this study proposes a new linear approximation for solving the dynamic response equations of a rocking rigid block. linearization assumptions which have already been used by hounser and other researchers cannot be valid for all rocking blocks with various slenderness ratios and dimensions; hence, developing new methods which can result in better approximation of governing equations while keepin...

This paper concerns the application of reduced order modeling techniques to power grid simulation. Swing dynamics is a complex non-linear phenomenon due to which model order reduction of these problems is intricate. A multi point linearization based model reduction technique trajectory piece-wise linearization (TPWL) method is adopted to address the problem of approximating the nonlinear term i...

In this paper, a class of generalized general mixed quasi variational inequalities is introduced and studied. We prove the existence of the solution of the auxiliary problem for the generalized general mixed quasi variational inequalities, suggest a predictor-corrector method for solving the generalized general mixed quasi variational inequalities by using the auxiliary principle technique. If ...

A novel Integrated Robust Optimal Design (IROD) methodology is presented in this work which combines a traditional sensitivity theory with relatively new advancements in Bilinear Matrix Inequality (BMI) constrained optimization problems. IROD provides the least conservative approach for robust control synthesis. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using numerical examples of integrated con...

We introduce quasi-symplectic groupoids and explain their relation with momentum map theories. This approach enables us to unify into a single framework various momentum map theories, including ordinary Hamiltonian G-spaces, Lu’s momentum maps of Poisson group actions, and the group-valued momentum maps of Alekseev–Malkin–Meinrenken. More precisely, we carry out the following program: (1) We de...

We study Siegel’s center problem on the linearization of germs of diffeomorphisms in one variable. In addition of the classical problems of formal and analytic linearization, we give sufficient conditions for the linearization to belong to some algebras of ultradifferentiable germs closed under composition and derivation, including Gevrey classes. In the analytic case we give a positive answer ...

Linearization is the procedure of rewriting a process term into a linear form, which consist only of basic operators of the process language. This procedure is interesting both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. In particular, a linearization algorithm is needed for the Compositional Interchange Format (CIF), an automaton based modeling language. The problem of devising efficient...
