Continuous modified Newton’s-type method for nonlinear operator equations

A nonlinear operator equation F(x)=0, F:H→H, in a Hilbert space is considered. Continuous Newton’s-type procedures based on a construction of a dynamical system with the trajectory starting at some initial point x ₀ and becoming asymptotically close to a solution of F(x)=0 as t→+∞ are discussed. Well-posed and ill-posed problems are investigated.

The Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP): Variants,modeling issues and algorithms

The Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) consists of designing vehicle routes and schedules for n users who specify pick-up and drop-off requests between origins and destinations. The aim is to plan a set of m minimum cost vehicle routes capable of accommodating as many users as possible, under a set of constraints. The most common example arises in door-to-door transportation for elderly or disabled people. The purpose of this article is to review the scientific literature on the DARP. The main features of the problem are described and classified and some modeling issues are discussed. A summary of the most important algorithms is provided.AMS classification: 90B06, 90C27, 90C59     

Exposed points and extremal problems in H1 on a bidisc

An essential bounded function ? gives a continuous linear functional on the Hardy space H¹ on the bitorus. In this paper, we consider extremal problems on H¹ when ? is a rational function, ? is a product of one variable functions or ? = |f|/f for some outer function f in H¹ such that f(z, w) has a good property with respect to w for a.e. z.

Modelling and optimal control of coupled structural acoustic systems with piezoelectric elements

We construct a model of a shell with piezoelectric elements (patches) that take into account the mutual influence of deformations and electric fields. Coupled problems for the shell with piezoelectric patches and an acoustic field, are studied and results on the existence and the uniqueness are obtained. For this system we consider an optimal control problem on noise attenuation and obtain results on the existence, the uniqueness, necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality.

A note on a characterization of P-matrices

In this note we show that the characterization results for P-matrices due to K.G. Murty and A. Tamir which state that a given square matrixM of ordern is a P-matrix if and only if the linear complementarity problem (q, M) has a unique solution for allq in a specified finite subset of ⁿ depending onM are incorrect whenn > 3.Research supported by Dr. K.S.

Computation of the quasi-stationary distributions inM(n)/GI/1/K andGI/M(n)/1/K queues

In this paper, we provide numerical means to compute the quasi-stationary (QS) distributions inM/GI/1/K queues with state-dependent arrivals andGI/M/1/K queues with state-dependent services. These queues are described as finite quasi-birth-death processes by approximating the general distributions in terms of phase-type distributions. Then, we reduce the problem of obtaining the QS distribution to determining the Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue of some Hessenberg matrix. Based on these arguments, we develop a numerical algorithm to compute the QS distributions. The doubly-limiting conditional distribution is also obtained by following this approach. Since the results obtained are free of phase-type representations, they are applicable for general distributions. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the power of our method.     

THEORY AND COMPUTATION OF SECONDARY BIFURCATIONS NEAR A DOUBLE EIGENVALUE

This paper deals with secondary bifurcations near a double eigenvalue of a nonlinear equation with two parameters. Utilizing symmetries (or more generally, equivariances ) and introducing two new parameters, we give some extended systems so that the double singular points, secondary bifurcation points and initial secondary branches respectively become their regular solutions. The methods in this paper not only give more general conditions of secondary bifurcation but also avoid the adjacent singularities of existing extended systems for computing the simple bifurcation points on non-trivial solution branches A numerical example is presented, showing the effectiveness of our methods.
