Chaos synchronization of the fractional-order Chen’s system

In this paper, based on the stability theorem of linear fractional systems, a necessary condition is given to check the chaos synchronization of fractional systems with incommensurate order. Chaos synchronization is studied by utilizing the Pecora–Carroll (PC) method and the coupling method. The necessary condition can also be used as a tool to confirm results of a numerical simulation. Numerical simulation results show the effectiveness of the necessary condition.     

A Study on Abnormality in Variational and Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, a variational problem is considered with differential equality constraints over a variable interval. It is stressed that the abnormality is a local character of the admissible set; consequently, a definition of regularity related to the constraints characterizing the admissible set is given. Then, for the local minimum necessary conditions, a compact form equivalent to the well-known Euler equation and transversality condition is given. By exploiting this result and the previous definition of regularity, it is proved that nonregularity is a necessary and sufficient condition for an admissible solution to be an abnormal extremal. Then, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for an abnormal extremal to be weakly abnormal. The analysis of the abnormality is completed by considering the particular case of affine constraints over a fixed interval: in this case, the abnormality turns out to have a global character, so that it is possible to define an abnormal problem or a normal problem. The last section is devoted to the study of an optimal control problem characterized by differential constraints corresponding to the dynamics of a controlled process. The above general results are particularized to this problem, yielding a necessary and sufficient condition for an admissible solution to be an abnormal extremal. From this, a previously known result is recovered concerning the linearized system controllability as a sufficient condition to exclude the abnormality.

Characterization Theorem for Best Polynomial Spline Approximation with Free Knots,Variable Degree and Fixed Tails

In this paper, we derive a necessary condition for a best approximation by piecewise polynomial functions of varying degree from one interval to another. Based on these results, we obtain a characterization theorem for the polynomial splines with fixed tails, that is the value of the spline is fixed in one or more knots (external or internal). We apply nonsmooth nonconvex analysis to obtain this result, which is also a necessary and sufficient condition for inf-stationarity in the sense of Demyanov–Rubinov. This paper is an extension of a paper where similar conditions were obtained for free tails splines. The main results of this paper are essential for the development of a Remez-type algorithm for free knot spline approximation.     

Heavy traffic approximations for busy period in an M/G/∞ queue

A Sequential Smooth Penalization Approach to Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints

In this paper, a mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC) is reformulated as a nonsmooth constrained mathematical program via the Fischer–Burmeister function. Smooth penalty functions are used to treat this nonsmooth constrained program. Under linear independence constraint qualification, and upper level strict complementarity condition, together with some other mild conditions, we prove that the limit point of stationary points satisfying second-order necessary conditions of unconstrained penalized problems is a strongly stationary point, hence a B-stationary point of the original MPCC. Furthermore, this limit point also satisfies a second-order necessary condition of the original MPCC. Numerical results are presented to test the performance of this method.     

On Two-stage Estimate Based on Independent Estimate of Covariance Matrix

When an independent estimate of covariance matrix is available, we often prefer two-stage estimate （TSE）. Expressions of exact covarianee matrix of the TSE obtained by using all and some covariables in eovariance adjustment approach are given, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the TSE to be superior to the least square estimate and related large sample test is also established. Furthermore the TSE, by using some covariables, is expressed as weighted least square estimate. Basing on this fact, a necessary and sufficient condition for the TSE by using some covariables to be superior to the TSE by using all eovariables is obtained. These results give us some insight into the selection of covariables in the TSE and its application.     

New results on the parametric stability of nonlinear systems

In this paper, we derive some new results on the parametric stability of nonlinear systems. Explicitly, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a nonlinear system to be locally parametrically exponentially stable at an equilibrium point. We also derive a necessary condition for the nonlinear system to be locally parametrically asymptotically stable at an equilibrium point. Next, we derive some new results on the parametric stability of discrete-time nonlinear systems. As in the continuous case, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a discrete-time nonlinear system to be locally parametrically exponentially stable at an equilibrium point. We also derive a necessary condition for the discrete-time nonlinear system to be locally parametrically asymptotically stable at an equilibrium point. We illustrate our results with some classical examples from the bifurcation theory.     

On the bargaining set, kernel and core of superadditive games

We prove that for superadditive games a necessary and sufficient condition for the bargaining set to coincide with the core is that the monotonic cover of the excess game induced by a payoff be balanced for each imputation in the bargaining set. We present some new results obtained by verifying this condition for specific classes of games. For N-zero-monotonic games we show that the same condition required at each kernel element is also necessary and sufficient for the kernel to be contained in the core. We also give examples showing that to maintain these characterizations, the respective assumptions on the games cannot be lifted. Received: March 1998/Revised version: December 1998

Equitable Coloring of Complete r-partite Graphs

A graph is equitably k-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into k independent sets of as near equal sizes as possible. In this paper, we determine a sufficient and necessary condition for which a complete r-partite graph is equitably k-colorable. From this result, we can provide another way to prove some previous results.

An extension of the Hestenes necessary condition

After the pioneering approach of Hestenes, which has not been sufficiently considered, the concept of image of a constrained extremum problem has been recognized recently to be a powerful tool in optimization. Hence in this paper, we consider a necessary optimality condition for a nondifferentiable extremum problem established by Hestenes in the image space and, by again exploiting the concept of image of the problem, a necessary condition embodying that of Hestenes is given. Moreover, the study is completed by expressing the previous result in the space where the unknowns of the given problem run. In this way, we obtain a Lagrangian-type necessary condition holding for a particular class of semidifferentiable problems.     

Bias phenomenon and compensation in multiple target tracking algorithms

Bias phenomenon in multiple target tracking has been observed for a long time. This paper is devoted to a study of the bias resulting from the miscorrelation in data association. One result of this paper is a necessary condition for miscorrelation to cause bias. Relying on the necessary condition and a model for data association process, techniques are developed to give general directions for where and how to compensate the bias related to miscorrelation in general tracking algorithms. Case studies on the bias phenomenon in two tracking algorithms, i.e., global nearest neighborhood (GNN) and joint probabilistic data association (JPDA), are launched as a practice of the ideas and results presented in this paper. The outcome of the examples illustrates and strongly supports our results. A discussion of several statistical issues is given in the end of this paper, in which the behavior for the bias in GNN and JPDA is studied.
