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.

Modelling of Energy Storage Photonic Medium by Wavelength-Based Multivariable Second-Order Differential Equation

Wavelength-dependent mathematical modelling of the differential energy change of a photon has been performed inside a proposed hypothetical optical medium.The existence of this medium demands certain mathematical constraints,which have been derived in detail.Using reverse modelling,a medium satisfying the derived conditions is proven to store energy as the photon propagates from the entry to exit point.A single photon with a given intensity is considered in the analysis and hypothesized to possess a definite non-zero probability of maintaining its energy and velocity functions analytic inside the proposed optical medium,despite scattering,absorption,fluorescence,heat generation,and other nonlinear mechanisms.The energy and velocity functions are thus singly and doubly differentiable with respect to wavelength.The solution of the resulting second-order differential equation in two variables proves that energy storage or energy flotation occurs inside a medium with a refractive index satisfying the described mathematical constraints.The minimum-value-normalized refractive index profiles of the modelled optical medium for transformed wavelengths both inside the medium and for vacuum have been derived.Mathematical proofs,design equations,and detailed numerical analyses are presented in the paper.

Approximate Controllability of Second-Order Neutral Stochastic Differential Equations with Infinite Delay and Poisson Jumps

The modelling of risky asset by stochastic processes with continuous paths, based on Brow- nian motions, suffers from several defects. First, the path continuity assumption does not seem reason- able in view of the possibility of sudden price variations （jumps） resulting of market crashes. A solution is to use stochastic processes with jumps, that will account for sudden variations of the asset prices. On the other hand, such jump models are generally based on the Poisson random measure. Many popular economic and financial models described by stochastic differential equations with Poisson jumps. This paper deals with the approximate controllability of a class of second-order neutral stochastic differential equations with infinite delay and Poisson jumps. By using the cosine family of operators, stochastic analysis techniques, a new set of sufficient conditions are derived for the approximate controllability of the above control system. An example is provided to illustrate the obtained theory.

Fractional Order Modeling of Human Operator Behavior with Second Order Controlled Plant and Experiment Research

Modeling human operator's dynamics plays a very important role in the manual closed-loop control system, and it is an active research area for several decades. Based on the characteristics of human brain and behavior, a new kind of fractional order mathematical model for human operator in single-input single-output (SISO) systems is proposed. Compared with the traditional models based on the commonly used quasilinear transfer function method or the optimal control theory method, the proposed fractional order model has simpler structure with only few parameters, and each parameter has explicit physical meanings. The actual data and experiment results with the second-order controlled plant illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

Differential Quadrature Method for Steady Flow of an Incompressible Second-Order Viscoelastic Fluid and Heat Transfer Model

The two-dimensional steady flow of an incompressible second-order viscoelastic fluid between two parallel plates was studied in terms of vorticity, the stream function and temperature equations. The governing equations were expanded with respect to a snmll parameter to get the zeroth- and first-order approximate equations. By using the differenl2al quadrature method with only a few grid points, the high-accurate numerical results were obtained.

Second-Order Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology for Computing Exactly Response Sensitivities to Uncertain Parameters and Boundaries of Linear Systems: Mathematical Framework

This work presents the “Second-Order Comprehensive Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology (2nd-CASAM)” for the efficient and exact computation of 1st- and 2nd-order response sensitivities to uncertain parameters and domain boundaries of linear systems. The model’s response (i.e., model result of interest) is a generic nonlinear function of the model’s forward and adjoint state functions, and also depends on the imprecisely known boundaries and model parameters. In the practically important particular case when the response is a scalar-valued functional of the forward and adjoint state functions characterizing a model comprising N parameters, the 2nd-CASAM requires a single large-scale computation using the First-Level Adjoint Sensitivity System (1st-LASS) for obtaining all of the first-order response sensitivities, and at most N large-scale computations using the Second-Level Adjoint Sensitivity System (2nd-LASS) for obtaining exactly all of the second-order response sensitivities. In contradistinction, forward other methods would require (N2/2 + 3 N/2) large-scale computations for obtaining all of the first- and second-order sensitivities. This work also shows that constructing and solving the 2nd-LASS requires very little additional effort beyond the construction of the 1st-LASS needed for computing the first-order sensitivities. Solving the equations underlying the 1st-LASS and 2nd-LASS requires the same computational solvers as needed for solving (i.e., “inverting”) either the forward or the adjoint linear operators underlying the initial model. Therefore, the same computer software and “solvers” used for solving the original system of equations can also be used for solving the 1st-LASS and the 2nd-LASS. Since neither the 1st-LASS nor the 2nd-LASS involves any differentials of the operators underlying the original system, the 1st-LASS is designated as a “first-level” (as opposed to a “first-order”) adjoint sensitivity system, while the 2nd-LASS is designated as a “second-level” (rather than a “second-order”) adjoint sensitivity system. Mixed second-order response sensitivities involving boundary parameters may arise from all source terms of the 2nd-LASS that involve the imprecisely known boundary parameters. Notably, the 2nd-LASS encompasses an automatic, inherent, and independent “solution verification” mechanism of the correctness and accuracy of the 2nd-level adjoint functions needed for the efficient and exact computation of the second-order sensitivities.

Stationary Probability Vectors of the Second Order Markov Chains

The stationary probability vectors of a second order Markov chain on the(n-1)-dimensional standard simplex are considered.In 2015,Li and Zhang gave a characterization of the second order Markov chain such that every vector in the simplex is a stationary vector.A modification of the characterization is presented in the paper.Some sufficient conditions are derived for any facet of the simplex such that every vector of the facet is a stationary vector.
