The main purpose of this paper was to evaluate the performance of the triangular vanes located on the bed and their effect on the bed topography considering different flow conditions. For this purpose, tests were carried out on a straight flume for different flow conditions (five Froude numbers of 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, 0.24 and 0.26) by installing a series of triangular vanes at a space of 4Le (Le ...

let $a_1$, $a_2$ be unital banach algebras and $x$ be an $a_1$-$a_2$- module. applying the concept of module maps, (inner) modulegeneralized derivations and  generalized first cohomology groups, wepresent several results concerning the relations between modulegeneralized derivations from $a_i$ into the dual space $a^*_i$ (for$i=1,2$) and such derivations  from  the triangular banach algebraof t...

We present a solution to the following reduction problem for asymptotic stability of closed sets in nonlinear systems. Given two closed, positively invariant subsets of the state space of a nonlinear system, Γ1 ⊂ Γ2, assuming that Γ1 is asymptotically stable relative to Γ2, find conditions under which Γ1 is asymptotically stable. We also investigate analogous reduction problems for stability an...

Every polynomial of degree n has n roots; every continuous function on [0, 1] attains its maximum; every real symmetric matrix has a complete set of orthonormal eigenvectors. “General theorems” are a big part of the mathematics we know. We can hardly resist the urge to generalize further! Remove hypotheses, make the theorem tighter and more difficult, include more functions, move into Hilbert s...

0. Introduction. Let H be a complex Hilbert space of finite or infinite dimension, and let E be a collection of bounded linear operators on H. We say E is reducible if there exists a subspace of H, closed by definition and different from the trivial subspaces {0} and H which is invariant under every member of E . We call E triangularizable if the set of invariant subspaces under E contains a ma...

-Two alternative solutions to the generalized predictive control (GPC) design problem are given for the case when the output horizon is larger than or equal to the plant order. First, using multirate models of the discrete-time plant, we present a state-space solution that does not require state observers or Riccati equation iterations for its implementation. Second, it is shown, via simple alg...

Let T be a block lower triangular contraction, i.e., a contractive operator T = (ti,j) ∞ i,j=−∞ acting from a doubly infinite Hilbert space direct sum ⊕∞ j=−∞Kj into a doubly infinite Hilbert space direct sum ⊕∞ j=−∞ Lj . The operator ti,j , which maps Kj into Li, is the (i, j)-th entry in the operator matrix representation of T relative to the natural Hilbert space direct sum decompositions. I...

Strongly stable ideals are a key tool in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. These ideals have nice combinatorial properties that makes them well suited for both theoretical and computational applications. In the case of polynomial rings with coefficients in a field with characteristic zero, the notion of strongly stable ideals coincides with the notion of Borel-fixed ideals. Ideals of ...

We present a novel approach to morph between two isometric poses of the same nonrigid object given as triangular meshes. We model the morphs as linear interpolations in a suitable shape space S. For triangulated 3D polygons, we prove that interpolating linearly in this shape space corresponds to the most isometric morph in R3. We then extend this shape space to arbitrary triangulations in 3D us...
