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.

SINE TRANSFORM PRECONDITIONERS FOR SECOND-ORDER PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we are concerned with the numerical solution of second-order partial differential equations. We analyse the use of the Sine Transform precondilioners for the solution of linear systems arising from the discretization of p.d.e. via the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. For the second-order partial differential equations with Dirichlel boundary conditions, we prove that the condition number of the preconditioned system is O(1) while the condition number of the original system is O(m 2) Here m is the number of interior gridpoints in each direction. Such condition number produces a linear convergence rale.

The Second-Order Differential Equation System with the Feedback Controls for Solving Convex Programming

In this paper, we establish the second-order differential equation system with the feedback controls for solving the problem of convex programming. Using Lagrange function and projection operator, the equivalent operator equations for the convex programming problems under the certain conditions are obtained. Then a second-order differential equation system with the feedback controls is constructed on the basis of operator equation. We prove that any accumulation point of the trajectory of the second-order differential equation system with the feedback controls is a solution to the convex programming problem. In the end, two examples using this differential equation system are solved. The numerical results are reported to verify the effectiveness of the second-order differential equation system with the feedback controls for solving the convex programming problem.
