线性常微分方程的全局误差估计和优化求解方法

线性常微分方程初值问题求解在许多应用中起着重要作用.目前,已存在很多的数值方法和求解器用于计算离散网格点上的近似解,但很少有对全局误差(global error)进行估计和优化的方法.本文首先通过将离散数值解插值成为可微函数用来定义方程的残差;再给出残差与近似解的关系定理并推导出全局误差的上界;然后以最小化残差的二范数为目标将方程求解问题转化为优化求解问题;最后通过分析导出矩阵的结构,提出利用共轭梯度法对其进行求解.之后将该方法应用于滤波电路和汽车悬架系统等实际问题.实验分析表明,本文估计方法对线性常微分方程的初值问题的全局误差具有比较好的估计效果,优化求解方法能够在不增加网格点的情形下求解出线性常微分方程在插值解空间中的全局最优解.     

Critical stability of solutions to linear ordinary differential equations with large high-frequency terms

The stability problem is considered for certain classes of systems of linear ordinary differential equations with almost periodic coefficients. These systems are characterized by the presence of rapidly oscillating terms with large amplitudes. For each class of equations, a procedure for analyzing the critical stability of solutions is constructed on the basis of the Shtokalo-Kolesov method. A verification scheme is described. The theory proposed is illustrated by using a linearized stability problem for the upper equilibrium of a pendulum with a vibrating suspension point.     

Multivalued solutions of second-order differential equations

Multivalued (not set-valued as in the theory of differential inclusions!) solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODE) appear naturally in geometrical and physical problems in which the independent and dependent variablesx, y are geometric coordinates of a current point on the sought-for curve. This note contains some simple results concerning smooth multivalued solutions of real second-order ODE resolved with respect toy″; the special role of equations of the third degree with respect toy′ is underlined. The method of investigation is based on combining ODEs fory(x) andx(y). Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 66, No. 6, pp. 871–878, December, 1999.     

A Volterra integral formulation for determining the periodic solutions of some autonomous, nonlinear, third-order ordinary differential equations

A Volterra integral formulation based on the introduction of a term proportional to the velocity times the square of the (unknown) frequency of oscillation, a new independent variable equal to the original one times the (unknown) frequency of oscillation, the method of variation of parameters and series expansions of both the solution and the frequency of oscillation, is used to determine the periodic solutions to three nonlinear, autonomous, third-order, ordinary differential equations. It is shown that the first term of the series expansion of the frequency of oscillation coincides with that determined from a first-order harmonic balance procedure, whereas the two-term approximation to the frequency of oscillation is shown to be more accurate than that of a parameter perturbation procedure for the second equation considered in this paper. For the third equation, it is shown that the two-term approximation presented in this paper is more accurate than the corresponding one for one of the parameter perturbation methods, and for initial velocities less than one, for the other parameter perturbation approach.

Asymptotic properties of solutions to linear non-autonomous neutral differential equations

In this article we study asymptotic properties of solutions to first order linear neutral differential equations with variable coefficients and constant delays. Results are stated in terms of the solution to a characteristic equation. By doing this, we extend some of the results obtained for delay equations in [J.G. Dix, Ch.G. Philos, I.K. Purnaras, An asymptotic property of solutions to linear non-autonomous delay differential equations, Electron. J. Differential Equations 2005 (2005) 1-9] to neutral equations.     

Logarithmic derivatives of solutions to linear differential equations

Given an ordinary differential field of characteristic zero, it is known that if and satisfy linear differential equations with coefficients in , then is algebraic over . We present a new short proof of this fact using Gröbner basis techniques and give a direct method for finding a polynomial over that satisfies. Moreover, we provide explicit degree bounds and extend the result to fields with positive characteristic. Finally, we give an application of our method to a class of nonlinear differential equations.

     

Variation of parameters formulae with initial time difference for linear integrodifferential equations

This article investigates the relationship between an unperturbed integrodifferential system and a perturbed integrodifferential system that have different initial positions and an initial time difference (ITD). Variation of parameter techniques are employed to obtain integral formulae and to define Lyapunov-like functions.     

Smooth equivalence of differential equations and linear automorphisms

For systems of ordinary differential equations admitting linear automorphisms, we consider the problems of smooth equivalence and linearization preserving these automorphisms. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 66, No. 4, pp. 567–578, October, 1999.     

Asymptotically linear solutions of differential equations via Lyapunov functions
