Motion of an object-parachute system with allowance for canopy pulsations

The dynamics of an object-parachute system are examined with allowance for canopy pulsations. The law for the variation of the parachute's resistance is assumed to be harmonic. By means of the asymptotic method of nonlinear mechanics the equations for perturbed motion of the system with variable coefficients were investigated. Conditions were obtained for which the system has a parametric resonance. It is shown that in this case the amplitude of oscillations by the object-parachute system increases according to an exponential law.Translated from Dinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 5, pp. 67–73, 1986.     

First-Order Equations of Motion in the Supersymmetric Yang–Mills Theory with a Scalar Multiplet

We propose a system of first-order equations of motion all solutions of which are solutions of a system of second-order equations of motion for the supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory with a scalar multiplet. We find N = 1 transformations under which the systems of first- and second-order equations of motion are invariant.     

The initial boundary value problem with a free surface condition for the ɛ-approximations of the Navier-Stokes equations and some of their regularizations

We study the unique solvability in the large on the semiaxis ℝ⁺ of the initial boundary value problems (IBVP) with the boundary slipcondition (the natural boundary condition) for the ɛ-approximations (0.6)–(0.8), (0.20); (0.13)–(0.15), (0.21), and (0.16–0.18), (0.22) of the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE), of the NSE modified in the sense of O. A. Ladyzhenskaya, and the equations of motion of the Kelvin-Voight fluids. For the classical solutions of perturbed problems we prove certain estimates which are uniform with respect to ɛ, and show that as ɛ→0 the classical solutions of the perturbed IBVP respectively converge to the classical solutions of the IBVP with the boundary slip condition for the NSE, for the NSE (0.11) modified in the sense of Ladyzhenskaya, and for the equations (0.12) of motion of the Kelvin-Voight fluids.

Relaxation self-oscillations in neuron systems: III

The mathematical model considered here of a neuron system is a chain of an arbitrary number m ≥ 2 of diffusion-coupled singularly perturbed nonlinear delay differential equations with Neumann-type conditions at the endpoints. We study the existence, asymptotic behavior, and stability of relaxation periodic solutions of this system.     

Global existence of solutions for perturbed differential equations

In this paper we consider sufficient conditions for the continuability of solutions for perturbed differential equations. We obtain also some results for the global existence of solutions for differential inclusions and for stochastic differential equations of McShane and Ito type. We give an application to the global inversion of local diffeomorphisms.     

Approximation of the incompressible non‐Newtonian fluid equations by the artificial compressibility method

This paper studies the approximation of the non‐Newtonian fluid equations by the artificial compressibility method. We first introduce a family of perturbed compressible non‐Newtonian fluid equations (depending on a positive parameter ε) that approximates the incompressible equations as ε → 0⁺. Then, we prove the unique existence and convergence of solutions for the compressible equations to the solutions of the incompressible equations. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Symmetries of shallow water equations on a rotating plane

We consider a system of nonlinear differential equations which describes the spatial motion of an ideal incompressible fluid on a rotating plane in the shallow water approximation and a more general system of the theory of long waves which takes into account the specifics of shear flows. Using the group analysis methods, we calculate the 9-dimensional Lie algebras of infinitesimal operators admissible by the models. We establish an isomorphism of these Lie algebras with a known Lie algebra of operators admissible by the system of equations for the two-dimensional isentropic motions of a polytropic gas with the adiabatic exponent γ = 2. The nontrivial symmetries of the models under consideration enable us to carry out the group generation of the solutions. The class of stationary solutions to the equations of rotating shallow water transforms into a new class of periodic solutions.     

Quasistationary Approximation in the Rotating Ring Problem

We consider the planar rotation-symmetric motion by inertia of a viscous incompressible fluid in a ring with free boundary. We reduce the corresponding initial-boundary value problem for the Navier–Stokes equations to some problem for a coupled system of one parabolic equation and two ordinary differential equations. We suppose that the coefficient of the derivatives of the sought functions with respect to time (the quasistationary parameter) is small; so the system is singularly perturbed. In this article we construct an asymptotic expansion for a solution to the rotating ring problem in a small quasistationary parameter and obtain a smallness estimate for the difference between the exact and approximate solutions.     

System of Laplace equations in a half-space with a free interface,capillary-gravitational waves,bifurcation, and symmetry

We study the stability of branching solutions of a system of two nonlinearly perturbed Laplace equations in a half-space with two differential relations on the interface. This system describes the motion of a two-layer fluid. To construct and study the related branching systems, methods of group analysis of differential equations (RZhMat 1978 11B883K, RZhMat 1983 11A813K) and the S. Lie-L.V. Ovsyannikov technique of invariants and invariant manifolds are used.     

Mathematical modeling of heat-distribution processes using generalized equations for thermal conductivity

Problems in the mathematical modeling of heat-distribution processes on the basis of more general equations than parabolic equations are considered. We study the general structure of the relations between solutions of various approximations to the generalized heat-conductivity equations. We introduce a notion of singularly perturbed dissipative structures and analyze singularly perturbed blow-up regimes.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 70, pp. 54–60, 1990.     

