A strategy for choosing Gegenbauer reconstruction parameters for numerical stability

The Gegenbauer reconstruction method was first proposed in 1992, but in early studies no attempts were made to optimize the relevant parameters of this method. These parameters were allowed to grow proportionally with the number of nodes which, in many cases, resulted in exponential convergence for a selected range of the proportionality constants. Early studies also made clear that very large error bounds could be expected if these key parameters were not chosen carefully. Subsequent studies then pointed out that, although unrelated to the method’s analytically predictable domains of poor accuracy, round-off errors could also sabotage the method’s accuracy. The challenge of successfully implementing a Gegenbauer reconstruction then rests on understanding the performance trade-offs we can expect when choosing the key parameters in accordance with different objectives.In this study, we propose a new strategy for choosing optimal parameters in the Chebyshev-Gegenbauer reconstruction method, specifically to achieve numerical stability. This strategy is based on asymptotic analysis as well as minimization problems in one and two dimensions. The effectiveness of our approach, which could also be applied to a wider selection of polynomials is then illustrated with results from numerical experiments.     

Orthogonal polynomials for exponential weights on

Let I=[0,d), where d is finite or infinite. Let , where and Q is continuous and increasing on I, with limit ∞ at d. We study the orthonormal polynomials associated with the weight , obtaining bounds on the orthonormal polynomials, zeros, and Christoffel functions. In addition, we obtain restricted range inequalities.     

Stability analysis of cyclic switched nonlinear systems via event-triggered method

In this paper, the exponential stability problem is addressed for a class of cyclic switched nonlinear systems with unstable modes. A novel event-triggered cyclic switching scheme (ETCSS) is proposed to generate a cyclic switching signal that exponentially stabilizes the considered system for any given initial configuration. Some easily verifiable stability criteria for switched nonlinear and linear systems are established, and the effects of event parameters on the convergence rate are also analyzed. Different from the existing studies, here the developed switching scheme is not only cyclic but also event-triggered and thereby the switching frequency is relatively low. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the efficiency of the method.     

Lyapunov and Sacker–Sell Spectral Intervals

In this work, we show that for linear upper triangular systems of differential equations, we can use the diagonal entries to obtain the Sacker and Sell, or Exponential Dichotomy, and also –under some restrictions– the Lyapunov spectral intervals. Since any bounded and continuous coefficient matrix function can be smoothly transformed to an upper triangular matrix function, our results imply that these spectral intervals may be found from scalar homogeneous problems. In line with our previous work [Dieci and Van Vleck (2003), SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 40, 516–542], we emphasize the role of integral separation. Relationships between different spectra are shown, and examples are used to illustrate the results and define types of coefficient matrix functions that lead to continuous Sacker–Sell spectrum and/or continuous Lyapunov spectrum.      

Bound state solutions of D‐dimensional schrödinger equation with exponential‐type potentials

In this article, using an exactly‐solvable multiparameter exponential‐type potential we propose a unified treatment of the analytical bound—state solutions of the Schrödinger equation for exponential‐type potentials in D‐dimensions. Our proposal accepts different approximations to the centrifugal term; however, its usefulness is exemplified in the frame of the Green and Aldrich approach. This fact enables us to compare our results with specific potentials found in the literature and that are obtained here as particular cases of our proposal. That is, instead of solving a specific exponential‐type potential, by resorting each time to a specialized method, the energy spectra and wavefunctions are derived straightforward from the proposed approach. Furthermore, our proposal can be used as an alternative way in the search of solutions to new exponential‐type potentials besides that one can study different approximations to the term . © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Stability of perturbed switched nonlinear systems with delays

This paper addresses the stability problems of perturbed switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delays. It is assumed that the nominal switched nonlinear system (perturbation-free system) is uniformly exponentially stable and that the perturbations satisfy a linear growth bound condition. It is revealed that there exists an upper bound of perturbation guaranteeing that the perturbed system preserves the stability property of the nominal system, locally or globally, depending on both perturbations and the nominal system itself. An example is provided to illustrate the proposed theoretical results.     

Coupling and exponential ergodicity for stochastic differential equations driven by Lévy processes

We present a novel idea for a coupling of solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by Lévy noise, inspired by some results from the optimal transportation theory. Then we use this coupling to obtain exponential contractivity of the semigroups associated with these solutions with respect to an appropriately chosen Kantorovich distance. As a corollary, we obtain exponential convergence rates in the total variation and standard $L^1$-Wasserstein distances.
