Necessary conditions for multistationarity in discrete dynamical systems

R. Thomas conjectured, 20 years ago, that the presence of a positive circuit in the interaction graph of a dynamical system is a necessary condition for the presence of several stable states. Recently, E. Remy et al. stated and proved the conjecture for Boolean dynamical systems. Using a similar approach, we generalize the result to discrete dynamical systems, and by focusing on the asynchronous dynamics that R. Thomas used in the course of his analysis of genetic networks, we obtain a more general variant of R. Thomas’ conjecture. In this way, we get a necessary condition for genetic networks to lead to differentiation.

Memory management optimization problems for integrated circuit simulators

In hardware design, it is necessary to simulate the anticipated behavior of the integrated circuit before it is actually cast in silicon. As simulation procedures are long due to the great number of tests to be performed, optimization of the simulation code is of prime importance. This paper describes two mathematical models for the minimization of the memory access times for a cycle-based simulator.An integrated circuit being viewed as a directed acyclic graph, the problem consists in building a graph order on the vertices, compatible with the relation order induced by the graph, in order to minimize a cost function that represents the memory access time. For both proposed cost functions, we show that the corresponding problems are NP-complete. However, we show that the special cases where the graphs are in-trees or out-trees can be solved in polynomial time.     

Finite element error estimates for non-linear elliptic equations of monotone type

Summary In this paper we shall consider the application of the finite element method to a class of second order elliptic boundary value problems of divergence form and with gradient nonlinearity in the principal coefficient, and the derivation of error estimates for the finite element approximations. Such problems arise in many practical situations — for example, in shock-free airfoil design, seepage through coarse grained porous media, and in some glaciological problems. By making use of certain properties of the nonlinear coefficients, we shall demonstrate that the variational formulations associated with these boundary value problems are well-posed. We shall also prove that the abstract operators accompanying such problems satisfy certain continuity and monotonicity inequalities. With the aid of these inequalities and some standard results from approximation theory, we show how one may derive error estimates for the finite element approximations in the energy norm.

Continuous time collocation methods for Volterra-Fredholm integral equations

Optimality relationships forp-cyclic SOR

Summary The optimality question for blockp-cyclic SOR iterations discussed in Young and Varga is answered under natural conditions on the spectrum of the block Jacobi matrix. In particular, it is shown that repartitioning a blockp-cyclic matrix into a blockq-cyclic form,q, results in asymptotically faster SOR convergence for the same amount of work per iteration. As a consequence block 2-cyclic SOR is optimal under these conditions.Research supported in part by the US Air Force under Grant no. AFOSR-88-0285 and the National Science Foundation under grant no.
