Walter Carlip

My first love was the theory of finite groups. I worked with Prof. George Glauberman at the University of Chicago, where my thesis and early publications concerned regular orbits and the structure of solvable groups. I also worked with Prof. Glauberman on his revision (with Prof. Helmut Bender) of the Feit-Thompson Odd Order Theorem. More recently I have been interested in recursive sequences, working to complete a classification of second-order sequences and their stability. I have also studied pseudoprimes, Lucas d-pseudoprimes, and Carmichael-Lucas numbers. I have several publications on iteration graphs, and have a long-standing interest in computational algorithms both in number theory and algebra.
