Green’s function and existence of solutions for a third-order three-point boundary value problem
2019
The solutions of third-order three-point boundary value problem x‘‘‘ + f(t, x) = 0, t ∈ [a, b], x(a) = x‘(a) = 0, x(b) = kx(η), where η ∈ (a, b), k ∈ R, f ∈ C([a, b] × R, R) and f(t, 0) ≠ 0, are the subject of this investigation. In order to establish existence and uniqueness results for the solutions, attention is focused on applications of the corresponding Green’s function. As an application, also one example is given to illustrate the result. Keywords: Green’s function, nonlinear boundary value problems, three-point boundary conditions, existence and uniqueness of solutions.
Existence of a unique solution for a third-order boundary value problem with nonlocal conditions of integral type
2021
The existence of a unique solution for a third-order boundary value problem with integral condition is proved in several ways. The main tools in the proofs are the Banach fixed point theorem and the Rus’s fixed point theorem. To compare the applicability of the obtained results, some examples are considered.
Plasmon mass scale and quantum fluctuations of classical fields on a real time lattice
2018
Classical real-time lattice simulations play an important role in understanding non-equilibrium phenomena in gauge theories and are used in particular to model the prethermal evolution of heavy-ion collisions. Above the Debye scale the classical Yang-Mills (CYM) theory can be matched smoothly to kinetic theory. First we study the limits of the quasiparticle picture of the CYM fields by determining the plasmon mass of the system using 3 different methods. Then we argue that one needs a numerical calculation of a system of classical gauge fields and small linearized fluctuations which correspond to quantum fluctuations, in a way that keeps the separation between the two manifest. We demonstra…
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…
Trajectory robust control of autonomous quadcopters based on model decoupling and disturbance estimation
2021
In this article, a systematic procedure is given for determining a robust motion control law for autonomous quadcopters, starting from an input–output linearizable model. In particular, the suggested technique can be considered as a robust feedback linearization (FL), where the nonlinear state-feedback terms, which contain the aerodynamic forces and moments and other unknown disturbances, are estimated online by means of extended state observers. Therefore, the control system is made robust against unmodelled dynamics and endogenous as well as exogenous disturbances. The desired closed-loop dynamics is obtained by means of pole assignment. To have a feasible control action, that is, the fo…
ROS/Gazebo-Based Simulation of Quadcopter Aircrafts
2018
The main purpose of this work is to present a tutorial description on how to design and develop an observer, which is capable of estimating the position and the orientation of a drone commanded by a controller, whose shape and structure are unknown. Starting from Newton's and Euler's laws, a mathematical model describing the dynamics of a quadcopter has first been obtained. By linearizing this model it is possible to implement a Luenberger observer and validate it with simulations in a Linux environment, thanks to the use of the Ardupilot controller and the Gazebo simulator. Finally, starting from the results obtained from the simulation, it is possible to evaluate the error made in the est…
Existence results for $L^1$ data of some quasi-linear parabolic problems with a quadratic gradient term and source
2002
In this paper we deal with a Cauchy–Dirichlet quasilinear parabolic problem containing a gradient lower order term; namely, ut - Δu + |u|2 γ-2u |∇u|2 = |u|p-2u. We prove that if p ≥ 1, γ ≥ ½ and p < 2 γ + 2, then there exists a global weak solution for all initial data in L1 (Ω). We also see that there exists a non-negative solution if the initial datum is non-negative.
NUMERICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF A K.A.M. ALGORITHM
1993
We discuss a numerical implementation of a K.A.M. algorithm to determine invariant tori, for systems that are quadratic in the action variables. The method has the advantage that the iteration procedure does not produce higher order terms in the actions, allowing thus a systematic control of the convergence.
Prediction of Highly Non-stationary Time Series Using Higher-Order Neural Units
2017
Adaptive predictive models can use conventional and nonconventional neural networks for highly non-stationary time series prediction. However, conventional neural networks present a series of known drawbacks. This paper presents a brief discussion about this concern as well as how the basis of higher-order neural units can overcome some of them; it also describes a sliding window technique alongside the batch optimization technique for capturing the dynamics of non-stationary time series over a Quadratic Neural Unit, a special case of higher-order neural units. Finally, an experimental analysis is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Symmetry-based canonical dressing of a bidimensionally trapped and laser-driven ion
2001
Abstract We present a detailed and exact construction of a unitary operator accomplishing the diagonalization of an effective quadratic radiation-matter interaction model describing a bidimensionally trapped and appropriately laser-driven ion. The possibility of applying the same mathematical method to other effective radiation-matter interaction model is briefly put into evidence.
