During my initial days here in Frankfurt, in October 2020 amidst the pandemic crisis, all my notes revolved around three articles by Bolthausen and Kistler, which now form the starting point of this work.
The ones introduced by Bolthausen and Kistler are abstract mean field spin glass models, reminiscent of Derrida’s Generalized Random Energy Model (GREM), which generalize the GREM while remaining rigorously solvable through large deviations methods and within a classical Boltzmann-Gibbs formalism. This allows to establish, by means of a second moment method, the associated free energy at the thermodynamic limit as an orthodox, infinite-dimensional, Boltzmann-Gibbs variational principle.
Dual Parisi formulas for the limiting free energy associated with these Hamiltonians hold, and are revealed to be the finite-dimensional (”collapsed”) versions of the classical, infinite-dimensional Boltzmann-Gibbs principles.
In the 2nd chapter of this thesis, we uncover the hidden yet essential connection between real-world spin glasses, like the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model and the random energy models. The crucial missing element is that of TAP-free energies: integrating it with the framework introduced by Bolthausen and Kistler results in a correction to the Parisi formula for the free energy, which brings it much, much closer to the ”true” Parisi solution for the SK-model. In other words, we can identify the principles that transform the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs maximization into the unorthodox (and puzzling) Parisi minimization.
This arguably stands as the primary achievement of this work.
Komplexität und Zufälligkeit
(1978)
In this thesis, the focus is on the actions of primary school children using digital and analogue materials in comparable mathematical situations. To emphasise actions on different materials in the mathematical learning process, a semiotic perspective according to C. S. Peirce (CP 1931-35) on mathematics learning is adopted. This theoretical research perspective highlights the activity itself on diagrams as a mathematical activity and brings actions to the forefront of interest. The actions on comparable digital and analogue diagrams are the basis for the reconstruction of mathematical interpretations of learners in 3rd and 4th grade.
The research questions investigate to what extent possible differences between the reconstructed interpretations of the learners can be attributed to the different materials and what influence the material has on the mathematical relationships that the learners take into account in their actions to manipulate the diagram.
For the reconstruction of the diagram interpretations based on the learners' actions on the material, a semiotic specification of Vogel's (2017) adaptation of Mayring's (2014) context analysis is used. This specification is based on Peirce's triadic theory of signs (Billion, 2023). The reconstructed interpretations of the analogue and digital diagrams are compared in a second step to identify possible differences and similarities.
The results of the qualitative analyses show, among other things, that despite the different actions of the learners on the digital and analogue diagrams, it is possible to reconstruct the same diagram interpretations if the learners establish the same mathematical relationships between the parts of the diagrams in their actions. There are also passages in the analyses where the same diagram interpretations cannot be reconstructed based on the actions on the digital and analogue materials. If the digital material acts as a tool and automatically creates several relationships between the parts of the diagram triggered by an action, then the reconstruction of the learners' diagram interpretations based on the analysis of their actions is partially possible. If the tool automatically establishes relationships, these must then be interpreted by the learners using gestures and phonetic utterances to understand the newly created diagram. Thus, a tool changes how mathematical relationships are expressed, because learners no longer have to interpret the relationships before their actions to manipulate the diagram itself, but afterwards through gestures and phonetic utterances. Regarding diagrammatic reasoning according to Peirce (NEM IV), this means that with analogue material the focus is on the construction and manipulation of diagrams through rule-guided actions, whereas with digital material, which functions as a tool, there is more emphasis on observing the results of the manipulations on the diagram.
At the end of the thesis, a recommendation for teachers on how to design mathematics lessons for primary school children using digital and analogue materials will be derived from the results.
The literature cited in this summary can be found in the references of the presented thesis.
Interactional niche in the development of geometrical and spatial thinking in the familial context
(2016)
In the analysis of mathematics education in early childhood it is necessary to consider the familial context, which has a significant influence on development in early childhood. Many reputable international research studies emphasize that the more children experience mathematical situations in their families, the more different emerging forms of participation occur for the children that enable them to learn mathematics in the early years. In this sense mathematical activities in the familial context are cornerstones of children’s mathematical development, which is also affected by the ethnic, cultural, educational and linguistic features of their families. Germany has a population of approximately 82 million, about 7.2 million of whom are immigrants (Statisches Bundesamt 2009, pp.28-32). Children in immigrant families grow up with multiculturalism and multilingualism, therefore these children are categorized as a risk group in Germany. “Early Steps in Mathematics Learning – Family Study” (erStMaL-FaSt) is the one of the first familial studies in Germany to deal with the impact of familial socialization on mathematics learning. The study enables us to observe children from different ethnic groups with their family members in different mathematical play situations. The family study (erStMaL-FaSt) is empirically performed within the framework of the erStMaL (Early Steps in Mathematics Learning) project, which relates to the investigation of longitudinal mathematical cognitive development in preschool and early primary-school ages from a socio-constructivist perspective. This study uses two selected mathematical domains, Geometry and Measurement, and four play situations within these two mathematical domains.
