The Global Problem of Time

نویسنده

چکیده

Time does not obviously appear amongst the coordinates on the constrained phase space of general relativity in the Hamiltonian formulation. Recent work in finite-dimensional models claims that topological obstructions generically make the global definition of time impossible. It is shown here that a time coordinate can be globally defined on a constrained phase space by patching together local time coordinates, just as coordinates are defined on topologically non-trivial manifolds.

Using Modified IPSO-SQP Algorithm to Solve Nonlinear Time Optimal Bang-Bang Control Problem

In this paper, an intelligent-gradient based algorithm is proposed to solve time optimal bang-bang control problem. The proposed algorithm is a combination of an intelligent algorithm called improved particle swarm optimization algorithm (IPSO) in the first stage of optimization process together with a gradient-based algorithm called successive quadratic programming method (SQP) in the second s...

Study of buffer effects on the grouping efficacy measure of stochastic cell formation problem

This paper deals the stochastic cell formation problem (SCFP). The paper presents a new nonlinear integer programming model for the SCFP in which the effect of buffer size on the grouping efficacy of cells has been investigated. The objective function is the maximization of the grouping efficacy of cells. A chance constraint is applied to explore the effect of buffer on the SCFP. Processing tim...

A semidefinite relaxation scheme for quadratically constrained

  Semidefinite optimization relaxations are among the widely used approaches to find global optimal or approximate solutions for many nonconvex problems. Here, we consider a specific quadratically constrained quadratic problem with an additional linear constraint. We prove that under certain conditions the semidefinite relaxation approach enables us to find a global optimal solution of the unde...
