The application of a new nonlinear robust control strategy to the design of missile autopilots is presented. The control approach described and demonstrated here is based upon the numerical solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation by Successive Galerkin Approximation. Using this approach, feedback controllers are computed by an iterative application of a numerical Galerkin-type PDE solve...

In this study wavelet based high-order Taylor Galerkin methods is introduced. Additional time layers are used to obtain high-order temporal accuracy unattainable within a two-step strategy. Two explicit model schemes are constructed and asymptotic stability of schemes are verified. The compactly supported orthogonal wavelet bases developed by Daubechies are used in Galerkin scheme. The behavior...

In this paper, we propose an efficient alternating direction implicit (ADI) Galerkin method for solving the time-fractional partial differential equation with damping, where the fractional derivative is in the sense of Caputo with order in (1, 2). The presented numerical scheme is based on the L2-1σ method in time and the Galerkin finite element method in space. The unconditional stability and ...

One-dimensional convection-diffusion problem with interior layers caused by the discontinuity of data is considered. Though standard Galerkin finite element method (FEM) generates oscillations in the numerical solutions, we prove its convergence in the ε-weighted norm of the first order on a class of layer-adapted meshes. We use streamline-diffusion finite element method (SDFEM) in order to sta...

The aim of this paper is to develop an hp-version a posteriori error analysis for the time discretization of parabolic problems by the continuous Galerkin (cG) and the discontinuous Galerkin (dG) time-stepping methods, respectively. The resulting error estimators are fully explicit with respect to the local time-steps and approximation orders. Their performance within an hp-adaptive refinement ...

We consider the bilinear Schrödinger equation with several controls and simplespectrum drift. Under some regularity assumptions on the control operators and generic conditions on the controllability of the Galerkin approximations we show exact controllability in projection on the first n given eigenstates, n ∈ N arbitrary. Our methods rely on Lie-algebraic control techniques applied to the Gale...

In this paper, we present a discontinuous Galerkin finite clement method for solving the nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi equations. This method is based on the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for solving conservation laws. The method has the flexibility of treating complicated geometry by using arbitrary triangulation, can achieve high order accuracy with a local, compact ste...
