Analysis of chaos behaviors of a bistable piezoelectric cantilever power generation system by the second-order Melnikov function

By applying the second order Melnikov function, the chaos behaviors of a bistable piezoelectric cantilever power generation system are analyzed. Firstly, the conditions for emerging chaos of the system are derived by the second order Melnikov function. Secondly, the effects of each item in chaos threshold expression are analyzed. The excitation frequency and resistance values, which have the most influence on chaos threshold value, are found. The result from the second order Melnikov function is more accurate compared with that from the first order Melnikov function. Finally, the attraction basins of large amplitude motions under different exciting frequency, exciting amplitude, and resistance parameters are given.

Lattice Green's Function for Infinite Square Lattice in the Second Nearest-Neighbour Interaction Approximation

In dealing with the square lattice model,we replace the traditionally needed Born-Von Karmann periodic boundary condition with additional Hamiltonian terms to make up a ring lattice.In doing so,the lattice Green's function of an infinite square lattice in the second nearest-neighbour interaction approximation can be derived by means of the matrix Green's function method.It is shown that the density of states may change when the second nearest-neighbour interaction is turned on.

Probabilistic density function estimation of geotechnical shear strength parameters using the second Chebyshev orthogonal polynomial

A method to estimate the probabilistic density function （PDF） of shear strength parameters was proposed. The second Chebyshev orthogonal polynomial（SCOP） combined with sample moments （the origin moments） was used to approximate the PDF of parameters. X^2 test was adopted to verify the availability of the method. It is distribution-free because no classical theoretical distributions were assumed in advance and the inference result provides a universal form of probability density curves. Six most commonly-used theoretical distributions named normal, lognormal, extreme value Ⅰ , gama, beta and Weibull distributions were used to verify SCOP method. An example from the observed data of cohesion c of a kind of silt clay was presented for illustrative purpose. The results show that the acceptance levels in SCOP are all smaller than those in the classical finite comparative method and the SCOP function is more accurate and effective in the reliability analysis of geotechnical engineering.

Parametric Approach for the Normal Luenberger Function Observer Design in Second-order Descriptor Linear Systems

In this paper, the normal Luenberger function observer design for second-order descriptor linear systems is considered. It is shown that the main procedure of the design is to solve a so-called second-order generalized Sylvester-observer matrix equation. Based on an explicit parametric solution to this equation, a parametric solution to the normal Luenberger function observer design problem is given. The design degrees of freedom presented by explicit parameters can be further utilized to achieve some additional design requirements.

α-times Integrated Regularized Cosine Functions and Second Order Abstract Cauchy Problems

In this paper, α-times integrated C-regularized cosine functions and mild α-times integrated C-existence families of second order are introduced. Equivalences are proved among α-times integrated C-regularized cosine function for a linear operator A, C-wellposed of (α+1)-times abstract Cauchy problem and mild a -times integrated C-existence family of second order for A when the commutable condition is satisfied. In addition, if A = C-1AC, they are also equivalent to A generating the α -times integrated C-regularized cosine function. The characterization of an exponentially bounded mild α -times integrated C-existence family of second order is given out in terms of a Laplace transform.

Some Results on the Space of Bounded Second Variation Functions in the Sense of Shiba

In this paper, we study the structure of the space of functions of bounded second variation in the sense of Shiba;an integral representation theorem is also proved and necessary conditions are given for that the space be closed under composition of functions. Another significant result is the proof that this space of bounded second variation in the sense of Shiba is a Banach algebra, which is not immediate as it happens in other spaces of generalized bounded variation.

Design of Luenberger function observer with disturbance decoupling for matrix second-order linear systems-a parametric approach

A simple method for disturbance decoupling for matrix second-order linear systems is proposed directly in matrix second-order framework via Luenberger function observers based on complete parametric eigenstructure assignment. By introducing the H2 norm of the transfer function from disturbance to estimation error, sufficient and necessary conditions for disturbance decoupling in matrix second-order linear systems are established and are arranged into constraints on the design parameters via Luenberger function observers in terms of the closed-loop eigenvalues and the group of design parameters provided by the eigenstructure assignment approach. Therefore, the disturbance decoupling problem is converted into an eigenstructure assignment problem with extra parameter constraints. A simple example is investigated to show the effect and simplicity of the approach.

An Attempt to Make Non-Elementary Functions That Are Giving Solutions to Some Second-Order Nonlinear Autonomous ODEs

In this paper, we define an exponential function whose exponent is the product of a real number and the upper limit of integration in a non-elementary integral that can be arbitrary. We are using Abel’s methods, described by Armitage and Eberlein. The key is to start with a non-elementary integral function, differentiating and inverting, and then define a set of functions. Differentiating these functions twice give second-order nonlinear ODEs that have the defined set of functions as solutions.

