Non-linear systems under parametric alpha-stable LÉVY WHITE NOISES

2005

In this study stochastic analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems under a-stable, multiplicative white noise has been performed. Analysis has been conducted by means of the Ito rule extended to the case of α-stable noises. In this context the order of increments of Levy process has been evaluated and differential equations ruling the evolutions of statistical moments of either parametrically and external dynamical systems have been obtained. The extended Ito rule has also been used to yield the differential equation ruling the evolution of the characteristic function for parametrically excited dynamical systems. The Fourier transform of the characteristic function, namely the probability den…

Stochastic Response on Non-Linear Systems under Parametric Non-Gaussian Agencies

1992

The probabilistic response characterization of non-linear systems subjected to non-normal delta correlated parametric excitation is obtained. In order to do this an extension of both Ito’s differential rule and the Fokker-Planck equation is presented, enabling one to account for the effect of the non-normal input. The validity of the approach reported here is confirmed by results obtained by means of a Monte Carlo simulation.

A novel approach to nonlinear variable-order fractional viscoelasticity.

2020

This paper addresses nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour of fractional systems with variable time-dependent fractional order. In this case, the main challenge is that the Boltzmann linear superposition principle, i.e. the theoretical basis on which linear viscoelastic fractional operators are formulated, does not apply in standard form because the fractional order is not constant with time. Moving from this consideration, the paper proposes a novel approach where the system response is derived by a consistent application of the Boltzmann principle to an equivalent system, built at every time instant based on the fractional order at that instant and the response at all the previous ones. The ap…

Self-regulation mechanism of an ecosystem in a non-Gaussian fluctuation regime

1996

We study a dynamical model for an ecological network of many interacting species. We consider a Malthus-Verhulst type of self-regulation mechanism. In the framework of the mean field theory we study the nonlinear relaxation in three different cases: (a) towards the equilibrium state, (b) towards the absorbing barrier, (c) at the critical point. We obtain asymptotic behavior in all different cases for the time average of the process. The dynamical behavior of the system, in the limit of infinitely many interacting species, is investigated in the stability and instability conditions and theoretical results are compared with numerical simulations. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical So…

Modal analysis for random response of MDOF systems

1990

The usefulness of the mode-superposition method of multidegrees of freedom systems excited by stochastic vector processes is here presented. The differential equations of moments of every order are written in compact form by means of the Kronecker algebra; then the method for integration of these equations is presented for both classically and non-classically damped systems, showing that the fundamental operator available for evaluating the response in the deterministic analysis is also useful for evaluating the response in the stochastic analysis.

Itô-Stratonovitch Formula for the Wave Equation on a Torus

2010

We give an Ito-Stratonovitch formula for the wave equation on a torus, where we have no stochastic process associated to this partial differential equation. This gives a generalization of the classical Ito-Stratonovitch equation for diffusion in semi-group theory established by ourself in [18], [20].

Random Walk and Diffusion

2014

The concept of random walk as introduced by Einstein is introduced. It is shown that a random walk on a lattice can be descrbed by a difference equation, which becomes a partial differential equation (diffusion equation) in the continuum limit. The equation is solved with the help of Fourier and Laplace transformations.

Bounds for Bessel functions

1989

We establish lower and upper bounds for the Bessel functionJ v (x) and the modified Bessel functionI v(x) of the first kind. Our chief tool is the differential equation satisfied by these functions.

Noether’s International School in Modern Algebra

2020

Pavel Alexandrov and Heinz Hopf met for the first time in Gottingen in the spring of 1926, soon after Alexandrov departed from Blaricum. Hopf had recently taken his doctorate in Berlin under Ludwig Bieberbach and Erhard Schmidt, and his research interests differed sharply from Alexandrov’s work in general topology.
