Formulation of linear problems and solution by a universal machine

Using the predicate language for ordered fields a class of problems referred to aslinear problems is defined. This class contains, for example, all systems of linear equations and inequalities, all linear programming problems, all integer programming problems with bounded variables, all linear complementarity problems, the testing of whether sets that are defined by linear inequalities are semilattices, all satisfiability problems in sentenial logic, the rank-computation of matrices, the computation of row-reduced echelon forms of matrices, and all quadratic programming problems with bounded variables. A single, one, algorithm, to which we refer as theUniversal Linear Machine, is described. It solves any instance of any linear problem. The Universal Linear Machine runs in two phases. Given a linear problem, in the first phase a Compiler running on a Turing Machine generates alinear algorithm for the problem. Then, given an instance of the linear problem, in the second phase the linear algorithm solves the particular instance of the linear problem. The linear algorithm is finite, deterministic, loopless and executes only the five ordered field operations — additions, multiplications, subtractions, divisions and comparisons. Conversely, we show that for each linear algorithm there is a linear problem which the linear algorithm solves uniquely. Finally, it is shown that with a linear algorithm for a linear problem, one can solve certain parametric instances of the linear problem.Research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DMS 92-07409, by the Department of Energy Grant DE-FG03-87-ER-25028, by the United States—Israel Binational Science Foundation Grant 90-00434 and by ONR Grant N00014-92-J1142.Corresponding author.     

A double-stage piecewise recursive filter for real-time applications

This paper examines the basic problem of estimating the state of a system described by a set of dynamical equations. The state estimation is performed by means of optimal filtering techniques in which the state observation is given by a set of nonlinear equations.The basic issue encountered in most engineering problems is the availability of more observable information than the processor can effectively process in real-time, while performing full optimal filtering on all available observable data. To alleviate this deficiency, an algorithm is developed in which the rate of information processing is kept at a high value, while the system statistics are evaluated at a much slower rate.The method utilizes a combination of fast and slow filtering loops, in which the observable data are processed at a high rate during the fast loop, while the system error covariance, gain computations, and all other system statistics are processed at a lower rate in the slow loop. Methods are provided to resolve any incompatibility in the system statistics resulting from this fast-loop/slow-loop processing combination.Applications describing problems pertaining to aircraft navigation are presented. Specifically, applications to aircraft navigation through a satellite network are studied. Appropriate simulation results from the above studies are shown.This work was performed under contract with the Department of the Air Force, Space and Missile Organization (SAMSO), Los Angeles, California, Contract No. F04-701-75-C-0180.The authors are indebted to Dr. C.

Derivatives of (modified) Fredholm determinants and stability of standing and traveling waves

Continuing a line of investigation initiated in [F. Gesztesy, Y. Latushkin, K.A. Makarov, Evans functions, Jost functions, and Fredholm determinants, Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal. 186 (2007) 361–421] exploring the connections between Jost and Evans functions and (modified) Fredholm determinants of Birman–Schwinger type integral operators, we here examine the stability index, or sign of the first nonvanishing derivative at frequency zero of the characteristic determinant, an object that has found considerable use in the study by Evans function techniques of stability of standing and traveling wave solutions of partial differential equations (PDE) in one dimension. This leads us to the derivation of general perturbation expansions for analytically-varying modified Fredholm determinants of abstract operators. Our main conclusion, similarly in the analysis of the determinant itself, is that the derivative of the characteristic Fredholm determinant may be efficiently computed from first principles for integral operators with semi-separable integral kernels, which include in particular the general one-dimensional case, and for sums thereof, which appears to offer applications in the multi-dimensional case.A second main result is to show that the multi-dimensional characteristic Fredholm determinant is the renormalized limit of a sequence of Evans functions defined in [G.J. Lord, D. Peterhof, B. Sandstede, A. Scheel, Numerical computation of solitary waves in infinite cylindrical domains, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 37 (2000) 1420–1454] on successive Galerkin subspaces, giving a natural extension of the one-dimensional results of [F. Gesztesy, Y. Latushkin, K.A. Makarov, Evans functions, Jost functions, and Fredholm determinants, Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal. 186 (2007) 361–421] and answering a question of [J. Niesen, Evans function calculations for a two-dimensional system, presented talk, SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems, Snowbird, UT, USA, May 2007] whether this sequence might possibly converge (in general, no, but with renormalization, yes). Convergence is useful in practice for numerical error control and acceleration.     

Representation of the solution to a model problem in semiconductor physics

We study a mixed type problem for the Poisson equation arising in the modeling of charge transport in semiconductor devices [V. Romano, 2D simulation of a silicon MESFET with a non-parabolic hydrodynamical model based on the maximum entropy principle, J. Comput. Phys. 176 (2002) 70-92; A.M. Blokhin, R.S. Bushmanov, A.S. Rudometova, V. Romano, Linear asymptotic stability of the equilibrium state for the 2D MEP hydrodynamical model of charge transport in semiconductors, Nonlinear Anal. 65 (2006) 1018-1038]. Unlike well-studied elliptic boundary-value problems in domains with smooth boundaries (see, for example, [O.A. Ladyzhenskaya, N.N. Uralceva, Linear and Quasilinear Elliptic Equations, Nauka, Moscow, 1973; D. Gilbarg, N.S. Trudinger, Elliptic Partial Differential Equations of Second Order, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1983]), our problem has two significant features: firstly, the boundary is not a smooth curve and, secondly, the type of boundary conditions is mixed (the Dirichlet condition is satisfied on the one part of the boundary whereas the Neumann condition on the other part). The well-posedness of the problem in Hölder and Sobolev spaces is proved. The representation of the solution to the problem is obtained in an explicit form.

