Point source identification in nonlinear advection–diffusion–reaction systems

Probabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems

Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...

Identification of Nonlinear Systems by Volterra Systems

| In this paper the identiication of non-linear systems by Volterra Systems (VS) and a special class of VS called Linearly decomposable Volterra Systems (LDVS) is considered. The results obtained for diierent nonlinear systems with VS and LDVS are studied in detail. A clear improvement in performance is observed if a LDVS is used instead of a VS.

Limit Cycle Identification in Nonlinear Polynomial Systems

We present a novel formulation, based on the latest advancement in polynomial system solving via linear algebra, for identifying limit cycles in general n-dimensional autonomous nonlinear polynomial systems. The condition for the existence of an algebraic limit cycle is first set up and cast into a Macaulay matrix format whereby polynomials are regarded as coefficient vectors of monomials. This...
