Nonlinear Coherence in Multivariate Research: Invariants and the Reconstruction of Attractors

First, some linear techniques in multivariate time-series analysis in EEG research are reviewed to highlight the problem of estimating the dimensionality of the state space (embedding dimension), the reconstruction of an attractor, and the evaluation of invariant properties of the attractor. The traditional linear techniques included the usual spectral and cospectral measures of power, phase, and coherence to which stepwise discriminant analysis was applied for canonical representation of the attractor. Then, some traditional nonlinear techniques of attractor reconstruction and dimensional analysis which use the time-lagged univariate approach of Ruelle and Takens (Takens, 1981) are reviewed. Next, updates and multivariate generalizations that use singular-value decomposition (Broomhead & King, 1986) are reviewed. Finally, Stewart's (1995, 1996) multivariate generalization of the method of false nearest neighbors (Abarbanel, Brown, Sidorowich, & Tsimring, 1993; Kennel, Brown, & Abarbanel, 1992) is reviewed. These are particularly relevant for evaluating multivariate coherence in research on the complex cooperative dynamical systems found in neuroscience, psychology, and social science when time series of sufficient length are investigated.     

基于支持向量回归机的陀螺漂移预测模型

为了预测某导弹陀螺漂移趋势,以该陀螺漂移角速度时间序列为对象,建立了基于支持向量回归机的预测模型。针对该预测模型的特点,提出了支持向量预选取的模型优化方法。基于ε不敏感损失函数的支持向量回归机具有稀疏性,其结构由支持向量决定。因此从训练样本集中预选出有可能成为支持向量的样本,精简样本规模是提高该类支持向量回归机训练和预测效率的有效方法。针对该类支持向量回归机从分类和回归两个角度分析了支持向量的几何特征,提出了核函数空间免疫聚类的支持向量预选取方法并用于某导弹陀螺漂移预测模型的数据预处理。仿真结果表明优化后的预测模型运算量小、建模速度快,精度高。

On a Discrete Fourier Series Solution to Static Problem for Conical Shells of Circumferentially Varying Thickness

An approach is developed to solve the two-dimensional boundary-value problems of the stress-strain state of conical shells with circumferentially varying thickness. The approach employs discrete Fourier series to separate variables and make the problem one-dimensional. The one-dimensional boundary-value problem is solved by the stable discrete-orthogonalization method. The results obtained are presented as plots and tables __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 9, pp. 26–37, September 2005.     

EXACT ANALYSIS OF WAVE PROPAGATION IN AN INFINITE RECTANGULAR BEAM

The Fourier series method was extended for the exact analysis of wave propagation in an infinite rectangular beam. Initially, by solving the three-dimensional elastodynamic equations a general analytic solution was derived for wave motion within the beam. And then for the beam with stress-free boundaries, the propagation characteristics of elastic waves were presented. This accurate wave propagation model lays a solid foundation of simultaneous control of coupled waves in the beam.     

Structural first failure times under non-Gaussian stochastic behavior

An analytical moment-based method for calculating structural first failure times under non-Gaussian stochastic behavior is proposed.In the method,a power series that constants can be obtained from response moments (skewness,kurtosis,etc.) is used firstly to map a non-Gaussian structural response into a standard Gaussian process,then mean up-crossing rates,mean clump size and the initial passage probability of a critical barrier level by the original structural response are estimated,and finally,the formula for calculating first failure times is established on the assumption that corrected up-crossing rates are independent.An analysis of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom dynamical system excited by a Gaussian model of load not only demonstrates the usage of the proposed method but also shows the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method by comparisons between the present method and other methods such as Monte Carlo simulation and the traditional Ganssian model.     

A Galerkin Approach for Power Spectrum Determination of Nonlinear Oscillators

A numerical method to estimate spectral properties of nonlinear oscillators with random input is presented. The stationary system response is expanded into a trigonometric Fourier series. A set of nonlinear algebraic equations, solved by Newtons method, leads to the determination of the unknown Fourier series coefficients of single samples of the response process. For cubic polynomial nonlinearities, closed-form expressions are used to find the nonlinear terms at each step of the solution scheme. Further, a simple procedure yields an approximation of an arbitrary nonlinearity by a cubic polynomial. Power spectral density estimates for the response process are constructed by averaging the square modulus of the computed Fourier coefficients over various samples or by means of well-established smoothing techniques of spectral analysis. Two applications are presented illustrating the effectiveness of the method as compared to statistical linearization and digital Monte-Carlo simulation.

A linearization technique for multi-species transport problems

We study a one-dimensional multi-species system of dispersive-advective contaminant transport equations coupled by nonlinear biological (kinetic reactions) and physical (adsorption) processes. To deal with the nonlinearities and the coupling, and to avoid additional computational costs, we propose a linearization technique based on first-order Taylor’s series expansions. A stabilized finite element in space, combined with an Euler implicit finite difference discretization in time, is used to approximate the dispersive-advective transport problem. Three computational tests are performed with different boundary conditions, retardation factors and kinetic parameters for a nonlinear reactive multi-species transport model. The proposed methodology is shown to be accurate and decrease computational costs in the numerical implementation of nonlinear reactive transport problems.
