ADJOINT OPERATOR METHOD AND NORMAL FORMS OF HIGHER ORDER FOR NONLINEAR DYNAMICAL SYSTEM

Normal form theory is a very effective method when we study degenerate bifurcations of nonlinear dynamical systems. In this paper by using adjoint operator method, normal forms of order 3 and 4 for nonlinear dynamical system with nilpotent linear part and Z(2)-asymmetry are computed. According to normal forms obtained, universal unfoldings for some degenerate bifurcation cases of codimension 3 and simple global characterizations, are studied.

Optimal reduction of anthropogenic emissions for air pollution control and the retrieval of emission source from observed pollutants Ⅰ. Application of incomplete adjoint operator

The ultimate solution to anthropogenic air pollution depends on an adjustment and upgrade of industrial and energy structures. Before this process can be completed, reducing the anthropogenic pollutant emissions is an effective measure. This is a problem belonging to "Natural Cybernetics", i.e., the problem of air pollution control should be solved together with the weather prediction; however, this is very complicated. Considering that heavy air pollution usually occurs in stable weather conditions and that the feedbacks between air pollutants and meteorological changes are insufficient, we propose a simplified natural cybernetics method. Here, an off-line air pollution evolution equation is first solved with data from a given anthropogenic emission inventory under the predicted weather conditions, and then, a related "incomplete adjoint problem" is solved to obtain the optimal reduction of anthropogenic emissions. Usually, such solution is sufficient for satisfying the air quality and economical/social requirements. However, a better solution can be obtained by iteration after updating the emission inventory with the reduced anthropogenic emissions. Then, this paper discusses the retrieval of the pollutant emission source with a known spatio-temporal distribution of the pollutant concentrations, and a feasible mathematical method to achieve this is proposed. The retrieval of emission source would also help control air pollution.

Killing Operator for the Kerr Metric

When D: E →F is a linear differential operator of order q between the sections of vector bundles over a manifold X of dimension n, it is defined by a bundle map Φ: Jq(E) →F=F0 that may depend, explicitly or implicitly, on constant parameters a, b, c, ... . A “direct problem” is to find the generating compatibility conditions (CC) in the form of an operator D1: F0 →F1. When D is involutive, that is when the corresponding system Rq = ker (Φ) is involutive, this procedure provides successive first order involutive operators D1, ..., Dn. Though D1 οD = 0 implies ad (D) οad(D1) = 0 by taking the respective adjoint operators, then ad (D) may not generate the CC of ad (D1) and measuring such “gaps” led to introduce extension modules in differential homological algebra. They may also depend on the parameters and such a situation is well known in ordinary or partial control theory. When Rq is not involutive, a standard prolongation/projection (PP) procedure allows in general to find integers r, s such that the image of the projection at order q+r of the prolongation is involutive but it may highly depend on the parameters. However, sometimes the resulting system no longer depends on the parameters and the extension modules do not depend on the parameters because it is known that they do not depend on the differential sequence used for their definition. The purpose of this paper is to study the above problems for the Kerr (m, a), Schwarzschild (m, 0) and Minkowski (0, 0) parameters while computing the dimensions of the inclusions for the respective Killing operators. Other striking motivating examples are also presented.

Bohr Inequality for Multiple Operators

An absolute value equation is established for linear combinations of two operators.When the parameters take special values, the parallelogram law of operator type is given. In addition, the operator equation in literature [3] and its equivalent deformation are obtained.Based on the equivalent deformation of the operator equation and using the properties of conjugate number as well as the operator, an absolute value identity of multiple operators is given by means of mathematical induction. As Corollaries, Bohr inequalities are extended to multiple operators and some related inequalities are reduced to, such as inequalities in [2]and [3].

IMPROVEMENT OF MATRIX REPRESENTATION METHOD IN NORMAL FORM THEORY

In this paper, based on the invariant subspace theory and adjoint operator concept of linear operator, a new matrix representation method is proposed to calculate the normal forms of n order general nonlinear dynamic systems. In the method, there is no need to determine the structure of the class of normal forms in advance. Because the subspace is not related to the dimensions of the system and the order of the normal forms directly, it is determined only by a given vector field. So the normal forms with high orders and dimensions can be calculated by the method without difficulties. In this paper, is used the method for selecting the minimal subspace and solving homological equations in the subspace, the examples show that the method is very effective.

