Birkhoffian symplectic algorithms derived from Hamiltonian symplectic algorithms

In this paper, we focus on the construction of structure preserving algorithms for Birkhoffian systems, based on existing symplectic schemes for the Hamiltonian equations. The key of the method is to seek an invertible transformation which drives the Birkhoffian equations reduce to the Hamiltonian equations. When there exists such a transformation, applying the corresponding inverse map to symplectic discretization of the Hamiltonian equations, then resulting difference schemes are verified to be Birkhoftian symplectic for the original Birkhoffian equations. To illustrate the operation process of the method, we construct several desirable algorithms for the linear damped oscillator and the single pendulum with linear dissipation respectively. All of them exhibit excellent numerical behavior, especially in preserving conserved quantities.

Pseudospectral method with symplectic algorithm for the solution of time-dependent SchrSdinger equations

A pseudospectral method with symplectic algorithm for the solution of time-dependent Schrodinger equations （TDSE） is introduced. The spatial part of the wavefunction is discretized into sparse grid by pseudospectral method and the time evolution is given in symplectic scheme. This method allows us to obtain a highly accurate and stable solution of TDSE. The effectiveness and efficiency of this method is demonstrated by the high-order harmonic spectra of one-dimensional atom in strong laser field as compared with previously published work. The influence of the additional static electric field is also investigated.

Symplectic multi-level method for solving nonlinear optimal control problem

By converting an optimal control problem for nonlinear systems to a Hamiltonian system,a symplecitc-preserving method is proposed.The state and costate variables are approximated by the Lagrange polynomial.The state variables at two ends of the time interval are taken as independent variables.Based on the dual variable principle,nonlinear optimal control problems are replaced with nonlinear equations.Furthermore,in the implementation of the symplectic algorithm,based on the 2N algorithm,a multilevel method is proposed.When the time grid is refined from low level to high level,the initial state and costate variables of the nonlinear equations can be obtained from the Lagrange interpolation at the low level grid to improve efficiency.Numerical simulations show the precision and the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in this paper.

GPR Wave Propagation Model in a Complex Geoelectric Structure Using Conformal First-Order Symplectic Euler Algorithm

Possessing advantages such as high computing efficiency and ease of programming,the Symplectic Euler algorithm can be applied to construct a groundpenetrating radar(GPR)wave propagation numerical model for complex geoelectric structures.However,the Symplectic Euler algorithm is still a difference algorithm,and for a complicated boundary,ladder grids are needed to perform an approximation process,which results in a certain amount of error.Further,grids that are too dense will seriously decrease computing efficiency.This paper proposes a conformal Symplectic Euler algorithm based on the conformal grid technique,amends the electric/magnetic fieldupdating equations of the Symplectic Euler algorithm by introducing the effective dielectric constant and effective permeability coefficient,and reduces the computing error caused by the ladder approximation of rectangular grids.Moreover,three surface boundary models(the underground circular void model,the undulating stratum model,and actual measurement model)are introduced.By comparing reflection waveforms simulated by the traditional Symplectic Euler algorithm,the conformal Symplectic Euler algorithm and the conformal finite difference time domain(CFDTD),the conformal Symplectic Euler algorithm achieves almost the same level of accuracy as the CFDTD method,but the conformal Symplectic Euler algorithm improves the computational efficiency compared with the CFDTD method dramatically.When the dielectric constants of the two materials vary greatly,the conformal Symplectic Euler algorithm can reduce the pseudo-waves almost by 80% compared with the traditional Symplectic Euler algorithm on average.

