Exponential estimates for singularly perturbed linear fuctional differential equations

Exponential estimates on the fundamental matrix, uniform on the perturbation parameter, are obtained for singularly perturbed systems of linear retarded functional differential equations, under the assumption that the eigenvalues of a certain coefficient matrix in the system have negative real parts. The exponential rates in the estimates are computable from upper bounds on the real parts of the characteristic values of the system or of associated simpler equations. Differences between differential-difference equations and equations with distributed delays are emphasized.     

Asymptotics of the optimal time in a time-optimal control problem with a small parameter

A time-optimal control problem for a singularly perturbed linear autonomous system is considered. The main difference between this case and the case of systems with fast and slow variables studied earlier is that the eigenvalues of the matrix at the fast variables do not satisfy the standard requirement of negativity of the real part. We obtain and justify a complete power asymptotic expansion in the sense of Erdélyi of the optimal time and optimal control in a small parameter at the derivatives in the equations of the system.

Exchange of Stabilities in Autonomous Systems—II. Vertical Bifurcation

In the theory of singularly perturbed initial-value problems, the principal assumption concerns a certain Jacobian matrix: all its eigenvalues should have negative real parts at each point of the reduced (or degenerate) path. If the reduced path contains a point of bifurcation, this assumption is violated. The simplest kind of bifurcation with exchange of stabilities involves just two smooth curves intersecting at a single point. The analysis of the singular perturbation theory in the case when bifurcation is present depends on whether or not both curves have finite slopes at the point of bifurcation. The case when both slopes are finite was treated in [1]; the case when the bifurcating curve has a vertical tangent is treated in the present paper.

Perturbed Markov Chains with Damping Component

The paper is devoted to studies of regularly and singularly perturbed Markov chains with damping component. In such models, a matrix of transition probabilities is regularised by adding a special damping matrix multiplied by a small damping (perturbation) parameter ε. We perform a detailed perturbation analysis for such Markov chains, particularly, give effective upper bounds for the rate of approximation for stationary distributions of unperturbed Markov chains by stationary distributions of perturbed Markov chains with regularised matrices of transition probabilities, asymptotic expansions for approximating stationary distributions with respect to damping parameter, explicit coupling type upper bounds for the rate of convergence in ergodic theorems for n-step transition probabilities, as well as ergodic theorems in triangular array mode.

     

Asymptotics of the eigenvalues of elliptic systems with fast oscillating coefficients

A singularly perturbed second-order elliptic operator with fast oscillating coefficients is considered in the whole space. Complete asymptotic expansions of the eigenvalues are constructed, which converge to the isolated eigenvalues of the homogenized operator; complete asymptotic expansions for the corresponding eigenfunctions are constructed as well.     

Distributional convergence in planar dynamics and singular perturbations

Motivated by applications to singular perturbations, the paper examines convergence rates of distributions induced by solutions of ordinary differential equations in the plane. The solutions may converge either to a limit cycle or to a heteroclinic cycle. The limit distributions form invariant measures on the limit set. The customary gauges of topological distances may not apply to such cases and do not suit the applications. The paper employs the Prohorov distance between probability measures. It is found that the rate of convergence to a limit cycle and to an equilibrium are different than the rate in the case of heteroclinic cycle; the latter may exhibit two paces, depending on a relation among the eigenvalues of the hyperbolic equilibria. The limit invariant measures are also exhibited. The motivation is stemmed from singularly perturbed systems with non-stationary fast dynamics and averaging. The resulting rates of convergence are displayed for a planar singularly perturbed system, and for a general system of a slow flow coupled with a planar fast dynamics.     

Three-dimensional periodic flows of an inhomogeneous fluid in the case of oscillations of part of an inclined plane

The linearized problem of the generation of flows of a continuously stratified fluid by means of the moving part of a stationary infinite inclined plane is solved, taking account of the effects of diffusion, by the methods of the theory of singular perturbations. The moving part of the plane executes longitudinal periodic oscillations. The results obtained contain components that are regularly perturbed with respect to dissipative factors, that is, internal waves and a family of singularly perturbed components, two of which are due to the action of viscosity and a further one due to the effect of diffusion. The solutions of the problems in two-dimensional and one-dimensional formulations correspond to limit cases and the Stokes solution when buoyancy effects are neglected. The internal wave calculations are in satisfactory agreement with aboratory data.     

