Nonlinear least square estimation using difference quotient instead of derivative containing different classes of measurements

Using difference quotient instead of derivative, the paper presents the solution method and procedure of the nonlinear least square estimation containing different classes of measurements. In the meantime, the paper shows several practical cases, which indicate the method is very valid and reliable.

APPROACH FOR LAYOUT OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSS STRUCTURES WITH DISCRETE VARIABLES UNDER DYNAMIC STRESS, DISPLACEMENT AND STABILITY CONSTRAINTS

A mathematical model was developed for layout optimization of truss structures with discrete variables subjected to dynamic stress, dynamic displacement and dynamic stability constraints. By using the quasi-static method, the mathematical model of structure optimization under dynamic stress, dynamic displacement and dynamic stability constraints were transformed into one subjected to static stress, displacement and stability constraints. The optimization procedures include two levels, i.e., the topology optimization and the shape optimization. In each level, the comprehensive algorithm was used and the relative difference quotients of two kinds of variables were used to search the optimum solution. A comparison between the optimum results of model with stability constraints and the optimum results of model without stability constraint was given. And that shows the stability constraints have a great effect on the optimum solutions.

ANALYTIC SOLUTIONS OF SYSTEMS OF FUNCTIONAL EQUATIONS

Let r be a given positive number. Denote by D=D r the closed disc in the complex plane C whose center is the origin and radius is r. For any subset K of C and any integer m≥1, write A(D m,K)={f|f∶D m→K is a continuous map, and f|(D m)° is analytic}. For H∈ A(D m,C)(m≥2), f∈A(D,D) and z∈D, write Ψ H(f)(z)=H(z,f(z),...,f m-1(z)). Suppose F,G∈A(D 2n+1,C), and H k,K k∈A(D k,C), k=2,...,n. In this paper, the system of functional equations F(z,f(z),f 2(Ψ H 2(f)(z)),...,f n(Ψ H n(f)(z)),g(z),g 2(Ψ K 2(g)(z)),..., g n(Ψ K n(g)(z)))=0 G(z,f(z),f 2(Ψ H 2(f)(z)),...,f n(Ψ H n(f)(z)),g(z),g 2(Ψ K 2(g)(z)),..., g n(Ψ K n(g)(z)))=0(z∈D) is studied and some conditions for the system of equations to have a solution or a unique solution in A(D,D)×A(D,D) are given.

Existence and Uniqueness of Analytic Solutions of Systems of Iterative Functional Equations

Let r be a given positive number. Denote by D=D r the closed disc in the complex plane C whose center is the origin and radius is r. Write A(D,D)={f: f is a continuous map from D into itself, and f|D ° is analytic}. Suppose G,H: D 2n+1 →C are continuous maps (n≥2), and G|(D 2n+1 ) °, H|(D 2n+1 ) ° are analytic. In this paper, we study the system of iterative functional equationsG(z,f(z),…,f n(z), g(z),…,g n(z))=0, H(z,f(z),…,f n(z), g(z),…,g n(z))=0, for any z∈D,and give some conditions for the system of equations to have a solution or a unique solution in A(D,D) ×A(D,D).

GENERAL INTERPOLATION FORMULAS FOR SPACES OF DISCRETE FUNCTIONS WITH NONUNIFORM MESHES

The unequal meshsteps are unavoidable in general for scientific and engineering computations especially in large Scale computations. The analysis of difference schemes with nonuniform meshes is very rare even by use of fully heuristic methods. For the purpose of the systematic and theoretical study of the finite difference method with nonuniform meshes for the problems of partial differential equations, the general interpolation formulas for the spaces of discrete functions of one index with unequal meshsteps are established in the present work. These formulas give the connected relationships among the norms of various types, such as' the sum of powers of discrete values, the discrete maximum modulo, the discrete Holder and Lipschitz coefficients.