NUMERICAL METHOD BASED ON HAMILTON SYSTEM AND SYMPLECTIC ALGORITHM TO DIFFERENTIAL GAMES

The resolution of differential games often concerns the difficult problem of two points border value （TPBV）, then ascribe linear quadratic differential game to Hamilton system. To Hamilton system, the algorithm of symplectic geometry has the merits of being able to copy the dynamic structure of Hamilton system and keep the measure of phase plane. From the viewpoint of Hamilton system, the symplectic characters of linear quadratic differential game were probed; as a try, Symplectic-Runge-Kutta algorithm was presented for the resolution of infinite horizon linear quadratic differential game. An example of numerical calculation was given, and the result can illuminate the feasibility of this method. At the same time, it embodies the fine conservation characteristics of symplectic algorithm to system energy.

Hamilton体系下的功能梯度压电压磁材料板/管静载及固有特性分析(英文)

The 3-dimensional couple equations of magneto-electro-elastic structures are derived under Hamiltonian system based on the Hamilton principle. The problem of single sort of variables is converted into the problem of double sorts of variables, and the Hamilton canonical equations are established. The 3-dimensional problem of magneto-electro-elastic structure which is investigated in Euclidean space commonly is converted into symplectic system. At the same time the Lagrange system is converted into Hamiltonian system. As an example, the dynamic characteristics of the simply supported functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic material （FGMM） plate and pipe are investigated. Finally, the problem is solved by symplectic algorithm. The results show that the physical quantities of displacement, electric potential and magnetic potential etc. change continuously at the interfaces between layers under the transverse pressure while some other physical quantities such as the stress, electric and magnetic displacement are not continuous. The dynamic stiffness is increased by the piezoelectric effect while decreased by the piezomagnetic effect.

New way to construct high order Hamiltonian variational integrators

This paper develops a new approach to construct variational integrators. A simplified unconventional Hamilton＇s variational principle corresponding to initial value problems is proposed, which is convenient for applications. The displacement and mo- mentum are approximated with the same Lagrange interpolation. After the numerical integration and variational operation, the original problems are expressed as algebraic equations with the displacement and momentum at the interpolation points as unknown variables. Some particular variational integrators are derived. An optimal scheme of choosing initial values for the Newton-Raphson method is presented for the nonlinear dynamic system. In addition, specific examples show that the proposed integrators are symplectic when the interpolation point coincides with the numerical integration point, and both are Gaussian quadrature points. Meanwhile, compared with the same order symplectic Runge-Kutta methods, although the accuracy of the two methods is almost the same, the proposed integrators are much simpler and less computationally expensive.

Explicit structure-preserving geometric particle-in-cell algorithm in curvilinear orthogonal coordinate systems and its applications to whole-device 6D kinetic simulations of tokamak physics

Explicit structure-preserving geometric particle-in-cell(PIC)algorithm in curvilinear orthogonal coordinate systems is developed.The work reported represents a further development of the structure-preserving geometric PIC algorithm achieving the goal of practical applications in magnetic fusion research.The algorithm is constructed by discretizing the field theory for the system of charged particles and electromagnetic field using Whitney forms,discrete exterior calculus,and explicit non-canonical symplectic integration.In addition to the truncated infinitely dimensional symplectic structure,the algorithm preserves exactly many important physical symmetries and conservation laws,such as local energy conservation,gauge symmetry and the corresponding local charge conservation.As a result,the algorithm possesses the long-term accuracy and fidelity required for first-principles-based simulations of the multiscale tokamak physics.The algorithm has been implemented in the Sym PIC code,which is designed for highefficiency massively-parallel PIC simulations in modern clusters.The code has been applied to carry out whole-device 6 D kinetic simulation studies of tokamak physics.A self-consistent kinetic steady state for fusion plasma in the tokamak geometry is numerically found with a predominately diagonal and anisotropic pressure tensor.The state also admits a steady-state subsonic ion flow in the range of 10 km s-1,agreeing with experimental observations and analytical calculations Kinetic ballooning instability in the self-consistent kinetic steady state is simulated.It is shown that high-n ballooning modes have larger growth rates than low-n global modes,and in the nonlinear phase the modes saturate approximately in 5 ion transit times at the 2%level by the E×B flow generated by the instability.These results are consistent with early and recent electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations.