Finding all solutions to polynomial systems and other systems of equations

In a previous paper, the authors suggested a procedure for obtaining all solutions to certain systems ofn equations inn complex variables. The idea was to start with a trivial system of equations to which all solutions were easily known. The trivial system was then perturbed into the given system. During the perturbation process, one followed the solution paths from each of the trivial solutions into the solutions of the given system. All solutions to the given system were thereby obtained.This paper utilizes a different approach that eliminates the requirement of the previous paper for a leading dominating term in each equation. We add a dominating term artificially and then fade it. Also we rely on mathematically more fundamental concepts from differential topology. These advancements permit the calculation of all solutions to arbitrary polynomials and to various other systems ofn equations inn complex variables. In addition, information on the number of solutions can be obtained without calculation.Work supported in part by NSF Grant No. MCS77-15509 and ARO Grant No. DAAG-29-78-G-0160.Work supported in part by ARO Grant No. DAAG-29-78-G-0160     

On the perron sign change effect for Lyapunov characteristic exponents of solutions of differential systems

The Perron effect is the effect in which the characteristic Lyapunov exponents of solutions of a differential system change sign from negative to positive when passing to a perturbed system. We show that this effect is realized on all nontrivial solutions of two two-dimensional systems: an original linear system with negative characteristic exponents and a perturbed system with small perturbations of arbitrary order m > 1 in a neighborhood of the origin, all of whose nontrivial solutions have positive characteristic exponents. We compute the exact positive value of the characteristic exponents of solutions of the two-dimensional nonlinear Perron system with small second-order perturbations, which realizes only a partial Perron effect.

GENERALIZED STOCHASTIC PERTURBATION-DEPENDING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

The paper is devoted to the generalized stochastic differential equations of the Ito? type whose coefficients are additionally perturbed and dependent on a small parameter. Their solutions are compared with the solutions of the corresponding unperturbed equations. We give conditions under which the solutions of these equations are close in the (2m)-th moment sense on finite intervals or on intervals whose length tends to infinity as the small parameter tends to zero. We also give the degree of the closeness of these solutions.     

Singularly perturbed and nonlocal modulation equations for systems with interacting instability mechanisms

Summary Two related systems of coupled modulation equations are studied and compared in this paper. The modulation equations are derived for a certain class of basic systems which are subject to two distinct, interacting, destabilising mechanisms. We assume that, near criticality, the ratio of the widths of the unstable wavenumber-intervals of the two (weakly) unstable modes is small—as, for instance, can be the case in double-layer convection. Based on these assumptions we first derive a singularly perturbed modulation equation and then a modulation equation with a nonlocal term. The reduction of the singularly perturbed system to the nonlocal system can be interpreted as a limit in which the width of the smallest unstable interval vanishes. We study and compare the behaviour of the stationary solutions of both systems. It is found that spatially periodic stationary solutions of the nonlocal system exist under the same conditions as spatially periodic stationary solutions of the singularly perturbed system. Moreover, these solutions can be interpreted as representing the same quasi-periodic patterns in the underlying basic system. Thus, the ‘Landau reduction’ to the nonlocal system has no significant influence on the stationary quasi-periodic patterns. However, a large variety of intricate heteroclinic and homoclinic connections is found for the singularly perturbed system. These orbits all correspond to so-called ‘localised structures’ in the underlying system: They connect simple periodic patterns atx → ± ∞. None of these patterns can be described by the nonlocal system. So, one may conclude that the reduction to the nonlocal system destroys a rich and important set of patterns.     

The Cauchy–Neumann problem for a multi‐dimensional isentropic hydrodynamic model for semiconductors

We investigate a multi‐dimensional isentropic hydrodynamic (Euler–Poisson) model for semiconductors, where the energy equation is replaced by the pressure–density relation p(n) . We establish the global existence of smooth solutions for the Cauchy–Neumann problem with small perturbed initial data and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We show that, as t→+∞, the solutions converge to the non‐constant stationary solutions of the corresponding drift–diffusion equations. Moreover, we also investigate the existence and uniqueness of the stationary solutions for the corresponding drift–diffusion equations. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability of Stochastic Delay Differential Equation with a Small Parameter

Abstract

Stochastic delay differential equations with wideband noise perturbations is considered. First it is shown that the perturbed system converges weakly to a stochastic delay differential equation driven by a Brownian motion. Stability and asymptotic properties of stochastic delay differential equations with a small parameter are developed. It is shown that the properties such as stability, recurrence, etc., of the limit system with time lag is preserved for the solution x ^?(·) of the underlying delay equation for ? > 0 small enough. Perturbed Liapunov function method is used in the analysis.     

Analysis of the set of trajectories of nonlinear dynamics: Stability under interval initial conditions

For the set of equations of perturbed motion whose solutions satisfy interval initial conditions, we obtain sufficient conditions for the Lyapunov stability and the practical stability of these solutions. The analysis is performed on the basis of locally large scalar Lyapunov functions. As examples, we consider quasilinear and linear nonautonomous systems.
