Permanent magnet machines, particularly at low power range, are widely used in the industry because of their high efficiency. They have gained popularity in variable frequency drive applications. The merits of the machine are elimination of field copper loss, higher power density, lower rotor inertia and a robust construction of the rotor (Bose 2002). In order to find effective ways of designin...

Let K be a complete ultrametric field. We give lower and upper bounds for the size of linearization discs for power series overK near hyperbolic fixed points. These estimates are maximal in the sense that there exist examples where these estimates give the exact size of the corresponding linearization disc. In particular, at repelling fixed points, the linearization disc is equal to the maximal...

this study proposes a new linear approximation for solving the dynamic response equations of a rocking rigid block. linearization assumptions which have already been used by hounser and other researchers cannot be valid for all rocking blocks with various slenderness ratios and dimensions; hence, developing new methods which can result in better approximation of governing equations while keepin...

linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. the specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. the basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...

The linearization problem of a second-order ordinary differential equation by the generalized Sundman transformation was considered earlier by Duarte, Moreira and Santos using the Laguerre form. The results obtained in the present paper demonstrate that their solution of the linearization problem for a second-order ordinary differential equation via the generalized Sundman transformation is not...

We analyze results on well-partial-orderings from the viewpoint of computability theory, and we answer a question posed by Diana Schmidt. We obtain the following results. De Jongh and Parikh showed that every well-partial-order has a linearization of maximal order type. We show that such a linearization can be found computably. We also show that the process of finding such a linearization is no...