Condensed Galerkin element of degree m for first-order initial-value problem with O(h^(2m+2))super-convergent nodal solutions

A new type of Galerkin finite element for first-order initial-value problems(IVPs)is proposed.Both the trial and test functions employ the same m-degreed polynomials.The adjoint equation is used to eliminate one degree of freedom(DOF)from the test function,and then the so-called condensed test function and its consequent condensed Galerkin element are constructed.It is mathematically proved and numerically verified that the condensed element produces the super-convergent nodal solutions of O(h^(2m+2)),which is equivalent to the order of accuracy by the conventional element of degree m+1.Some related properties are addressed,and typical numerical examples of both linear and nonlinear IVPs of both a single equation and a system of equations are presented to show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed element.

On the Adjoint of Operator Matrices with Unbounded Entries II

Docking control for probe-drogue refueling: An additive-state-decomposition-based output feedback iterative learning control method

Designing a controller for the docking maneuver in Probe-Drogue Refueling(PDR) is an important but challenging task, due to the complex system model and the high precision requirement.In order to overcome the disadvantage of only feedback control, a feedforward control scheme known as Iterative Learning Control(ILC) is adopted in this paper.First, Additive State Decomposition(ASD) is used to address the tight coupling of input saturation, nonlinearity and the property of Non Minimum Phase(NMP) by separating these features into two subsystems(a primary system and a secondary system).After system decomposition, an adjoint-type ILC is applied to the Linear Time-Invariant(LTI) primary system with NMP to achieve entire output trajectory tracking, whereas state feedback is used to stabilize the secondary system with input saturation.The two controllers designed for the two subsystems can be combined to achieve the original control goal of the PDR system.Furthermore, to compensate for the receiverindependent uncertainties, a correction action is proposed by using the terminal docking error,which can lead to a smaller docking error at the docking moment.Simulation tests have been carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control method, which has some advantages over the traditional derivative-type ILC and adjoint-type ILC in the docking control of PDR.

ASYMPTOTIC PROPERTY OF THE TIME-DEPENDENT SOLUTION OF A RELIABILITY MODEL

We discuss a transfer line consisting of a reliable machine, an unreliable machine and a storage buffer. This transfer line can be described by a group of partial differential equations with integral boundary conditions. First we show that the operator corresponding to these equations generates a positive contraction C0-semigroup T(t), and prove that T(t) is a quasi-compact operator. Next we verify that 0 is an eigenvalue of this operator and its adjoint operator with geometric multiplicity one. Last, by using the above results we obtain that the time-dependent solution of these equations converges strongly to their steady-state solution.

New computational treatment of optical wave propagation in lossy waveguides

In this paper, the optical wave propagation in lossy waveguides is described by the Helmholtz equation with the complex refractive-index, and the Chebyshev pseudospectral method is used to discretize the transverse operator of the equation. Meanwhile, an operator marching method, a one-way re-formulation based on the Dirichlet- to-Neumann （DtN） map, is improved to solve the equation. NumericM examples show that our treatment is more efficient.

Optimal reduction of anthropogenic emissions for air pollution control and the retrieval of emission source from observed pollutantsⅢ:Emission source inversion using a double correction iterative method

Using the incomplete adjoint operator method in part I of this series of papers,the total emission source S can be retrieved from the pollutant concentrationsρob obtained from the air pollution monitoring network.This paper studies the problem of retrieving anthropogenic emission sources from S.Assuming that the natural source Sn is known,and as the internal source Sc due to chemical reactions is a function of pollutant concentrations,if the chemical reaction equations are complete and the parameters are accurate,Sc can be calculated directly fromρob,and then Sa can be obtained from S.However,if the chemical reaction parameters(denoted asγ)are insufficiently accurate,bothγand Sc should be corrected.This article proposes a"double correction iterative method"to retrieve Sc and correctγand proves that this iterative method converges.
