We consider the simulation of three-dimensional transonic Euler flow using pseudo-transient Newton–Krylov methods [8,9]. The main computation involves solving a large, sparse linear system at each Newton (nonlinear) iteration. We develop a technique for adaptively selecting the linear solver method to match better the numeric properties of the linear systems as they evolve during the course of ...

In this paper, we show that the shifts of a pseudo-spline are linearly independent. This is stronger than the (more obvious) statement that the shifts of a pseudo-spline form a Riesz system. In fact, the linear independence of a compactly supported (refinable) function and its shifts has been studied in several areas of approximation and wavelet theory (see e.g. [4], [9], [10], [13], [14], [16]...

Robust control problems in linear systems are considered on the base of analysis of related linear quadratic differential game. New explicit formulae for the "best" robust optimal control input and the "worst" exogenous disturbance derived with the use of pseudo-inverse matrices ) (t D+ were originally suggested in this author's previously published paper "Reduction of Dimensionality in Choosin...

evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. in this paper, potentials of the evolving linear models (elms) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. at first, an elm is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (siso) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...

A comparison was made of the linear least-squares method and a trial-and-error non-linear method of the widely used pseudo-second-order kinetic model for the sorption of cadmium onto ground-up tree fern. Four pseudo-second-order kinetic linear equations are discussed. Kinetic parameters obtained from the four kinetic linear equations using the linear method differed but they were the same when ...

Batch kinetic experiments were carried out for the sorption of methylene blue onto activated carbon. The experimental kinetics were fitted to the pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetics by linear and a non-linear method. The five different types of Ho pseudo second-order expression have been discussed. A comparison of linear least-squares method and a trial and error non-linear meth...

We prove that the looped-functional considered in [1,2,3] for the analysis of sampled-data, impulsive and switched systems is “complete”, in the sense that it can be used to equivalently characterize a certain discrete-time stability criterion involving matrix exponentials. This result is derived for a wider class of linear systems, referred to as pseudo-periodic systems with impulses, encompas...