My PhD study is situated in erStMaL-FaSt. Therefore, in the beginning of this first chapter, I briefly touch upon IDeA Centre and the erStMaL project and then elaborate on erStMaL-FaSt. As parts of my research concepts, I specify two themes of erStMaL-FaSt: family and play. Thereafter I elaborate upon my research interest. The aim of my study is the research and development of theoretical insights in the functioning of familial interactions for the formation of geometrical (spatial) thinking and learning of children of Turkish ethnic background. Therefore, still in Chapter 1, I present some background on the Turkish people who live in Germany and the spatial development of the children.
This study is designed as a longitudinal study and constructed from interactionist and socio-constructivist perspectives. From a socio-constructivist perspective the cognitive development of an individual is constitutively bound to the participation of this individual in a variety of social interactions. In this regard the presence of each family member provides the child with some “learning opportunities” that are embedded in the interactive process of negotiation of meaning about mathematical play. During the interaction of such various mathematical learning situations, there occur different emerging forms of participation and support. For the purpose of analysing the spatial development of a child in interaction processes in play situations with family members, various statuses of participation are constructed and theoretically described in terms of the concept of the “interactional niche in the development of mathematical thinking in the familial context” (NMT-Family) (Acar & Krummheuer, 2011), which is adapted to the special needs of familial interaction processes. The concept of the “interactional niche in the development of mathematical thinking” (NMT) consists of the “learning offerings” provided by a group or society, which are specific to their culture and are categorized as aspects of “allocation”, and of the situationally emerging performance occurring in the process of meaning negotiation, both of which are subsumed under the aspect of the “situation”, and of the individual contribution of the particular child, which constitutes the aspect of “child’s contribution” (Krummheuer 2011a, 2011b, 2012, 2014; Krummheuer & Schütte 2014). Thereby NMT-Family is constructed as a subconcept of NMT, which offers the advantage of closer analyses and comparisons between familial mathematical learning occasions in early childhood and primary school ages.
Within the scope of NMT-Family, a “mathematics learning support system” (MLSS) is an interactional system which may emerge between the child and the family members in the course of the interaction process of concrete situations in play (Krummheuer & Acar Bayraktar, 2011). All these topics are addressed in Chapter 2 as theoretical approaches and in Chapter 3 as the research method of this study. In Chapter 4 the data collection and analysis is clarified in respect of these approaches...
Aus Sicht der Pädagogischen Psychologie ist Lernen ein Prozess, bei dem es zu überdauernden Änderungen im Verhaltenspotenzial als Folge von Erfahrungen kommt. Aus konstruktivistischer Perspektive lässt sich Lernen am besten als eine individuelle Konstruktion von Wissen infolge des Entdeckens, Transformierens und Interpretierens komplexer Informationen durch den Lernenden selbst beschreiben. Erkennt der Lernende den Sinn und übernimmt, erweitert oder verändert ihn für sich selbst, so ist der Grundstein für nachhaltiges Lernen gelegt.
Lernen ist ein sehr individueller Prozess. Schule muss also individuelles Lernen auch im Klassenverband ermöglichen und der Lehrende muss zum Lerncoach werden, da sonst kein individuelles und eigenaktives Lernen möglich ist. Das Unterrichtskonzept des forschend-entdeckenden Lernens bietet genau diese Möglichkeit. Es erlaubt die Erfüllung der drei Grundbedürfnisse eines Menschen nach Kompetenz, Autonomie und sozialer Eingebundenheit und ermöglicht damit Motivation, Leistung und Wohlbefinden (Ryan & Deci, 2004).