Critical time of a long multilayer viscoelastic shell

The buckling in stability of a long multilayer linearly viscoelastic shell, composed of different materials and loaded with a uniformly distributed external pressure of given intensity, is investigated. By neglecting the influence of fastening of its end faces, the initial problem is reduced to an analysis of the loss of load-carrying capacity of a ring of unit width separated from the shell. The new problem is solved by using a mixed-type variational method, allowing for the geometric nonlinearity, together with the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The creep kernels are taken exponential with equal indices of creep. As an example, a three-layer ring with a structure symmetric about its midsurface is considered, and the effect of its physicomechanical and geometrical parameters, as well as of wave formation, on the critical time of buckling in stability of the ring is determined. It is found that, by selecting appropriate materials, more efficient multilayer shell-type structural members can be created. __________ Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 617–628, September–October, 2007.     

Wave parameter identification problem for ocean test structure data,part 2, discrete formulation

This paper deals with the solution of the wave parameter identification problem for ocean test structure data. A discrete formulation is assumed. An ocean test structure is considered, and wave elevation and velocities are assumed to be measured with a number of sensors. Within the frame of linear wave theory, a Fourier series model is chosen for the wave elevation and velocities. Then, the following problem is posed: Find the amplitudes of the various wave components of specified frequency and direction, so that the assumed model of wave elevation and velocities provides the best fit to the measured data. Here, the term best fit is employed in the least-square sense over a given time interval.At each time instant, the wave representation involves four indexes (frequency, direction, instrument, time); hence, four-dimensional arrays are required. This formal difficulty can be avoided by switching to an alternative representation involving only two indexes (frequency-direction, instrument-time); hence, standard vector-matrix notation can be used. Within this frame, optimality conditions are derived for the amplitudes of the assumed wave model.A characteristic of the wave parameter identification problem is that the condition number of the system matrix can be large. Therefore, the numerical solution is not an easy task and special procedures must be employed. Specifically, Gaussian elimination is avoided and advantageous use is made of the Householder transformation, in the light of the least-square nature of the problem and the discretized approach to the problem.Numerical results are presented. The effect of various system parameters (number of frequencies, number of directions, sampling time, number of sensors, and location of sensors) is investigated in connection with global or strong accuracy, local or weak accuracy, integral accuracy, and condition number of the system matrix.From the numerical experiments, it appears that the wave parameter identification problem has a unique solution if the number of directions is smaller than or equal to the number of sensors; it has an infinite number of solutions otherwise. In the case where a unique solution exists, the condition number of the system matrix increases as the size of the system increases, and this has a detrimental effect on the accuracy. However, the accuracy can be improved by proper selection of the sampling time and by proper choice of the number and location of the sensors.Generally speaking, the computations done for the discrete case exhibit better accuracy than the computations done for the continuous case (Ref. 5). This improved accuracy is a direct consequence of having used advantageously the Householder transformation and is obtained at the expense of increased memory requirements and increased CPU time.This work was supported by Exxon Production Research Company, Houston, Texas.

From inequalities involving exponential functions and sums to logarithmically complete monotonicity of ratios of gamma functions

In this paper, the authors review origins, motivations, and generalizations of a series of inequalities involving finitely many exponential functions and sums. They establish three new inequalities involving finitely many exponential functions and sums by finding convexity of a function related to the generating function of the Bernoulli numbers. They also survey the history, backgrounds, generalizations, logarithmically complete monotonicity, and applications of a series of ratios of finitely many gamma functions, present complete monotonicity of a linear combination of finitely many trigamma functions, construct a new ratio of finitely many gamma functions, derive monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, concavity, complete monotonicity, and the Bernstein function property of the newly constructed ratio of finitely many gamma functions. Finally, they suggest two linear combinations of finitely many trigamma functions and two ratios of finitely many gamma functions to be investigated.     

Personae at play. ‘Men of Mathematics’ in commentary

Mathematical writers, above all, Euclid, tend to present their theorems as decontextualized, abstract propositions, which has become the standard modus of textual presentation in theoretical mathematics. Mathematical commentators, however, provide their readers with personal names and historical facts in order to elucidate problems, provide contexts of discovery, or construct doxographies, among other things. Modern readers have used such information for the construction of histories of science. When we look at these passages, however, we see that personal names and information about mathematicians of the past can serve quite a range of different objectives, such as the strategic self-positioning of the commentator vis-à-vis the past or present of mathematics, the education of the reader, mathematical or moral, the construction of the history of the field, etc. Not only does the commentator present a persona of himself to the reader, he can also turn colleagues and predecessors into personae. This paper attempts to elucidate the practice, by offering four examples of such plays of and with personae, in Pappus, Eutocius, al-Nayrīzī, and Proclus.     

Rheological properties of microcrystalline chitosan gels

The procedure of thermocatalic processing of chitosan developed allows one to decrease its degree of polymerization to the so-called leveling-off degree and, after the precipitation from a solution and washing, to obtain hydrogels of microcrystalline chitosan (MCC.) The flow curves of the MCC gels showed that a spatial structure was formed in the gels even at low their concentrations. The measurements of vicoelastic properties of the dispersions verified the existence of such a structure. It is shown that, at MCC concentrations above 3%, a transition from the isotropic phase to a liquid-crystalline one occurs. For comparison, the flow properties of chitosan solutions in acetic acid were studied too. The measurements showed that, at the solution concentrations considered, they did not exhibit liquid-crystalline rheological properties. __________ Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 385–398, May–June, 2007.
