Center manifold and exponentially-bounded solutions of a forced Newtonian system with dissipation.
Consider a bifurcation problem, namely, its bifurcation equation. There is a diffeomorphism linking the actual solution set with an unfolded normal form of the bifurcation equation. The differential of this diffeomorphism is a valuable information for a numerical analysis of the imperfect bifurcation. The aim of this paper is to construct algorithms for a computation of . Singularity classes containing bifurcation points with , are considered.
To explore the impacts of time delay on nonlinear dynamics of consensus models, we incorporate time-varying delay into a two-agent system to study its long-time behaviors. By the classical 3/2 stability theory, we establish a sufficient condition for the system to experience unconditional consensus. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed protocols and present possible Hopf bifurcations when the time delay changes.
Convergence results for two Lagrange-Newton-type methods of solving optimal control problems are presented. It is shown how the methods can be applied to a class of optimal control problems for nonlinear ODEs, subject to mixed control-state constraints. The first method reduces to an SQP algorithm. It does not require any information on the structure of the optimal solution. The other one is the shooting method, where information on the structure of the optimal solution is exploited. In each case,...
