Game theory is concerned with optimization problems involving several players with conicting interests. Di erential games are an interesting area inside this eld in which the problem is formulated by means of dynamical systems. In spite that the theoretical solution of di erential games is well known, faced with large-scale, complex systems, analytical or, even, numerical methods are not usuall...

The problem of simultaneous reduction of real matrices by either orthogo nal similarity or orthogonal equivalence transformations is considered Based on the Jacobi idea of minimizing the sum of squares of the complementary part of the desired form to which matrices are reduced the projected gradi ent method is used in this paper It is shown that the projected gradient of the objective function ...

in this work, we conduct a comparative study among the combine laplace transform and modied adomian decomposition method (lmadm) and two traditional methods for an analytic and approximate treatment of special type of nonlinear volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind. the nonlinear part of integro-differential is approximated by adomian polynomials, and the equation is red...

In this paper, we use a deep mathematical result (namely, a minor modi cation of Kolmogorov's solution to Hilbert's 13th problem) to explain why fundamental physical equations are of second order. This same result explain why all these fundamental equations naturally lead to nonsmooth solutions like singularity. Formulation of the problem. Most physical phenomena are described in terms of parti...

The main topics of this technical report are quaternions, their mathematical properties, and how they can be used to rotate objects. We introduce quaternion mathematics and discuss why quaternions are a better choice for implementing rotation than the well-known matrix implementations. We then treat di erent methods for interpolation between series of rotations. During this treatment we give co...

In this paper we describe an experimental system called d dt for approximating reachable states for hybrid systems whose con tinuous dynamics is de ned by linear di erential equations We use an approximation algorithm whose accumulation of errors during the con tinuous evolution is much smaller than in previously used methods The d dt system can so far treat non trivial continuous systems hybri...

The analytic expression of the time evolution of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor in all planar homogeneous ows is obtained by exact integration of the modeled di erential Reynolds stress equations. The procedure is based on results of tensor representation theory, is applicable for general pressure-strain correlation tensors, and can account for any additional turbulence anisotropy e ects...

Stability of stochastic di#erential equations with Markovian switching has recently been discussed by many authors, for example, Basak et al. (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 202 (1996) 604), Ji and Chizeck (IEEE Trans. Automat. Control 35 (1990) 777), Mariton (Jump Linear System in Automatic Control, Marcel Dekker, New York), Mao (Stochastic Process. Appl. 79 (1999) 45), Mao et al. (Bernoulli 6 (2000) 73...

An axiomatic concept of quantum eld theory stochastic processes is introduced and some elementary properties of them are presented. The existence of the trace processes connected to Gibbs random elds obtained in Euclidean Quantum Field Theory is discussed. For particular twodimensional interactions the Markov property and continuity of paths of the corresponding trace processes have been obtain...

Let X be the solution of an Itô di erential equation with jumps over R. Under some auxiliary assumptions on the parameters of the equation, we characterize the support of the law of X in the Skorohod space D as the closure of the set of solutions to piecewise ordinary di erential equations. This gives an analogue in the Poisson space to the classical Stroock–Varadhan support theorem. c © 2000 P...