Predictors of graft function and survival in second kidney transplantation: A single center experience

BACKGROUND The increasing kidney retransplantation rate has created a parallel field of research,including the risk factors and outcomes of this advanced form of renal replacement therapy.The presentation of experiences from different kidney transplantation centers may help enrich the literature on kidney retransplantation,as a specific topic in the field of kidney transplantation.AIM To identify the risk factors affecting primary graft function and graft survival rates after second kidney transplantation(SKT).METHODS The records of SKT cases performed between January 1977 and December 2014 at a European tertiary-level kidney transplantation center were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.Beside the descriptive characteristics,the survivals of patients and both the first and second grafts were described using Kaplan-Meier curves.In addition,Kaplan-Meier analyses were also used to estimate the survival probabilities at 1,3,5,and 10 post-operative years,as well as at the longest followup duration available.Moreover,bivariate associations between various predictors and the categorical outcomes were assessed,using the suitable biostatistical tests,according to the predictor type.RESULTS Out of 1861 cases of kidney transplantation,only 48 cases with SKT were eligible for studying,including 33 men and 15 women with a mean age of 42.1±13 years.The primary non-function(PNF)graft occurred in five patients(10.4%).In bivariate analyses,a high body mass index(P=0.009)and first graft loss due to acute rejection(P=0.025)were the only significant predictors of PNF graft.The second graft survival was reduced by delayed graft function in the first(P=0.008)and second(P<0.001)grafts.However,the effect of acute rejection within the first year after the first transplant did not reach the threshold of significance(P=0.053).The mean follow-up period was 59.8±48.6 mo.Censored graft/patient survival rates at 1,3,5 and 10 years were 90.5%/97.9%,79.9%/95.6%,73.7%/91.9%,and 51.6%/83.0%,respectively.CONCLUSION Non-immediate recovery modes of the first and second graft functions were significantly associated with unfavorable second graft survival rates.Patient and graft survival rates of SKT were similar to those of the first kidney transplantation.

Generating functions for powers of second-order recurrence sequences

For the sequences satisfying the recurrence relation of the second order,the generating functions for the products of the powers of these sequences are established.This study was from Carlita and Riordan who began a study on closed form of generating functions for powers of second-order recurrence sequences.This investigation was completed by Stnica.Inspired by the recent work of Istva＇n about the non-closed generating functions of the products of the powers of the second-order sequences,the authors give several extensions of Istva＇n＇s results in this paper.

Second-Order Duality for Continuous Programming Containing Support Functions

A second-order dual problem is formulated for a class of continuous programming problem in which both objective and constrained functions contain support functions, hence it is nondifferentiable. Under second-order invexity and second-order pseudoinvexity, weak, strong and converse duality theorems are established for this pair of dual problems. Special cases are deduced and a pair of dual continuous problems with natural boundary values is constructed. A close relationship between duality results of our problems and those of the corresponding (static) nonlinear programming problem with support functions is briefly outlined.

We are using Abel’s methods, described by Armitage and Eberlein. We will study some of the second-order nonlinear ODEs, especially those that exhibit limit cycles, and systems of nonlinear ODEs that these functions are giving solutions to.

In this paper, we define a group of solutions x(t) that are sine and cosine to the upper limit of integration in a non-elementary integral that can be arbitrary. We will also define a group of solutions x(t) that are equal to the amplitude. This is a generalized amplitude function. We are using Abel’s methods, described by Armitage and Eberlein. And finally, we define an exponential function whose exponent is the product of a complex number and the upper limit of integration in a non-elementary integral that can be arbitrary. At least three groups of non-elementary functions are special cases of this complex function.

Six New Sets of the Non-Elementary Jef-Family-Functions that Are Giving Solutions to Some Second-Order Nonlinear Autonomous ODEs

In this paper, we define some new sets of non-elementary functions in a group of solutions x(t) that are sine and cosine to the upper limit of integration in a non-elementary integral that can be arbitrary. We are using Abel’s methods, described by Armitage and Eberlein. The key is to start with a non-elementary integral function, differentiating and inverting, and then define a set of three functions that belong together. Differentiating these functions twice gives second-order nonlinear ODEs that have the defined set of functions as solutions. We will study some of the second-order nonlinear ODEs, especially those that exhibit limit cycles. Using the methods described in this paper, it is possible to define many other sets of non-elementary functions that are giving solutions to some second-order nonlinear autonomous ODEs.

Subspaces for weak mild solutions of the second order abstract differential equation

The topic on the subspaces for the polynomially or exponentially bounded weak mild solutions of the following abstract Cauchy problem d^2/（dr^2）u（t,x）=Au（t,x）;u（0,x）=x,d/（dt）u（0,x）=0,x∈X is studied, where A is a closed operator on Banach space X. The case that the problem is ill-posed is treated, and two subspaces Y（A, k） and H（A, ω） are introduced. Y（A, k） is the set of all x in X for which the second order abstract differential equation has a weak mild solution v（ t, x） such that ess sup{（1＋t）^-k｜d/（dt）〈v（t,x）,x^＊〉｜：t≥0,x^＊∈X^＊,｜x^＊‖≤1}〈＋∞. H（A, ω） is the set of all x in X for which the second order abstract differential equation has a weak mild solution v（t,x）such that ess sup{e^-ωl｜d/（dt）〈v（t,x）,x^＊）｜：t≥0,x^＊∈X^＊,‖x^＊‖≤1}〈＋∞. The following conclusions are proved that Y（A, k） and H（A, ω） are Banach spaces, and both are continuously embedded in X; the restriction operator A ｜ Y（A,k） generates a once-integrated cosine operator family { C（t） }t≥0 such that limh→0＋^-1/h‖C（t＋h）-C（t）‖Y（A,k）≤M（1＋t）^k,arbitary t≥0; the restriction operator A ｜H（A,ω） generates a once- integrated cosine operator family {C（t）}t≥0 such that limh→0＋^-1/h‖C（t＋h）-C（t）‖H（A,ω）≤≤Me^ωt,arbitary t≥0.
