Existence theorems for lagrange control problems with unbounded time domain

Existence theorems are proved for usual Lagrange control systems, in which the time domain is unbounded. As usual in Lagrange problems, the cost functional is an improper integral, the state equation is a system of ordinary differential equations, with assigned boundary conditions, and constraints may be imposed on the values of the state and control variables. It is shown that the boundary conditions at infinity require a particular analysis. Problems of this form can be found in econometrics (e.g., infinite-horizon economic models) and operations research (e.g., search problems).The author wishes to thank Professor L.

The Newton modified barrier method for QP problems

The Modified Barrier Functions (MBF) have elements of both Classical Lagrangians (CL) and Classical Barrier Functions (CBF). The MBF methods find an unconstrained minimizer of some smooth barrier function in primal space and then update the Lagrange multipliers, while the barrier parameter either remains fixed or can be updated at each step. The numerical realization of the MBF method leads to the Newton MBF method, where the primal minimizer is found by using Newton's method. This minimizer is then used to update the Lagrange multipliers. In this paper, we examine the Newton MBF method for the Quadratic Programming (QP) problem. It will be shown that under standard second-order optimality conditions, there is a ball around the primal solution and a cut cone in the dual space such that for a set of Lagrange multipliers in this cut cone, the method converges quadratically to the primal minimizer from any point in the aforementioned ball, and continues, to do so after each Lagrange multiplier update. The Lagrange multipliers remain within the cut cone and converge linearly to their optimal values. Any point in this ball will be called a hot start. Starting at such a hot start, at mostO(In In ^-1) Newton steps are sufficient to perform the primal minimization which is necessary for the Lagrange multiplier update. Here, >0 is the desired accuracy. Because of the linear convergence of the Lagrange multipliers, this means that onlyO(In ^-1)O(In In ^-1) Newton steps are required to reach an -approximation to the solution from any hot start. In order to reach the hot start, one has to perform Newton steps, wherem characterizes the size of the problem andC>0 is the condition number of the QP problem. This condition number will be characterized explicitly in terms of key parameters of the QP problem, which in turn depend on the input data and the size of the problem.Partially supported by NASA Grant NAG3-1397 and National Science Foundation Grant DMS-9403218.     

Regular points for Lagrange interpolation on the unit disk

A set of points on the unit disk of the Euclidean plane is given, which admits unique Lagrange interpolation. The points have rotational symmetry and they form an example of natural lattices of Chung and Yao [2]. Properties of Lagrange interpolation with respect to these points are studied.Work done when visiting the University of Oregon at Eugene, Oregon.Supported by National Science Foundation under Grant No. 9302721.     

Variational iteration method for solving compressible Euler equations

This paper applies the variational iteration method to obtain approximate analytic solutions of compressible Euler equations in gas dynamics.This method is based on the use of Lagrange multiplier for identification of optimal values of parameters in a functional.Using this method,a rapid convergent sequence is produced which converges to the exact solutions of the problem.Numerical results and comparison with other two numerical solutions verify that this method is very convenient and efficient.

Exact invariants and adiabatic invariants of the singular Lagrange system

Based on the theory of symmetries and conserved quantities of the singular Lagrange system, the perturbations to the symmetries and adiabatic invariants of the singular Lagrange systems are discussed. Firstly, the concept of higher-order adiabatic invariants of the singular Lagrange system is proposed. Then, the conditions for the existence of the exact invariants and adiabatic invariants are proved, and their forms are given. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate these results.