Predictive Mathematical and Statistical Modeling of the Dynamic Poverty Problem in Burundi: Case of an Innovative Economic Optimization System

The mathematical and statistical modeling of the problem of poverty is a major challenge given Burundi’s economic development. Innovative economic optimization systems are widely needed to face the problem of the dynamic of the poverty in Burundi. The Burundian economy shows an inflation rate of -1.5% in 2018 for the Gross Domestic Product growth real rate of 2.8% in 2016. In this research, the aim is to find a model that contributes to solving the problem of poverty in Burundi. The results of this research fill the knowledge gap in the modeling and optimization of the Burundian economic system. The aim of this model is to solve an optimization problem combining the variables of production, consumption, budget, human resources and available raw materials. Scientific modeling and optimal solving of the poverty problem show the tools for measuring poverty rate and determining various countries’ poverty levels when considering advanced knowledge. In addition, investigating the aspects of poverty will properly orient development aid to developing countries and thus, achieve their objectives of growth and the fight against poverty. This paper provides a new and innovative framework for global scientific research regarding the multiple facets of this problem. An estimate of the poverty rate allows good progress with the theory and optimization methods in measuring the poverty rate and achieving sustainable development goals. By comparing the annual food production and the required annual consumption, there is an imbalance between different types of food. Proteins, minerals and vitamins produced in Burundi are sufficient when considering their consumption as required by the entire Burundian population. This positive contribution for the latter comes from the fact that some cows, goats, fishes, ···, slaughtered in Burundi come from neighboring countries. Real production remains in deficit. The lipids, acids, calcium, fibers and carbohydrates produced in Burundi are insufficient for consumption. This negative contribution proves a Burundian food deficit. It is a decision-making indicator for the design and updating of agricultural policy and implementation programs as well as projects. Investment and economic growth are only possible when food security is mastered. The capital allocated to food investment must be revised upwards. Demographic control is also a relevant indicator to push forward Burundi among the emerging countries in 2040. Meanwhile, better understanding of the determinants of poverty by taking cultural and organizational aspects into account guides managers for poverty reduction projects and programs.

A Symplectic Conservative Perturbation Series Expansion Method for Linear Hamiltonian Systems with Perturbations and Its Applications

In this paper,a novel symplectic conservative perturbation series expansion method is proposed to investigate the dynamic response of linear Hamiltonian systems accounting for perturbations,which mainly originate from parameters dispersions and measurement errors.Taking the perturbations into account,the perturbed system is regarded as a modification of the nominal system.By combining the perturbation series expansion method with the deterministic linear Hamiltonian system,the solution to the perturbed system is expressed in the form of asymptotic series by introducing a small parameter and a series of Hamiltonian canonical equations to predict the dynamic response are derived.Eventually,the response of the perturbed system can be obtained successfully by solving these Hamiltonian canonical equations using the symplectic difference schemes.The symplectic conservation of the proposed method is demonstrated mathematically indicating that the proposed method can preserve the characteristic property of the system.The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by three examples compared with the Runge-Kutta algorithm.Numerical examples illustrate the superiority of the proposed method in accuracy and stability,especially symplectic conservation for solving linear Hamiltonian systems with perturbations and the applicability in structural dynamic response estimation.

ON GENERALIZED HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

The purpose of this paper is to explore an extension of some fundamental properties of the Hamiltonian systems to a more general case. We first extend symplectic group to a general N- group, GN, and prove that it has certain similar properties. A particular property of GN is that as a Lie group dim (GN)≥1. Certain properties of its Lie-algebra 9N are investigated. The results obtained are used to investigate the structure-preserving systems, which generalize the property of symplectic form preserving of Hamiltonian system to a covariant tensor field preserving of certain dynamic systems. The results provide a theoretical benchmark of applying symplectic algorithm to a considerably larger class of structure-preserving systems.
