Numerical methods for Hamilton Jacobi functional differential equations

Initial and initial boundary value problems for first order partial functional differential equations are considered. Explicit difference schemes of the Euler type and implicit difference methods are investigated. The following theoretical aspects of the methods are presented. Sufficient conditions for the convergence of approximate solutions are given and comparisons of the methods are presented. It is proved that assumptions on the regularity of given functions are the same for both the methods. It is shown that conditions on the mesh for explicit difference schemes are more restrictive than suitable assumptions for implicit methods. There are implicit difference schemes which are convergent and corresponding explicit difference methods are not convergent. Error estimates for both the methods are construted.     

On Time Discretizations for Spectral Methods

New methods are introduced for the time integration of the Fourier and Chebyshev methods of solution for dynamic differential equations. These methods are unconditionally stable, even though no matrix inversions are required. Time steps are chosen by accuracy requirements alone. For the Fourier method both leapfrog and Runge-Kutta methods are considered. For the Chebyshev method only Runge-Kutta schemes are tested. Numerical calculations are presented to verify the analytic results. Applications to the shallow water equations are presented.     

Depth notions for orthogonal regression

Global depth, tangent depth and simplicial depths for classical and orthogonal regression are compared in examples, and properties that are useful for calculations are derived. The robustness of the maximum simplicial depth estimates is shown in examples. Algorithms for the calculation of depths for orthogonal regression are proposed, and tests for multiple regression are transferred to orthogonal regression. These tests are distribution free in the case of bivariate observations. For a particular test problem, the powers of tests that are based on simplicial depth and tangent depth are compared by simulations.     

Estimating a survival function with incomplete cause-of-death data

We propose a random censorship model which permits uncertainty in the cause of death assessments for a subset of the subjects in a survival experiment. A nonparametric maximum likelihood approach and a “self-consistency” approach are considered. The solution sets corresponding to both approaches are found. They are infinite and identical. Only some of the solutions are consistent; i.e., the MLEs and self-consistent estimators are not consistent in general. Two estimates are thus proposed and their asymptotic properties are studied. It is shown that both estimates are strongly consistent and converge to Gaussian processes. The covariance structures of these Gaussian processes are derived.     

Aggregation functions and generalized convexity in fuzzy optimization and decision making

In this paper triangular norms and conorms are introduced and suitable definitions and properties are mentioned. Then, aggregation functions and their basic properties are defined. The averaging aggregation operators are defined and some interesting properties are derived. Moreover, we have extended concave and quasiconcave functions introducing t-quasiconcave and upper and lower starshaped functions. The main results concerning aggregation of generalized concave functions are presented and some extremal properties of compromise decisions by adopting aggregation operators are derived and discussed.     

Periodic and solitary-wave solutions of the Degasperis–Procesi equation

Travelling-wave solutions of the Degasperis–Procesi equation are investigated. The solutions are characterized by two parameters. For propagation in the positive x-direction, hump-like, inverted loop-like and coshoidal periodic-wave solutions are found; hump-like, inverted loop-like and peakon solitary-wave solutions are obtained as well. For propagation in the negative x-direction, there are solutions which are just the mirror image in the x-axis of the aforementioned solutions. A transformed version of the Degasperis–Procesi equation, which is a generalization of the Vakhnenko equation, is also considered. For propagation in the positive x-direction, hump-like, loop-like, inverted loop-like, bell-like and coshoidal periodic-wave solutions are found; loop-like, inverted loop-like and kink-like solitary-wave solutions are obtained as well. For propagation in the negative x-direction, well-like and inverted coshoidal periodic-wave solutions are found; well-like and inverted peakon solitary-wave solutions are obtained as well. In an appropriate limit, the previously known solutions of the Vakhnenko equation are recovered.     

State models and asymptotic behaviour of 2D positive systems

Homogeneous 2D positive systems are 2D state-space models whosevariables are alwalys nonnegative and, consequently, are describedby a pair of nonnegative square matrices (A, B). In the paper,the properties of these pairs are discussed both in the generalcase and under particular assumptions like finite memory, separability,and property L. Various aspects of the positive asymptotic dynamic are considered;in particular, sufficient conditions are provided guaranteeingthat the local states are eventually strictly positive. Finally,some results on the convergence of the states towards a constantasymptotic distribution are presented.

On covering mappings on solenoids

Covering mappings on the dyadic solenoid are studied. Some results stated by Zhou Youcheng (2000) are discussed in a more detailed way by indicating certain inaccuracies in their proofs. These are either corrected or supplemented, or else suitable counterexamples are constructed. Some open questions are asked and connections with related results are considered.

     

Stability of random impulsive coupled systems on networks with Markovian switching

Abstract

This article is intended to study global asymptotical stability in probability for random impulsive coupled systems on networks with Markovian switching. Two cases are considered. (1) Continuous dynamics are stable while impulses are unstable; (2) impulses are stable while continuous dynamics are unstable. To begin with, based on Lyapunov method as well as graph-theoretic technique, several new stability criteria in two cases are derived, that are, the Lyapunov-type criteria and the coefficients-type criteria. Then main results are used for a class of random impulsive coupled oscillators. Finally, the effectiveness of the obtained results is verified by numerical simulations.

Enumeration of point-determining graphs

Point-determining graphs are graphs in which no two vertices have the same neighborhoods, co-point-determining graphs are those whose complements are point-determining, and bi-point-determining graphs are those both point-determining and co-point-determining. Bicolored point-determining graphs are point-determining graphs whose vertices are properly colored with white and black. We use the combinatorial theory of species to enumerate these graphs as well as the connected cases.

Parabolic systems of partial differential equations are developed and applications are discussed. The systems are quasilinear in divergence form with high-order coefficient matrices which are neither symmetric nor sparse.

Differential systems with Fuchsian linear part: Correction and linearization, normal forms and multiple orthogonal polynomials

Differential systems with a Fuchsian linear part are studied in regions including all the singularities in the complex plane of these equations. Such systems are not necessarily analytically equivalent to their linear part (they are not linearizable) and obstructions are found as a unique nonlinear correction after which the system becomes formally linearizable.More generally, normal forms are found.The corrections and the normal forms are found constructively. Expansions in multiple orthogonal polynomials and their generalization to matrix-valued polynomials are instrumental to these constructions.

Relations Between Linear Equations and Painlevé’s Equations

Painlevé equations are studied on the basis of linear equations, which are generic for them. Different possible approaches are compared to each other. Formulas binding these approaches are derived. Symmetries demonstrated in the equations are also a subject of discussion.     

Continuity of bargaining solutions

Upper semicontinuous solutions of the bargaining problem are studied and also lower semicontinuous weak solutions of that problem are considered. Though mainly compact bargaining pairs are investigated, extensions to non-compact bargaining pairs are indicated. The continuity properties of some well known bargaining solutions are discussed.     

Three types of matrix stability

Three types of stability of real matrices are compared and necessary conditions are obtained in terms of the principal submatrices. For normal matrices and matrices whose off-diagonal elements are all positive, these conditions are sufficient, and the three types of stability are all equivalent. Necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the elements of the matrix are proven for matrices of order 2 and 3.
