Optimal Controller for the Almost Exact Guidance of a Singularly Perturbed System to Zero

The method of penalty functions is used to construct an optimal controller that guides a singularly perturbed system (vehicle) into a small neighborhood of a specified (target) position. It is proved that the convergence of the path of the vehicle to the exact-guidance path as the penalty coefficient increases without bound is uniform with respect to a singular parameter.     

A method for solving singularly perturbed systems containing singular manifolds

Summary A method of obtaining the asymptotic solution of a singularly perturbed system containing singular manifolds is presented. Some sufficient conditions for the convergence of the solutions to the stable singular manifolds are provided. An example from magneto-hydrodynamics, showing interesting properties of the solution, is given.     

An asymptotic finite element method for improvement of solutions of boundary layer problems

Summary A scheme that uses singular perturbation theory to improve the performance of existing finite element methods is presented. The proposed scheme improves the error bounds of the standard Galerkin finite element scheme by a factor of O(ⁿ⁺¹) (where is the small parameter andn is the order of the asymptotic approximation). Numerical results for linear second order O.D.E.'s are given and are compared with several other schemes.     

Periodic solutions of singularly perturbed delay equations

We consider a general class of singularly perturbed delay differential systems depending on a singular parameter and another parameter . For =0, the equation defines a mapT which undergoes a generic period doubling at =0. If the bifurcation is supercritical (subcritical), these period two points define a stable period two square wave (unstable period two pulse wave). We give conditions on the vector field such that there is a sectorS in the , plane such that there is a unique periodic orbit if the parameters are inS, the orbit is stable (unstable) if the period doubling bifurcation is supercritical (subcritical) and approaches the square (pulse) wave as 0.Partially supported by NSF and DARPA.

Ultrafilter translations

We develop a method for extending results about ultrafilters into a more general setting. In this paper we shall be mainly concerned with applications to cardinality logics. For example, assumingV=L, Gödel's Axiom of Constructibility, we prove that if > then the logic with the quantifier there exist many is (,)-compact if and only if either is weakly compact or is singular of cofinality<. As a corollary, for every infinite cardinals and , there exists a (,)-compact non-(,)-compact logic if and only if either < orcf<cf or < is weakly compact.Counterexamples are given showing that the above statements may fail, ifV=L is not assumed.However, without special assumptions, analogous results are obtained for the stronger notion of [,]-compactness.     

Beitrag zur Reduktion des Entscheidungsproblems auf Klassen von Hornformeln mit kurzen Alternationen

Ohne Zusammenfassung Zusatz bei der Korrektur: Ein vollständiger und korrekter Beweis für die Entscheidbarkeit der eingangs angeführten Aanderaaschen Klasse ((0, ), (, , ...)) erscheint demnächst im JSL (S.O. Aanderaa/H.R.Lewis: Prefix classes of Krom formulas). Ebendort wird auch die Reduktionstypeneigenschaft für ((0, ), (0, 0, )) und ((0, )), (0, 0, )) nachgewiesen, während ((0, ), (, )) sich als entscheidbar herausgestellt hat (s. E. Börger: Eine entscheidbare Klasse von Kromformeln. ZMLG 19 (1973), 117–120.) Der Kromsche Reduktionstyp konnte mittlerweile einerseits zu ((0, ), (0, 4)) verschärft werden (s. D. Rödding, E. Börger: The undecidability of (0, 4)-formulae with binary disjunctions, vorgetragen auf dem Logic Coll. Bristol 1973, ein abstract erscheint im JSL), andererseits kündigt H.R.Lewis die Reduktionstypeneigenschaft für ((0, ), (0, 1)) an (s. H.R.Lewis: Krom formulas with one dyadic predicate letter. Notices AMS 20, 5 (1973) A-500, abstr. no. 73T-E78.)Dieser Aufsatz geht aus der Dissertation [2] hervor, die dem Fachbereich Mathematik der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Münster im Sommersemester 1971 vorgelegt worden ist. Die Ergebnisse stammen aus dem Wintersemester 1970/71. Eine Ankündigung der hauptsächlichen Resultate ist in den Notices of the American Mathematical Society 19, 2 (1972) A-333 unter der abstract no. * 72T-E24 erschienen.     

On the stability of the transport equation

We consider boundary value problems associated with the equation T=–A in a Hilbert Space, where T and A are bounded, self adjoint, injective, and A has a bounded inverse. We discuss the stability of the solution when A is perturbed by a self adjoint operator.

Counterexamples to a stability barrier

Summary We consider multistep difference schemes for the linear, constant coefficient advection equationu _t=cu_x. In the last section of Strang [5], a barrier for the order of stable schemes has been given which was independent of the number of time levels. Here we give two types of counterexamples to this barrier. The first type consists of formulas of highest possible order to a given stencil, which are stable for small positive Courant numbers. Further a formula is given where one does not insist on having the highest possible order for the stencil and uses the gained freedom to ensure stability for small positive and negative Courant numbers. In addition, an explicit formula is derived for the schemes of highest possible order when stability is disregarded.This work has been performed in the project Mehrschritt-Differenzenschemata of the Schwerpunktprogramm Finite Approximationen in der Strömungsmechanik which is supported by the DFG

Numerical application of Euler's series transformation and its generalizations

Summary A nonlinear generalizationÊ _z of Euler's series transformation is compared with the (linear) Euler-Knopp transformationE _z and a twoparametric methodE . It is shown how to applyE orE _, to compute the valuef(z_o) of a functionf from the power series at 0 iff is holomorphic in a half plane or in the cut plane. BothE andE _, are superior toÊ _z . A compact recursive algorithm is given for computingE andE _,.

Phragmén-Lindelöf theorems for second-order quasilinear elliptic equations

Analogues are formulated of the well-known, in the theory of analytic functions, Phragmen-Lindelöf theorem for the gradients of solutions of a broad class of quasilinear equations of elliptic type. Examples are given illustrating the accuracy of the results obtained for the gradients of solutions of the equations of the form div(|U|^–2u)=f(x, u, u), where f(x, u, u) is a function locally bounded in ²ⁿ⁺¹. f(x, 0, u)=0, uf(x, u, u) c¦u¦1+q(1+ ¦u|), > 1, c > 0, q > 0, is an arbitrary real number, and n >- 2. The basic role in the technique employed in the paper is played by the apparatus of capacitary characteristics.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 10, pp. 1376–1381, October, 1992.The author sincerely appreciates E.

Superficie cubiche di\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{C}^3 a curve sottoinsieme intersezione completa

Summary In this paper we classify the algebraic cubic surfaces of the affine space is the complex field, whose algebraic curves are set-theoretic complete intersections of ; in other words surfaces such that every prime ideal of height 1in the coordinate ring [] of is the radical of a principal ideal; if is non singular in codimension 1this means that [] is semifactorial. We give the equations of such surfaces within linear isomorphisms of providing also methods by which one can construct the equations of the surfaces cutting on its curves as set-theoretic complete intersections. Moreover for each of these surfaces we determine the minimum positive number such that every algebraic curve of with multiplicity of intersection , is complete intersection of itself with another surface § 8where the results are summarized). We tackle also the problem of such a classification over algebraically closed fields k different from .
