Basis set and correlation effects in the calculation of accurate gas phase dimerization energies of two M+2 to give M2+4 (M = S, Se)
2000
The dimerization energies of two M2+ to give M42+ (M = S, Se) were calcd. They depend strongly on the size of the basis set and the correlation method used (ranging from 217 to 522 kJ/mol, M = S) and, therefore, a systematic study of basis set and correlation effects was performed [MP2, MP3, MP4(SDQ), CCSD, CCSD(T)]. The introduction of a second set of polarizing d-functions caused a significant redn. of the dimerization energies, but neither of the above limits is reached by the MPn (n = 2, 3, 4) theory, even with the largest basis sets [cc-pVQZ]. However, convergence was achieved by CCSD(T), compd. methods or hybrid HF/DFT calcns. employing flexible basis sets [e.g., CCSD(T)/cc-pV5Z, CBS-…
State-specific multireference coupled-cluster theory
2012
The multireference problem is considered one of the great challenges in coupled-cluster (CC) theory. Most recent developments are based on state-specific approaches, which focus on a single state and avoid some of the numerical problems of more general approaches. We review various state-of-the-art methods, including Mukherjee's state-specific multireference coupled-cluster (Mk-MRCC) theory, multireference Brillouin–Wigner coupled-cluster (MR-BWCC) theory, the MRexpT method, and internally contracted multireference coupled-cluster (ic-MRCC) theory. Related methods such as extended single-reference schemes [e.g., the complete active space coupled-cluster (CASCC) theory] and canonical transfo…
Stability and -gain controller design for positive switched systems with mixed time-varying delays
2013
This paper investigates the problems of stability and L"1-gain controller design for positive switched systems with mixed time-varying delays. The mixed time-varying delays are presented in the forms of discrete delay and distributed delay. The purpose of this paper is to design a class of switching signals and a state feedback controller for the considered system such that the resulting closed-loop system is exponentially stable with L"1-gain performance. By constructing an appropriate co-positive type Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and using the average dwell time approach, we propose a sufficient condition to ensure the exponential stability with weighted L"1-gain performance for the sys…
Global convergence and rate of convergence of a method of centers
1994
We consider a method of centers for solving constrained optimization problems. We establish its global convergence and that it converges with a linear rate when the starting point of the algorithm is feasible as well as when the starting point is infeasible. We demonstrate the effect of the scaling on the rate of convergence. We extend afterwards, the stability result of [5] to the infeasible case anf finally, we give an application to semi-infinite optimization problems.
Rational solutions to the KPI equation from particular polynomials
2022
Abstract We construct solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (KPI) from particular polynomials. We obtain rational solutions written as a second spatial derivative of a logarithm of a determinant of order n . We obtain with this method an infinite hierarchy of rational solutions to the KPI equation. We give explicitly the expressions of these solutions for the first five orders.
Uniqueness of solutions for some elliptic equations with a quadratic gradient term
2008
We study a comparison principle and uniqueness of positive solutions for the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value problem associated to quasi-linear elliptic equations with lower order terms. A model example is given by −Δu + λ |∇u| 2 u r = f (x) ,λ , r >0. The main feature of these equations consists in having a quadratic gradient term in which singularities are allowed. The arguments employed here also work to deal with equations having lack of ellipticity or some dependence on u in the right hand side. Furthermore, they could be applied to obtain uniqueness results for nonlinear equations having the p-Laplacian operator as the principal part. Our results improve those already known, even…
The rate of multiplicity of the roots of nonlinear equations and its application to iterative methods
2015
Nonsimple roots of nonlinear equations present some challenges for classic iterative methods, such as instability or slow, if any, convergence. As a consequence, they require a greater computational cost, depending on the knowledge of the order of multiplicity of the roots. In this paper, we introduce dimensionless function, called rate of multiplicity, which estimates the order of multiplicity of the roots, as a dynamic global concept, in order to accelerate iterative processes. This rate works not only with integer but also fractional order of multiplicity and even with poles (negative order of multiplicity).
On regularity up to the boundary of solutions to a system of degenerate nonlinear elliptic fourth-order equations
2008
Under some hypotheses on weighted functions, using the interior regularity results established in (Kovalevsky, A. and Nicolosi, F., 2005, Existence and regularity of solutions to a system of degenerate nonlinear fourth-order equations. Nonlinear Analysis, 61, 281–307) and estimating the oscillation of solutions near the boundary of Ω, we establish results on regularity up to the boundary of a solutions of the system (1.1).
