same topological type defined over number-fields. We also introduce Hecke-Teichmuller Lie algebra which plays the role of Hecke algebra in the anabelian framework. © 2019 Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research TMU

    Springer  2020
    Abstract
    Let p be a prime not dividing the integer n. By an Ihara result, we mean existence of a cokernel torsion-free injection from a full lattice in the space of p-old modular forms into a full lattice in the space of all modular forms of level pn. In this paper, we will prove an Ihara result in the number field case, for Siegel modular forms. The case of elliptic modular forms is discussed in Ihara (Discrete subgroups of Lie groups and applications to moduli, Oxford University Press, Bombay, 1975). We will use a geometric formulation for the notion of p-old Siegel modular forms (Rastegar in BIMS 43(7):1–23, 2017). Then, we apply an argument by Pappas, and prove the Ihara result using density of...

    Abstract
    Let p be a prime number and let n be a positive integer prime to p. By an Ihara-result, one means the existence of an injection with torsion-free cokernel, from a full lattice, in the space of p-old modular forms, into a full lattice, in the space of all modular forms of level np. In this paper, Ihara-results are proven for genus two Siegel modular forms, Siegel-Jacobi forms and Hilbert modular forms. Ihara did the genus one case of elliptic modular forms [1]. A geometric formulation is proposed for the notion of p-old Siegel modular forms of genus two, using clarifying comments by R. Schmidt [2] and, then, following suggestions in an earlier paper [3] on how to prove Ihara results. The main... 

    Investigating the impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on power distribution systems

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid ; Volume 4, Issue 3 , 2013 , Pages 1351-1360 ; 19493053 (ISSN) Shafiee, S ; Fotuhi Firuzabad, M ; Rastegar, M
    2013
    Abstract
    Despite the economic and environmental advantages of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the increased utilization of PHEVs brings up new concerns for power distribution system decision makers. Impacts of PHEVs on distribution networks, although have been proven to be noticeable, have not been thoroughly investigated for future years. In this paper, a comprehensive model is proposed to study the PHEV impacts on residential distribution systems. In so doing, PHEV fundamental characteristics, i.e., PHEV battery capacity, PHEV state of charge (SOC), and PHEV energy consumption in daily trips, are accurately modeled. As some of these effective characteristics depend on vehicle owner's... 

    About Space Time

    Abstract
    Einstein's general theory of relativity is an admirable successful and unifier geometrical modeling among concepts of space, time and gravity. This theory along with special theory of relativity made a massive change in our physical view and this, especially in its historical context, has deep and interesting consequences in man's philosophical viewpoint which can be studied. Some parts of this thesis relates to these consequences. Some of these interesting consequences may be hidden by computional or mathematical viewpoint and often these equations do not contain enough intuition. in one part, we provide a formulizatin of Einstein's equaion that is intuitional which can be translated in... 

    Tropical Algebraic Geometry

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Yaghmayi, Keyvan (Author) ; Rastegar, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Tropical algebraic geometry is a fairly new branch in geometry which is called so in honor of Brazilian mathematician Imre Simon who was pioneer of this field.The set equipped with the addition and multiplication is a semifield.Algebraic geometry objects like algebraic varieties can be defined over.Polynomials and rational functions are defined over.The functions that they define are piecewise linear and concave functions and the set of points where they are nonlinear is a tropical variety which is a concave polyhedral. Thus, tropical algebraic geometry is a piecewise linear version of algebraic geometry.Another approach to tropical algebraic geometry comes back to the works of Russian... 

    Deep Learning for Multimodal Data

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rastegar, Sarah (Author) ; Soleymani, Mahdieh (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Recent advances in data recording has lead to different modalities like text, image, audio and video. Images are annotated and audio accompanies video. Because of distinct modality statistical properties, shallow methods have been unsuccessful in finding a shared representation which maintains the most information about different modalities. Recently, deep networks have been used for extracting high-level representations for multimodal data. In previous methods, for each modality, one modality-specific network was learned. Thus, high-level representations for different modalities were extracted. Since these high-level representations have less difference than raw modalities, a shared...

    Abstract
    This paper proposes a novel optimization based home load control (HLC) to manage the operation periods of responsive electrical appliances, determine several recommended operation periods for nonresponsive appliances, and schedule the charge/discharge cycling of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) considering various customer preferences. The customer preferences are in the format of payment cost, interruption cost, and different operational constraints. The projected algorithm is online, in which household appliances are initially scheduled based on the payment cost, and when the home load is interrupted, the scheduling will be updated to minimize customer interruption cost. Due to...
