On Leonov’s method for computing the linearization of the transverse dynamics and analysis of Zhukovsky stability

2019

The paper focuses on a comprehensive discussion of G. A. Leonov’s results aimed at analyzing the Zhukovsky stability of a solution to a nonlinear autonomous system by linearization. The main contribution is deriving the linear system that approximates dynamics of the original nonlinear systems transverse to the vector-flow on a nominal behavior. As illustrated, such a linear comparison system becomes instrumental in the analysis and re-design of classical feedback controllers developed previously for the stabilization of motions of nonlinear mechanical systems.

Two theorems of N. Wiener for solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations

1985

Relatively little is known about boundary behavior of solutions of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations as compared to that of harmonic functions. In this paper two results, which in the harmonic case are due to N. Wiener, are generalized to a nonlinear situation. Suppose that G is a bounded domain in R n. We consider functions u: G--~R which are free extremals of the variational integral

Strong Instability of Ground States to a Fourth Order Schrödinger Equation

2019

Abstract In this note, we prove the instability by blow-up of the ground state solutions for a class of fourth order Schrödinger equations. This extends the first rigorous results on blowing-up solutions for the biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger due to Boulenger and Lenzmann [8] and confirm numerical conjectures from [1–3, 11].

Influence of a nonlinear coupling on the supratransmission effect in modified sine-Gordon and Klein–Gordon lattices

2017

International audience; In this paper, we analyze the conditions leading to the nonlinear supratransmission phenomenon in two different models: a modified fifth order Klein–Gordon system and a modified sine-Gordon system. The modified models considered here are those with mixed coupling, the pure linear coupling being associated with a nonlinear coupling. Especially, we numerically quantify the influence of the nonlinear coupling coefficient on the threshold amplitude which triggers the nonlinear supratransmission phenomenon. Our main result shows that, in both models, when the nonlinear coupling coefficient increases, the threshold amplitude triggering the nonlinear supratransmission pheno…

Nonlinear elliptic equations involving the p-Laplacian with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions

2019

In this paper, a nonlinear differential problem involving the \(p\)-Laplacian operator with mixed boundary conditions is investigated. In particular, the existence of three non-zero solutions is established by requiring suitable behavior on the nonlinearity. Concrete examples illustrate the abstract results.

Some notes on a superlinear second order Hamiltonian system

2016

Variational methods are used in order to establish the existence and the multiplicity of nontrivial periodic solutions of a second order dynamical system. The main results are obtained when the potential satisfies different superquadratic conditions at infinity. The particular case of equations with a concave-convex nonlinear term is covered.

Generation of nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. A general method

2002

International audience; A general method allowing to construct nonlinear resistors with arbitrary current-voltage (I-V) characteristics is proposed. The example of a cubic I-V characteristic is presented showing a perfect agreement between the theoretical desired resistor and its electronic realization based on analog multipliers.

Adaptive interpolation with maximum order close to discontinuities

2022

Abstract Adaptive rational interpolation has been designed in the context of image processing as a new nonlinear technique that avoids the Gibbs phenomenon when we approximate a discontinuous function. In this work, we present a generalization to this method giving explicit expressions for all the weights for any order of the algorithm. It has a similar behavior to weighted essentially non oscillatory (WENO) technique but the design of the weights in this case is more simple. Also, we propose a new way to construct them obtaining the maximum order near the discontinuities. Some experiments are performed to demonstrate our results and to compare them with standard methods.

2014

This paper investigates the proficiency of support vector machine (SVM) using datasets generated by Tennessee Eastman process simulation for fault detection. Due to its excellent performance in generalization, the classification performance of SVM is satisfactory. SVM algorithm combined with kernel function has the nonlinear attribute and can better handle the case where samples and attributes are massive. In addition, with forehand optimizing the parameters using the cross-validation technique, SVM can produce high accuracy in fault detection. Therefore, there is no need to deal with original data or refer to other algorithms, making the classification problem simple to handle. In order to…

A non-linear stochastic approach of ligaments and tendons fractional-order hereditariness

2020

Abstract In this study the non-linear hereditariness of knee tendons and ligaments is framed in the context of stochastic mechanics. Without losing the possibility of generalization, this work was focused on knee Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and the tendons used in its surgical reconstruction. The proposed constitutive equations of fibrous tissues involves three material parameters for the creep tests and three material parameters for relaxation tests. One-to-one relations among material parameters estimated in creep and relaxations were established and reported in the paper. Data scattering, observed with a novel experimental protocol used to characterize the mechanics of the tissue, w…
