Integral conditions on the asymptotic stability for the damped linear oscillator with small damping

The equation is considered under the assumption . It is proved that is sufficient for the asymptotic stability of , and is best possible here. This will be a consequence of a general result on the intermittent damping, which means that is controlled only on a sequence of non-overlapping intervals.

The advantage of our method is its straightforwardness and effectiveness, which is suitable for the above equation, where g(u) need not be restricted to an odd function of u, provided that the reduced equation, corresponding to =0, has a periodic solution. A specific example is presented to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of our 09 method by comparing our results with numerical ones, which are in good agreement with each other even for relatively large .     

Analysis and simulation on the performance of a gyro-penitron amplifier

A cylindrical waveguide gyro-peniotron amplifier is analysed theoretically in this paper. By a ballistic method and directly using the energy conservation in the beam-wave system, a set of interaction equations for the cylindrical waveguide gyro-peniotron amplifier is derived. Computer simulation shows that under defined conditions an interaction efficiency of 47%, an output power of 240kW at a gain of 22. 5 dB and a 3 dB-instantaneous bandwidth of 1. 9% for a central frequency of 35GHz, TE₀₃ mode gyro-peniotron amplifier could be achieved. The influence of the operation parameters on the amplifier performance is also presented.     

A class of nonlinear relativistic partial differential equations in elementary particle theory

In mathematical approaches to elementary particle theory, the equation [² - ²/t²]=m² ;+g ³ has been of interest [1,2]; it describes a quartically self-coupled neutral scalar meson field. This paper applies the decomposition method [3-6] to obtain accurate non-perturbative timedevelopment of the field for this equation, or variations involving other nonlinear interactions, without the use of cutoff functions or truncations.

Primal-dual interior point approach for computingl 1-solutions andl ∞-solutions of overdetermined linear systems

This paper concerns solving an overdetermined linear systemA ^T x=b in the leastl ₁-norm orl -norm sense, whereA ^m×n ,m<n. We show that the primal-dual interior point approach for linear programming can be applied, in an effective manner, to linear programming versions of thel ₁ andl -problems. The resulting algorithms are simple to implement and can attain quadratic or superlinear convergence rate. At each iteration, the algorithms must solve a linear system with anm×m positive-definite coefficient matrix of the formADA ^T , whereD is a positive diagonal matrix. The preliminary numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithms offer considerable promise.This research was supported in part by Grants NSF DMS-91-02761 and DOE DE-FG05-91-ER25100.     

Estimating the complexity of a class of path-following methods for solving linear programs by curvature integrals

In this paper we study a particular class of primal-dual path-following methods which try to follow a trajectory of interior feasible solutions in primal-dual space toward an optimal solution to the primal and dual problem. The methods investigated are so-called first-order methods: each iteration consists of a long step along the tangent of the trajectory, followed by explicit recentering steps to get close to the trajectory again. It is shown that the complexity of these methods, which can be measured by the number of points close to the trajectory which have to be computed in order to achieve a desired gain in accuracy, is bounded by an integral along the trajectory. The integrand is a suitably weighted measure of the second derivative of the trajectory with respect to a distinguished path parameter, so the integral may be loosely called a curvature integral.     

On the Landau-Teller approximation for energy exchanges with fast degrees of freedom

We revisit the Landau-Teller heuristic approach to adiabatic invariants and, following Rapp, use it to investigate the energy exchanges between the different degrees of freedom, in simple Hamiltonian systems describing the collision of fast rotating or vibrating molecules with a fixed wall. We critically compare the theoretical results with particularly accurate numerical computations (quite small energy exchanges, namely of one part over 10³⁰, are measured).     

Convergence of splitting and Newton methods for complementarity problems: An application of some sensitivity results

This paper is concerned with two well-known families of iterative methods for solving the linear and nonlinear complementarity problems. For the linear complementarity problem, we consider the class of matrix splitting methods and establish, under a finiteness assumption on the number of solutions, a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of the sequence of iterates produced. A rate of convergence result for this class of methods is also derived under a stability assumption on the limit solution. For the nonlinear complementarity problem, we establish the convergence of the Newton method under the assumption of a pseudo-regular solution which generalizes Robinson's concept of a strongly regular solution. In both instances, the convergence proofs rely on a common sensitivity result of the linear complementarity problem under perturbation.This work was based on research supported by the National Science Foundation under grant ECS-8717968.     

On the convergence of the exponential multiplier method for convex programming

In this paper, we analyze the exponential method of multipliers for convex constrained minimization problems, which operates like the usual Augmented Lagrangian method, except that it uses an exponential penalty function in place of the usual quadratic. We also analyze a dual counterpart, the entropy minimization algorithm, which operates like the proximal minimization algorithm, except that it uses a logarithmic/entropy proximal term in place of a quadratic. We strengthen substantially the available convergence results for these methods, and we derive the convergence rate of these methods when applied to linear programs.Research supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant DDM-8903385, and the Army Research Office under Grant DAAL03-86-K-0171.
