Application of finite difference method adopted in fluid mechanics to sound propagation in ducts

Researches on sound propagation problems in ducts done by the author and other investigators in recent years are briefly discussed in this paper. The finite difference method used in fluid mechanics is used for solving these problems thus presenting an aspect of the development of research work in this field at home and abroad.The project supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

The Kumar-Becker-Lin scheme revisited

The Kumar-Becker-Lin scheme introduces a slowly vanishing cost bias in the parameter estimation part of self-tuning control in order to improve its performance. This paper establishes the a.s. optimality of a variant of this scheme for Markov chains on a countable state space when the action space is compact metric and the parameter space is a compact subset ofR ^m .     

Deterministic equivalent for a continuous-time linear-convex stochastic control problem

We consider a finite-horizon control model with additive input. There are two convex functions which describe the running cost and the terminal cost within the system. The cost of input is proportional to the input and can take both positive and negative values. It is shown that there exists a deterministic control problem whose optimal cost is the same as the one in the stochastic control problem. The optimal policy for the stochastic problem consists of keeping the process as close to the optimal deterministic trajectory as possible.This research is supported by NSERC Grant A4619, MRCO, NSF Grant DMS-86-01510, and AFOSR Grant 87-0278.     

An approach for an algorithmic solution of discrete optimal control problems and their game-theoretical extension

We consider time discrete systems which are described by a system of difference equations. The related discrete optimal control problems are introduced. Additionally, a gametheoretic extension is derived, which leads to general multicriteria decision problems. The characterization of their optimal behavior is studied. Given starting and final states define the decision process; applying dynamic programming techniques suitable optimal solutions can be gained. We generalize that approach to a special gametheoretic decision procedure on networks. We characterize Nash equilibria and present sufficient conditions for their existence. A constructive algorithm is derived. The sufficient conditions are exploited to get the algorithmic solution. Its complexity analysis is presented and at the end we conclude with an extension to the complementary case of Pareto optima.Dmitrii Lozovanu was Supported by BGP CRDF-MRDA MOM2-3049-CS-03.     

On the Existence of Optimal Solutions to an Optimal Control Problem

In this paper, some results concerning the existence of optimal solutions to an optimal control problem are derived. The problem involves a quasilinear hyperbolic differential equation with boundary condition and a nonlinear integral functional of action. The assumption of convexity, under which the main theorem is proved, is not connected directly with the convexity of the functional of action. In the proof, the implicit function theorem for multimappings is used.Communicated by L. D. Berkovitz     

Zero-Sum Differential Games Involving Hybrid Controls

We study a zero-sum differential game with hybrid controls in which both players are allowed to use continuous as well as discrete controls. Discrete controls act on the system at a given set interface. The state of the system is changed discontinuously when the trajectory hits predefined sets, an autonomous jump set A or a controlled jump set C, where one controller can choose to jump or not. At each jump, the trajectory can move to a different Euclidean space. One player uses all the three types of controls, namely, continuous controls, autonomous jumps, and controlled jumps; the other player uses continuous controls and autonomous jumps. We prove the continuity of the associated lower and upper value functions V⁻ and V⁺. Using the dynamic programming principle satisfied by V⁻ and V⁺, we derive lower and upper quasivariational inequalities satisfied in the viscosity sense. We characterize the lower and upper value functions as the unique viscosity solutions of the corresponding quasivariational inequalities. Lastly, we state an Isaacs like condition for the game to have a value This work was partially supported by Grants DRDO 508 and ISRO 050 to the Non-linear Studies Group, Indian Institute of Science.

Successive approximation procedure for steady-state optimal control of bilinear systems

The optimum regulation problem of a bilinear system with a quadratic performance criterion is obtained in terms of a sequence of algebraic Lyapunov equations. The results are based on the method of successive approximations. The proof of convergence of the proposed scheme is given and the design procedure is illustrated by two examples.     

稀土对小麦（Triticum aestivum）体内光合和呼吸速率及磷酸化功能的影响

以适当浓度稀土溶液处理小麦后，其光合和氧化磷酸化的磷氧比（Ｐ／Ｏ）、光合控制（Ｐｃ）、呼吸控制（ＲＣ）、状态３．４光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ３．Ｓ４）与对照样比均无显著性差异。状态２（Ｓ２）光合和呼吸速率提高，差异极显著。说明小麦用最适浓度稀土处理后，对其光合和呼吸的磷酸化机构和功能膜影响不大，但显著促进了光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ２），从而促进了电子传递链的活性，使ＡＴＰ形成量增加。
