Convergence of numerical methods for systems of neutral functional-differential-algebraic equations

Tadeusz Jankowski, Marian Kwapisz (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

A general class of numerical methods for solving initial value problems for neutral functional-differential-algebraic systems is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions under which these methods are consistent with the problem are established. The order of consistency is discussed. A convergence theorem for a general class of methods is proved.

Decentralized control and synchronization of time-varying complex dynamical network

Wei-Song Zhong, Jovan D. Stefanovski, Georgi M. Dimirovski, Jun Zhao (2009)

Kybernetika

A new class of controlled time-varying complex dynamical networks with similarity is investigated and a decentralized holographic-structure controller is designed to stabilize the network asymptotically at its equilibrium states. The control design is based on the similarity assumption for isolated node dynamics and the topological structure of the overall network. Network synchronization problems, both locally and globally, are considered on the ground of decentralized control approach. Each sub-controller...

Defect correction and a posteriori error estimation of Petrov-Galerkin methods for nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations

Shu Hua Zhang, Tao Lin, Yan Ping Lin, Ming Rao (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

We present two defect correction schemes to accelerate the Petrov-Galerkin finite element methods [19] for nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations. Using asymptotic expansions of the errors, we show that the defect correction schemes can yield higher order approximations to either the exact solution or its derivative. One of these schemes even does not impose any extra regularity requirement on the exact solution. As by-products, all of these higher order numerical methods can also be...