Forschend-entdeckendes Lernen im Mathematikunterricht ist schrittweise geprägt von folgenden Merkmalen:
- eine problemorientierte Organisation
- selbstständiges, eigenaktives und eigenverantwortliches Lernen der Schülerinnen und Schüler
- individuelle Lernwege und Lernprozesse
- Entwicklung eigener Fragestellungen und Vorgehensweisen der Lernenden
- eigenes Aufstellen von Hypothesen und Vermutungen; Überprüfung der Vermutungen; Dokumentation, Interpretation und Präsentation der Ergebnisse
- eine fördernde Atmosphäre, in der die Lernenden nach und nach forschende Arbeitstechniken vermitteln bekommen
- kooperative Lernformen und damit Förderung von Team- und Kommunikationsfähigkeit
- Unterrichtsinhalte mit hohem Realitäts- und Sinnbezug, gesellschaftlicher Relevanz, Möglichkeiten der Interdisziplinarität
- Stetige Angebote der Unterstützung
Das entdeckende Lernen kann als Vorstufe des forschenden Lernens gesehen werden, da hier der wissenschaftliche Fokus noch nicht so stark ausgeprägt ist. Um alle Phasen auf dem Weg zu annähernd wissenschaftlichen forschenden Lernens anzusprechen, verwenden wir den Begriff des forschend-entdeckenden Lernens.
Voraussetzung ist, dass die Lehrkräfte das forschende Lernen als aktiven, produktiven und selbstbestimmten Lernprozess selbst zuvor erlebt haben müssen. Unter anderem können die Lehrkräfte Unterrichtsprozesse danach besser planen und währenddessen unterstützen, da sie selbst forschend-entdeckendem Lernen „ausgesetzt“ waren und vergleichbare Prozesse durchlebt haben.
Hiermit wird deutlich, dass forschendes Lernen nicht bedeuten kann, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler auf sich gestellt sind. Die gezielte Unterstützung der Lernenden beim Entdecken und Forschen durch die Lehrkraft ist für einen ertragreichen Lernerfolg unverzichtbar und muss Teil der Vorbereitung und des Prozesses sein.
Internationale Studien zeigen, dass forschend-entdeckende Unterrichtsansätze (inquiry-based learning IBL) im Mathematikunterricht bei geeigneter Umsetzung Lernen verbessern, Lernerfolg und Lernleistung steigern und Freude gegenüber Mathematikunterricht erhöhen können. Die Implementierung dieses Unterrichtsansatzes ist trotz der positiven Ergebnisse nicht alltäglich.
Um neue Unterrichtskonzepte in den Schulalltag zu bringen beziehungsweise um bestehende Unterrichtskonzepte neu in den Schulalltag zu bringen bedarf es Fortbildungen zur Professionalisierung von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern.
Although everyone is familiar with using algorithms on a daily basis, formulating, understanding and analysing them rigorously has been (and will remain) a challenging task for decades. Therefore, one way of making steps towards their understanding is the formulation of models that are portraying reality, but also remain easy to analyse. In this thesis we take a step towards this way by analyzing one particular problem, the so-called group testing problem. R. Dorfman introduced the problem in 1943. We assume a large population and in this population we find a infected group of individuals. Instead of testing everybody individually, we can test group (for instance by mixing blood samples). In this thesis we look for the minimum number of tests needed such that we can say something meaningful about the infection status. Furthermore we assume various versions of this problem to analyze at what point and why this problem is hard, easy or impossible to solve.
The problem of unconstrained or constrained optimization occurs in many branches of mathematics and various fields of application. It is, however, an NP-hard problem in general. In this thesis, we examine an approximation approach based on the class of SAGE exponentials, which are nonnegative exponential sums. We examine this SAGE-cone, its geometry, and generalizations. The thesis consists of three main parts:
1. In the first part, we focus purely on the cone of sums of globally nonnegative exponential sums with at most one negative term, the SAGE-cone. We ex- amine the duality theory, extreme rays of the cone, and provide two efficient optimization approaches over the SAGE-cone and its dual.
2. In the second part, we introduce and study the so-called S-cone, which pro- vides a uniform framework for SAGE exponentials and SONC polynomials. In particular, we focus on second-order representations of the S-cone and its dual using extremality results from the first part.
3. In the third and last part of this thesis, we turn towards examining the con- ditional SAGE-cone. We develop a notion of sublinear circuits leading to new duality results and a partial characterization of extremality. In the case of poly- hedral constraint sets, this examination is simplified and allows us to classify sublinear circuits and extremality for some cases completely. For constraint sets with certain conditions such as sets with symmetries, conic, or polyhedral sets, various optimization and representation results from the unconstrained setting can be applied to the constrained case.
We provide extensions of the dual variational method for the nonlinear Helmholtz equation from Evéquoz and Weth. In particular we prove the existence of dual ground state solutions in the Sobolev critical case, extend the dual method beyond the standard Stein Tomas and Kenig Ruiz Sogge range and generalize the method for sign changing nonlinearities.
