Solutions and positive solutions for superlinear Robin problems

2019

We consider nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Robin problems with a (p − 1)-superlinear reaction term, which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. We look for positive solutions and prove existence and multiplicity theorems. For the particular case of the p-Laplacian, we prove existence results under a different geometry near the origin.We consider nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Robin problems with a (p − 1)-superlinear reaction term, which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.

$C^{1,��}$ regularity for the normalized $p$-Poisson problem

2017

We consider the normalized $p$-Poisson problem $$-��^N_p u=f \qquad \text{in}\quad ��.$$ The normalized $p$-Laplacian $��_p^{N}u:=|D u|^{2-p}��_p u$ is in non-divergence form and arises for example from stochastic games. We prove $C^{1,��}_{loc}$ regularity with nearly optimal $��$ for viscosity solutions of this problem. In the case $f\in L^{\infty}\cap C$ and $p>1$ we use methods both from viscosity and weak theory, whereas in the case $f\in L^q\cap C$, $q>\max(n,\frac p2,2)$, and $p>2$ we rely on the tools of nonlinear potential theory.

QR-Factorization Algorithm for Computed Tomography (CT): Comparison With FDK and Conjugate Gradient (CG) Algorithms

2018

[EN] Even though QR-factorization of the system matrix for tomographic devices has been already used for medical imaging, to date, no satisfactory solution has been found for solving large linear systems, such as those used in computed tomography (CT) (in the order of 106 equations). In CT, the Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress back projection algorithm (FDK) and iterative methods like conjugate gradient (CG) are the standard methods used for image reconstruction. As the image reconstruction problem can be modeled by a large linear system of equations, QR-factorization of the system matrix could be used to solve this system. Current advances in computer science enable the use of direct methods for…

On the accurate determination of nonisolated solutions of nonlinear equations

1981

A simple but efficient method to obtain accurate solutions of a system of nonlinear equations with a singular Jacobian at the solution is presented. This is achieved by enlarging the system to a higher dimensional one whose solution in question is isolated. Thus it can be computed e. g. by Newton's method, which is locally at least quadratically convergent and selfcorrecting, so that high accuracy is attainable.

1982

The molecular weight distribution (MWD) of a high polymer is calculated from a weakly perturbed Zimm-plot of the classical light scattering on dilute solutions of Gaussian polymer coils (theta state). A typical Zimm-plot is simulated corresponding to the measurements of high accuracy as would be obtained by using the laser photometer described by Hack and Meyerhoff. The accuracy as published by these authors for small dissymmetries is used. Two numerical methods for calculating the MWD are briefly described and tested, both using an empirical formula for the Laplace image of the calculated MWD.

Experimental study of bifurcations in modified FitzHugh-Nagumo cell

2003

A nonlinear electrical circuit is proposed as a basic cell for modelling the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation with a modified excitability. Depending on initial conditions and parameters, experiments show various dynamics including stability with excitation threshold, bistability and oscillations.

Active spike responses of analog electrical neuron: Theory and experiments

2010

Using an analog electrical FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron including complex threshold excitation (CTE) properties, we analyze its spiking responses under pulse stimulation corresponding to oscillating threshold manifold. The system is subjected to outside pulse stimulus and can generate nonlinear integrate-and-flre and resonant responses which are typical for excitable neuronal cells ("all-or-none"). The answer of the neuron strongly depends on the number and the characteristics of incoming impulses (amplitude, width, strength and frequency). For certain parameters range, there is a possibility to trigger a spiking sequence with a finite number of spikes in response of a single short stimulus pulse…

Nonlinear dynamics of semiflexible magnetic filaments in an ac magnetic field

2006

Flexible spontaneously magnetized filaments exist in the living world (magnetotactic bacteria) and arise in magnetic colloids with large magnetodipolar interaction parameter. We demonstrate that these filaments possess variety of novel nonlinear phenomena in an ac magnetic field: orientation of the filament in the direction perpendicular to the field and the development of the oscillating U-like shapes, which presumably can lead to the formation of rings of magnetic filaments. It is found that these phenomena are determined by the development of the localized boundary modes of the filament deformation. We have illustrated by qualitative estimates that the phenomena found may be useful for i…

An LMI approach to quantized H<inf>∞</inf> control of uncertain linear systems with network-induced delays

2010

This paper deals with a convex optimization approach to the problem of robust network-based H ∞ control for linear systems connected over a common digital communication network with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. Firstly, we investigate the effect of both the output quantization levels and the network conditions under static quantizers. Secondly, by introducing a descriptor technique, using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and a suitable change of variables, new required sufficient conditions are established in terms of delay-range-dependent linear matrix inequalities for the existence of the desired network-based quantized controllers with simultaneous consideration of network induced…
