We study the solution of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the semiclassical limit. Numerical solutions are presented for four different kinds of initial data, of which three are analytic and one is nonanalytic. We verify numerically the weak convergence of the oscillatory solution by examining the strong convergence of the spatial average of the solution.  2002 Elsevier Science B...

this paper considers the problem of stable limit cycles generating in a class of uncertain nonlinear systems which leads to stable oscillations in the system’s output.this is a wanted behavior in many practical engineering problems. for this purpose, first the equation of the desirable limit cycle is achieved according to shape, amplitude and frequency of the required output oscillations. then,...

this paper deals with three-dimensional evaluation of the slopes on the basis of limit analysis. an upper-bound technique of limit analysis is used in this paper to determine either the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation near a slope or the safety factor of the slope. the theorems of limit analysis (upper and lower bound) provide a powerful tool for solving problems in which limit loads n...

This study extends the limit analysis techniques used for the computation of strict bounds of the load factors in solids to stability problems with interfaces, anchors and joints. The cases considered include the pull-out capacity of multibelled anchors and the stability of retaining walls for multiple conditions at the anchor/soil and wall/soil interfaces. Three types of wall supports are exam...
