A new LMI-based robust finite-time sliding mode control strategy for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

Saleh Mobayen, Fairouz Tchier (2015)

Kybernetika

This paper presents a novel sliding mode controller for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem and linear matrix inequality technique, a sufficient condition is derived to guarantee the global asymptotical stability of the error dynamics and a linear sliding surface is existed depending on state errors. A new reaching control law is designed to satisfy the presence of the sliding mode around the linear surface in the finite time, and its parameters are obtained...

A new maximality argument for a coupled fluid-structure interaction, with implications for a divergence-free finite element method

George Avalos, Matthew Dvorak (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider a coupled PDE model of various fluid-structure interactions seen in nature. It has recently been shown by the authors [Contemp. Math. 440, 2007] that this model admits of an explicit semigroup generator representation 𝓐:D(𝓐)⊂ H → H, where H is the associated space of fluid-structure initial data. However, the argument for the maximality criterion was indirect, and did not provide for an explicit solution Φ ∈ D(𝓐) of the equation (λI-𝓐)Φ =F for given F ∈ H and λ > 0. The present...

A new method to obtain decay rate estimates for dissipative systems with localized damping.

Patrick Martínez (1999)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We consider the wave equation damped with a locally distributed nonlinear dissipation. We improve several earlier results of E. Zuazua and of M. Nakao in two directions: first, using the piecewise multiplier method introduced by K. Liu, we weaken the usual geometrical conditions on the localization of the damping. Then thanks to some new nonlinear integral inequalities, we eliminate the usual assumption on the polynomial growth of the feedback in zero and we show that the energy of the system decays...

A new method to obtain decay rate estimates for dissipative systems

Patrick Martinez (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the wave equation damped with a boundary nonlinear velocity feedback p(u'). Under some geometrical conditions, we prove that the energy of the system decays to zero with an explicit decay rate estimate even if the function ρ has not a polynomial behavior in zero. This work extends some results of Nakao, Haraux, Zuazua and Komornik, who studied the case where the feedback has a polynomial behavior in zero and completes a result of Lasiecka and Tataru. The proof is based on the construction...

A new mixed finite element method based on the Crank-Nicolson scheme for Burgers' equation

Xiaohui Hu, Pengzhan Huang, Xinlong Feng (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, a new mixed finite element method is used to approximate the solution as well as the flux of the 2D Burgers’ equation. Based on this new formulation, we give the corresponding stable conforming finite element approximation for the P 0 2 - P 1 pair by using the Crank-Nicolson time-discretization scheme. Optimal error estimates are obtained. Finally, numerical experiments show the efficiency of the new mixed method and justify the theoretical results.

A new numerical model for propagation of tsunami waves

Karel Švadlenka (2007)

Kybernetika

A new model for propagation of long waves including the coastal area is introduced. This model considers only the motion of the surface of the sea under the condition of preservation of mass and the sea floor is inserted into the model as an obstacle to the motion. Thus we obtain a constrained hyperbolic free-boundary problem which is then solved numerically by a minimizing method called the discrete Morse semi-flow. The results of the computation in 1D show the adequacy of the proposed model.

A new proof of Kellerer’s theorem

Francis Hirsch, Bernard Roynette (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper, we present a new proof of the celebrated theorem of Kellerer, stating that every integrable process, which increases in the convex order, has the same one-dimensional marginals as a martingale. Our proof proceeds by approximations, and calls upon martingales constructed as solutions of stochastic differential equations. It relies on a uniqueness result, due to Pierre, for a Fokker-Planck equation.

A New Proof of Okaji’s Theorem for a Class of Sum of Squares Operators

Paulo D. Cordaro, Nicholas Hanges (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let P be a linear partial differential operator with analytic coefficients. We assume that P is of the form “sum of squares”, satisfying Hörmander’s bracket condition. Let q be a characteristic point for P . We assume that q lies on a symplectic Poisson stratum of codimension two. General results of Okaji show that P is analytic hypoelliptic at q . Hence Okaji has established the validity of Treves’ conjecture in the codimension two case. Our goal here is to give a simple, self-contained proof of...
