The main objective of the present study is to utilize a novel linearization strategy to linearize the convection terms of the quasi-one-dimensional Euler governing equations on collocated grids and to examine its shock-capturing capabilities. To avoid a pressure checkerboard problem on the collocated grids, it is necessary to utilize two velocity definitions at each cell face. Similarly, we def...

The input-to-state linearization of a system is usually necessary to consider whenever the input-to-output linearization of the system yields a possibly unstable cloosed-loop system. In this work a unified approach to the input-to-state linearization of nonlinear systems, both continuousand discrete-time, is suggested. The problem is studied from a uniform standpoint. In that respect methods an...

zinc is the first modelling language which supports solver and technique independence. this means that a high level conceptual model can be automatically mapped into an appropriate low level design model for a specific solver or technique. to date, zinc uses three different techniques to solve a model: constraint programming (cp), local search (ls), and mixed integer programming (mip). in this ...
