Transfer functions models of linear systems are a well established tool for the design and analysis of one-dimensional systems. This is not the case for multidimensional physical systems, given in terms of initial boundary value problems. Here, the only mathematical description of widespread use are partial di erential equations. This contribution shows, how the one-dimensional transfer functio...

We synthesize robust nonlinear static output feedback controllers for systems of quasi-linear parabolic partial di!erential equations with time-dependent spatial domains and uncertain variables. The controllers are successfully applied to a typical di!usion}reaction process with moving boundary and uncertainty. ( 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

We will discuss here Dirichlet problems for non linear …rst order partial di¤erential equations. We will present the recent results of DacorognaMarcellini on this subject; mentioning brie‡y, as a matter of introduction, some results on viscosity solutions.

one of the ecient and powerful schemes to solve linear and nonlinear equationsis homotopy analysis method (ham). in this work, we obtain the approximate solution ofa system of partial dierential equations (pdes) by means of ham. for this purpose, wedevelop the concept of ham for a system of pdes as a matrix form. then, we prove theconvergence theorem and apply the proposed method to nd the a...

We announce publicly available Fortran software for the initial value problem IVP in ordinary di erential equations ODEs We describe the interfaces and how Fortran language features a ord the opportunity both to address di erent types and structures of variables and to provide functionality not usually directly associated with IVP solvers

We study several aspects of the dynamic programming approach to optimal control of abstract evolution equations, including a class of semilinear partial di erential equations. We introduce and prove a veri cation theorem which provides a su cient condition for optimality. Moreover we prove suband superoptimality principles of dynamic programming and present an explicit construction of -optimal ...

We describe herein the parallel implementation of the Bi-CGSTAB method with a block Red-Black Gauss-Seidel (RBGS) preconditioner applied to the systems of linear algebraic equations that arise from the Hermite collocation discretization of partial di erential equations in two spatial dimensions. The method is implemented on the Cray T3E, a parallel processing supercomputer. Speedup results are ...

For linear di erential algebraic equations of tractability index 1 the notion of the adjoint equation is analysed in full detail. Its solvability is shown at the lowest possible smoothness. The fundamental matrices of both equations are de ned and their relationships are characterized.

We present an algorithm for the solution of a nontrivial coupled system of algebraic Riccati equations appearing in risk sensitive control problems. Moreover we use comparison methods to derive non blow up conditions for the solutions of a corresponding terminal value problem for coupled systems of Riccati di erential equations.

In this paper we present some results about analytic machines regarding the power of computations over Q or R solutions of di erential equations and the stability problem of dynamical systems We rst explain the machine model which is a kind of Blum Shub Smale machine enhanced by in nite convergent computations Next we com pare the computational power of such machines over the elds Q and R showi...
