A large-range convergence iterative method for solving a nonlinear functional equation

The existence and representation of the exact solution are given for a nonlinear functional equation in the reproducing kernel space. For a numerical computation, we present a large-range convergence iterative method for solving the nonlinear functional equation. In the iterative method, the convergent condition is simple and the convergence is irrespective to the choice of the initial function. It is worthy to note that the presented method can be generalized to solve other nonlinear operator equations.

Tool Condition Monitoring Based on Nonlinear Output Frequency Response Functions and Multivariate Control Chart

Tool condition monitoring(TCM)is a key technology for intelligent manufacturing.The objective is to monitor the tool operation status and detect tool breakage so that the tool can be changed in time to avoid significant damage to workpieces and reduce manufacturing costs.Recently,an innovative TCM approach based on sensor data modelling and model frequency analysis has been proposed.Different from traditional signal feature-based monitoring,the data from sensors are utilized to build a dynamic process model.Then,the nonlinear output frequency response functions,a concept which extends the linear system frequency response function to the nonlinear case,over the frequency range of the tooth passing frequency of the machining process are extracted to reveal tool health conditions.In order to extend the novel sensor data modelling and model frequency analysis to unsupervised condition monitoring of cutting tools,in the present study,a multivariate control chart is proposed for TCM based on the frequency domain properties of machining processes derived from the innovative sensor data modelling and model frequency analysis.The feature dimension is reduced by principal component analysis first.Then the moving average strategy is exploited to generate monitoring variables and overcome the effects of noises.The milling experiments of titanium alloys are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach in detecting excessive flank wear of solid carbide end mills.The results demonstrate the advantages of the new approach over conventional TCM techniques and its potential in industrial applications.

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.

On the constructions of constant-composition codes from perfect nonlinear functions

A new construction of constant-composition codes based on all known perfect nonlinear functions from Fqm to itself is presented, which provides a kind of unified constructions of constant-composition codes based on all known perfect nonlinear functions from F qm to itself.It is proved that the new constant-composition codes are optimal with respect to the Luo-Fu-Vinck-Chen bound, when m is an odd positive integer greater than 1.Finally, we point out that two constructions of constant-composition codes, proposed by Ding Cunsheng et al.in 2005, are equivalent to two special types of the new constant-composition codes.

Subfield Codes of Linear Codes from Perfect Nonlinear Functions and Their Duals

Let F_(p)^(m) be a finite field with p^(m) elements,where p is an odd prime and m is a positive integer.Recently,[17]and[35]determined the weight distributions of subfield codes with the form C f={((T r(a f(x)+b x)+c)_(x∈F_(p)^(m)),T r(a)):a,b∈F_(p)^(m),c∈F_(p)}for f(x)=x^(2) and f(x)=x p k+1,respectively,where Tr(⋅)is the trace function from F_(p)^(m) to F_(p),and k is a nonnegative integer.In this paper,we further investigate the subfield code C f for f(x)being a known perfect nonlinear function over F_(p)^(m) and generalize some results in[17,35].The weight distributions of the constructed codes are determined by applying the theory of quadratic forms and the properties of perfect nonlinear functions over finite fields.In addition,the parameters of the duals of these codes are also determined.Several examples show that some of our codes and their duals have the best known parameters according to the code tables in[16].The duals of some proposed codes are optimal according to the Sphere Packing bound if p≥5.

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF THE SOLUTION OF A CLASS OF NONLINEAR FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

The unicity of the solution, if any, of a class of nonlinear functional differential equations (fde) is established with the help of a transformation. The transformation reduces the fde to an ordinary differential equation. Existence of the solution is established by means of a fixed point theorem.

Extended Group Foliation Method and Functional Separation of Variables to Nonlinear Wave Equations

Generalized functional separation of variables to nonlinear evolution equations is studied in terms of the extended group foliation method, which is based on the Lie point symmetry method. The approach is applied to nonlinear wave equations with variable speed and external force. A complete classification for the wave equation which admits functional separable solutions is presented. Some known results can be recovered by this approach.

Expanding the Tanh-Function Method for Solving Nonlinear Equations

In this paper, using the tanh-function method, we introduce a new approach to solitary wave solutions for solving nonlinear PDEs. The proposed method is based on adding integration constants to the resulting nonlinear ODEs from the nonlinear PDEs using the wave transformation. Also, we use a transformation related to those integration constants. Some examples are considered to find their exact solutions such as KdV- Burgers class and Fisher, Boussinesq and Klein-Gordon equations. Moreover, we discuss the geometric interpretations of the resulting exact solutions.

A DUAL-RELAX PENALTY FUNCTION APPROACH FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR BILEVEL PROGRAMMING WITH LINEAR LOWER LEVEL PROBLEM

The penalty function method, presented many years ago, is an important nu- merical method for the mathematical programming problems. In this article, we propose a dual-relax penalty function approach, which is significantly different from penalty func- tion approach existing for solving the bilevel programming, to solve the nonlinear bilevel programming with linear lower level problem. Our algorithm will redound to the error analysis for computing an approximate solution to the bilevel programming. The error estimate is obtained among the optimal objective function value of the dual-relax penalty problem and of the original bilevel programming problem. An example is illustrated to show the feasibility of the proposed approach.

We develop a method by which a control Lyapunov function for the feedback linearizable part can be constructed systematically via Lyapunov equation. Moreover, by a control Lyapunov function of the feedback linearizable part and a Lyapunov function of the zero dynamics, a control Lyapunov function for the overall nonlinear system is established.

SVM with Quadratic Polynomial Kernel Function Based Nonlinear Model One-step-ahead Predictive Control

A support vector machine (SVM) with quadratic polynomial kernel function based nonlinear model one-step-ahead predictive controller is presented. The SVM based predictive model is established with black-box identification method. By solving a cubic equation in the feature space, an explicit predictive control law is obtained through the predictive control mechanism. The effect of controller is demonstrated on a recognized benchmark problem and on the control of continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Simulation results show that SVM with quadratic polynomial kernel function based predictive controller can be well applied to nonlinear systems, with good performance in following reference trajectory as well as in disturbance-rejection.