Eigenvalues of graded matrices and the condition numbers of a multiple eigenvalue

Summary This paper concerns two closely related topics: the behavior of the eigenvalues of graded matrices and the perturbation of a nondefective multiple eigenvalue. We will show that the eigenvalues of a graded matrix tend to share the graded structure of the matrix and give precise conditions insuring that this tendency is realized. These results are then applied to show that the secants of the canonical angles between the left and right invariant of a multiple eigenvalue tend to characterize its behavior when its matrix is slightly perturbed.This work was supported in part by the Air Force Office of Sponsored Research under Contract AFOSR-87-0188     

Exact slow-fast decomposition of the singularly perturbed matrix differential Riccati equation

In this paper the Hamiltonian matrix formulation of the Riccati equation is used to derive the reduced-order pure-slow and pure-fast matrix differential Riccati equations of singularly perturbed systems. These pure-slow and pure-fast matrix differential Riccati equations are obtained by decoupling the singularly perturbed matrix differential Riccati equation of dimension n₁+n₂ into the pure-slow regular matrix differential Riccati equation of dimension n₁ and the pure-fast stiff matrix differential Riccati equation of dimension n₂. A formula is derived that produces the solution of the original singularly perturbed matrix differential Riccati equation in terms of solutions of the pure-slow and pure-fast reduced-order matrix differential Riccati equations and solutions of two reduced-order initial value problems. In addition to its theoretical importance, the main result of this paper can also be used to implement optimal filtering and control schemes for singularly perturbed linear time-invariant systems independently in pure-slow and pure-fast time scales.

Toward determination of the eigenvalues of problems on description of the rotation of deep-water drill columns

This paper presents a method for computing the complex eigenvalues for a boundary-value problem describing the rotation of deep-water drill columns for drilling at depths of thousands of meters. A solution is sought for a singularly perturbed boundary-value problem in the form of an asymptotic expansion in a small parameter ε for two parts of the of the drill column: a lower compressed length, and the upper length. The method can be used to investigate the stability of drill columns used for deep-water drilling. Translated fromDinamicheskie Sistemy. Vol. 12. pp. 29–36, 1993.     

Finite groups having the same prime graph as the group <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>10</Subscript>

We study solutions to partial differential equations with homogeneous polynomial symbols with respect to a multiplicative one-parameter transformation group such that all eigenvalues of the infinitesimal matrix are positive. The infinitesimal matrix may contain a nilpotent part. In the asymptotic scale of regularly varying functions, we find conditions under which such differential equations have asymptotically homogeneous solutions in the critical case.     

Homoclinic Points for a Singularly Perturbed System of Differential Equations with Delay

We obtain a representation of the integral manifold of a system of singularly perturbed differential-difference equations with periodic right-hand side. We show that, under certain conditions imposed on the right-hand side, the Poincaré map for the perturbed system has a transversal homoclinic point.     

Calculation of eigenvalues of a discrete self-adjoint operator perturbed by a bounded operator

We generalize the method of regularized traces which calculates eigenvalues of a perturbed discrete operator for the case of an arbitrary multiplicity of eigenvalues of the unperturbed operator. We obtain a system of equations, enabling one to calculate eigenvalues of the perturbed operator with large ordinal numbers. As an example, we calculate eigenvalues of a perturbed Laplace operator in a rectangle.     

Singularly Perturbed Population Models with Reducible Migration Matrix: 2. Asymptotic Analysis and Numerical Simulations

The paper is concerned with asymptotic analysis of a singularly perturbed system of McKendrick equations of population with age and geographical structure. It is assumed that the migration between geographical patches occurs on a much faster time scale than the demographic processes and is described by a reducible Kolmogorov matrix. We apply a novel regularizing technique which makes the error estimates easier than that in previous papers and provide a numerical illustration of theoretical results.     

Input-to-state stability and sliding mode control of the nonlinear singularly perturbed systems via trajectory-based small-gain theorem

This paper presents the trajectory-based input-to-state stability (ISS) and input-to-output stability (IOS) small-gain theorem, and the finite-time ISS (FTISS) and finite-time IOS (FTIOS) of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems. The contribution of this paper is threefold. Firstly, a novel idea is proposed to analyze the stability of the nonlinear singularly perturbed system, which is regarded as an interconnected system by using two-time-scale decomposition. Secondly, the trajectory-based approach is applied to establish ISS and IOS small-gain theorem for singularly perturbed systems and the FTISS and FTIOS properties are proposed. Thirdly, a novel sliding mode controller is developed for a class of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems. Finally, the effectiveness of proposed method is illustrated by using a numerical example, a DC motor simulation and a multi-agent singularly perturbed system.     

On the eigenvalues of specially low-rank perturbed matrices

We study the eigenvalues of a matrix A perturbed by a few special low-rank matrices. The perturbation is constructed from certain basis vectors of an invariant subspace of A, such as eigenvectors, Jordan vectors, or Schur vectors. We show that most of the eigenvalues of the low-rank perturbed matrix stayed unchanged from the eigenvalues of A; the perturbation can only change the eigenvalues of A that are related to the invariant subspace. Existing results mostly studied using eigenvectors with full column rank for perturbations, we generalize the results to more general settings. Applications of our results to a few interesting problems including the Google’s second eigenvalue problem are presented.
