Sinc-Galerkin method for solving linear sixth-order boundary-value problems

There are few techniques available to numerically solve sixth-order boundary-value problems with two-point boundary conditions. In this paper we show that the Sinc-Galerkin method is a very effective tool in numerically solving such problems. The method is then tested on examples with homogeneous and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions and a comparison with the modified decomposition method is made. It is shown that the Sinc-Galerkin method yields better results.

     

Finite-Dimensional Approximations for Scattering Theory Operators in the Wave-Packet Representation

We consider some types of packet discretization for continuous spectra in quantum scattering problems. As we previously showed, this discretization leads to a convenient finite-dimensional (i.e., matrix) approximation for integral operators in the scattering theory and allows reducing the solution of singular integral equations connected with the scattering theory to some suitable purely algebraic equations on an analytic basis. All singularities are explicitly singled out. Our primary emphasis is on realizing the method practically.     

Global Solution of Optimization Problems with Parameter-Embedded Linear Dynamic Systems

This paper develops a theory for the global solution of nonconvex optimization problems with parameter-embedded linear dynamic systems. A quite general problem formulation is introduced and a solution is shown to exists. A convexity theory for integrals is then developed to construct convex relaxations for utilization in a branch-and-bound framework to calculate a global minimum. Interval analysis is employed to generate bounds on the state variables implied by the bounds on the embedded parameters. These bounds, along with basic integration theory, are used to prove convergence of the branch-and-bound algorithm to the global minimum of the optimization problem. The implementation of the algorithm is then considered and several numerical case studies are examined thoroughly

Dimethylamino-substituted 7H-Benzo[de]pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolin-7-ones and Their Behavior under Vilsmeier-Haack Conditions

The behavior of dimethylamino-substituted 7H-benzo[de]pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-ones, synthesized for the first time, under conditions of the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. It has been shown that, on heating with POCl₃ and DMF, they are converted by electrophilic substitution at the position ortho to the dimethylamino group, followed by cyclization of the iminium adduct to a quinazolinium salt. When an acetyl group is present, the Arnold reaction, leading to the formation of a chloroaryl, accompanies the heterocyclization. The rates and proportion of the reaction products depend on the position of the dimethyl groups relative to the pyrazole ring.     

Completion of Modules over Serial, Right Noetherian Rings

Linear topology defined on an arbitrary right module over a right Noetherian serial ring R enables one to describe the reduced, pure injective R-modules as modules that are complete in this topology. With the use of the completion of modules, the pure injective envelope of any right R-module is constructed. Bibliography: 8 titles.     

Computation of the Morse Spectrum

The Morse spectrum is a limit set of Lyapunov exponents of periodic pseudo-trajectories. This notion is especially important in the case where a dynamical system has infinitely many periodic trajectories of large period. A method for estimating the Morse spectrum was suggested by the first author in J. Math. Anal. Appl., 252 (2000). This method is based on ideas of symbolic dynamics which reduces the study of a dynamical system to the study of a certain graph, called a symbolic image. Within the framework of this method, the computation of the Morse spectrum is connected with searching simple closed paths and extracting contours with suitable characteristics. However, under iterations of the symbolic image, the number of such paths sharply increases, which leads to huge expenses of memory and time. We suggest an algorithm for constructing contours with the maximal and minimal mean values. This algorithm is based on a special version of the simplex method. Numerical tests are also described.

Points Beneath a Hyperbola and the Circle Problem. A Spectral Approach

This is the first introductory part of a paper in which a spectral idea is presented for the solution of the circle problem and the problem on the points beneath a hyperbola. In the second and third parts, technical details of such a solution will be given. Bibliography: 4 titles.
