A fuzzy clustering based technique for piecewise affine approximation of a class of nonlinear systems

In recent years piecewise affine (PWA) modeling has developed as an attractive tool for the approximation of various complex nonlinear systems. In spite of the wide application of PWA modeling, the optimal approximation of a continuous time nonlinear system with scalar functions by the minimum number of affine systems has not been addressed properly in literature. This paper deals with a fuzzy clustering based approach for the optimal PWA approximation of a class of continuous time nonlinear systems. The technique is based on the trade-off between increasing the approximation accuracy of the various nonlinear functions and simplifying the approximation by the minimum number of subsystems. As an application, the technique is utilized to obtain a PWA approximation of the glucose regulation system. Numerical simulations depicted that, for a given number of subsystems, the derived glucose regulation model provides an optimal approximation of the original nonlinear system. The model also provided some biological insight about the interactions involved in glucose regulation.     

A tensor product matrix approximation problem in quantum physics

We consider a matrix approximation problem arising in the study of entanglement in quantum physics. This notion represents a certain type of correlations between subsystems in a composite quantum system. The states of a system are described by a density matrix, which is a positive semidefinite matrix with trace one. The goal is to approximate such a given density matrix by a so-called separable density matrix, and the distance between these matrices gives information about the degree of entanglement in the system. Separability here is expressed in terms of tensor products. We discuss this approximation problem for a composite system with two subsystems and show that it can be written as a convex optimization problem with special structure. We investigate related convex sets, and suggest an algorithm for this approximation problem which exploits the tensor product structure in certain subproblems. Finally some computational results and experiences are presented.     

A regularization of a reaction–diffusion system approximation to the two-phase Stefan problem

Reaction–diffusion system approximations to the classical two-phase Stefan problem are considered in the present study. A reaction–diffusion system approximation to the Stefan problem has been proposed by Hilhorst et al. from an ecological point of view, and they have given convergence results for the system. In the present study, a new reaction–diffusion system approximation to the Stefan problem is proposed based on regularization of the enthalpy–temperature constitutive relation. For a deeper understanding of the approximation mechanism by means of reaction–diffusion systems, the rates of convergence for both the solutions and the free boundaries are investigated.     

MONOTONE APPROXIMATION TO A SYSTEM WITHOUT MONOTONE NONLINEARITY

1. IntroductionDue to the development of various studies in electromagnetism, biology and someother fields, nonlinear systems hajve been paid extellsive attention both analytically andnumerically, e.g., see [1--12]. As we kll')w, a reasonable numerical method should notonly have the approximation error of higher order, but also preserve the main feature ofthe original problem. In this case? the numerical results might fit the physical processbetter. Since the usual approximations simulate the …     

A polling model with an autonomous server

This paper considers polling systems with an autonomous server that remains at a queue for an exponential amount of time before moving to a next queue incurring a generally distributed switch-over time. The server remains at a queue until the exponential visit time expires, also when the queue becomes empty. If the queue is not empty when the visit time expires, service is preempted upon server departure, and repeated when the server returns to the queue. The paper first presents a necessary and sufficient condition for stability, and subsequently analyzes the joint queue-length distribution via an embedded Markov chain approach. As the autonomous exponential visit times may seem to result in a system that closely resembles a system of independent queues, we explicitly investigate the approximation of our system via a system of independent vacation queues. This approximation is accurate for short visit times only.

A high‐order finite difference method for 1D nonhomogeneous heat equations

In this article a sixth‐order approximation method (in both temporal and spatial variables) for solving nonhomogeneous heat equations is proposed. We first develop a sixth‐order finite difference approximation scheme for a two‐point boundary value problem, and then heat equation is approximated by a system of ODEs defined on spatial grid points. The ODE system is discretized to a Sylvester matrix equation via boundary value method. The obtained algebraic system is solved by a modified Bartels‐Stewart method. The proposed approach is unconditionally stable. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of our approximation method along with comparisons with those generated by the standard second‐order Crank‐Nicolson scheme as well as Sun‐Zhang's recent fourth‐order method. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A limit problem in natural convection

We discuss a model limit problem which arises as a first step in the mathematical justification of our Boussinesq-type approximation [4], which takes into account dissipative heating in natural convection. We treat a simplified highly non linear system depending on a (perturbation) parameter ε. The main difficulty is that for ε ≠ 0 the velocity is not solenoidal. First we prove that our system has weak solutions for each fixed ε. Moreover, while the chosen perturbation parameter ε tends to zero we show, that we arrive at the usual incompressible case and the standard Boussinesq approximation.     

A self-consistent field method applied to the dynamics of viscous suspensions

A method for the approximate solution of the problem of many bodies of spherical form in a viscous fluid is developed in the Stokes approximation. Using a purely hydrodynamic approach, based on the use of the concept of a self-consistent field, the classical boundary value problem is reduced to a formal procedure for solving a linear system of algebraic equations in the tensor coefficients, which occur in the solution obtained for the velocity field and pressure of the liquid. A procedure for the approximate solution of this system of equations is constructed for the case of dilute suspensions, when the ratio of the size of the dispersed particles to the characteristic distance between them is a small parameter. Finally, the initial boundary value problem is reduced to solving a recurrent system of equations, in which each subsequent approximation for all the required quantities depends solely on the previous approximations. The system of recurrent equations obtained can be solved analytically in any specified approximation with respect to a small parameter. It is shown that this system of equations contains in itself all possible physical formulations of the problems, and, within the frameworks of the mathematical procedure constructed, they are distinguished solely by a set of specified and required functions. The practical possibilities of the method are in no way limited by the number of dispersed particles in the fluid.     

A dual method for discrete Chebychev curve fitting

This paper presents a special purpose dual algorithm for obtaining a Chebychev approximation to an overdetermined system of linear equations. The method is founded on the principles of linear programming and is designed to take advantage of the problem's special structure. It is shown that, while maintaining a reduced basis, certain iterations of the standard dual algorithm may be combined into one. Two computer code implementations of the method are discussed and a computational comparison with another algorithm for Chebychev approximation is given.
