A Variational Formulation of Optimal Nonlinear Estimation
We propose a variational method to solve all three estimation problems for nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems: prediction, filtering, and smoothing. Our new approach is based upon a proper choice of cost function, termed the effective action. We show that this functional of time-histories is the unique statistically well-founded cost function to determine most probable histories within empi...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Variational Problem for Image Matching
Minimizing a nonlinear functional is presented as a way of obtaining a planar mapping that matches two similar images. A smoothing term is added to the nonlinear functional to penalize discontinuous and irregular solutions. One option for the smoothing term is a quadratic form generated by a linear differential operator. The functional is then minimized using the Fourier representation of the p...
متن کاملAn Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian Formulation for Modelling Cavitation in the Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Line Contacts
In this article an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation for modelling cavitation in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is derived and applied to line contact geometry. The method is developed in order to locate the position of cavitation onset along the length of the contacting region which gives the transition from liquid to vapour in the fluid. The ALE is implemented by introduci...
متن کاملA mass–conserving algorithm for dynamical lubrication problems with cavitation
A numerical algorithm for fully–dynamical lubrication problems based on the Elrod– Adams formulation of Reynolds equation with mass–conserving boundary conditions is described. A simple but effective relaxation scheme is used to update the solution maintaining the complementarity conditions on the variables that represents the pressure and fluid fraction. The equations of motion are discretized...
متن کاملModelling Cavitation in (Elasto)Hydrodynamic Lubrication
In this chapter we will present a derivation of a mathematical model describing how cavitation influences the pressure distribution in a thin lubricant film between two moving surfaces. The main idea in the derivation is to first describe the influence of cavitation on the mass flow and thereafter using a conservation law for the mass. This leads to a nonlinear system with two complementary var...
