An infinite-dimensional bilinear optimal control problem with infinite-time horizon is considered. The associated value function can be expanded in a Taylor series around the equilibrium, the Taylor series involving multilinear forms which are uniquely characterized by generalized Lyapunov equations. A numerical method for solving these equations is proposed. It is based on a generalization of ...

This paper examines recursive Taylor methods for multivariate polynomial evaluation over an interval, in the context of algebraic curve and surface plotting as a particular application representative of similar problems in CAGD. The modified affine arithmetic method (MAA), previously shown to be one of the best methods for polynomial evaluation over an interval, is used as a benchmark; experime...

The Gaussian beam superposition method is an asymptotic method for computing high frequency wave fields in smoothly varying inhomogeneous media. In this paper we study the accuracy of the Gaussian beam superposition method and derive error estimates related to the discretization of the superposition integral and the Taylor expansion of the phase and amplitude off the center of the beam. We show...

In this paper, a direct synthesis approach to fractional order controller design Is investigated. The proposed algorithm makes use of Taylor series of both desired closed-loop and actual closed-loop transfer function which is truncated to the first five terms. FOPID Controller parameters are synthesized in order to match the closed-loop response of the plant to the desired closed-loop response....

We discuss the phase structure and the equation of state for QCD at non-zero temperature and density. Derivatives of lnZ with respect to quark chemical potential μq up to fourth order are calculated for 2-flavor QCD, enabling estimates of the pressure, quark number density and associated susceptibilities as functions of μq via a Taylor series expansion. Also, the phase transition line for 2 and...

We demonstrate that soft SUSY breaking introduced via replacement of the couplings of a rigid theory by spurion superfields has far reaching consequences. Substituting these modified couplings into renormalization constants, RG equations, solutions to these equations, fixed points, finiteness conditions, etc., one can get corresponding relations for the soft terms by a simple Taylor expansion o...

We describe a new method for analyzing, classifying, and evaluating filters that can be applied to interpolation filters as well as to arbitrary derivative filters of any order. Our analysis is based on the Taylor series expansion of the convolution sum. Our analysis shows the need and derives the method for the normalization of derivative filter weights. Under certain minimal restrictions of t...

The paper revisits the well-known spectral transforms of a Boolean function, emphasizing on the fact that ReedMuller, arithmetic and Walsh spectra can be calculated through boolean difference, and arithmetical and Walsh analogs of it. This techniques is called Taylor technique, by analogy with Taylor series which coefficients are differences, or differentials. The algorithms are perfectly imple...

An overview of the background of Taylor series methods and the utilization of the differential algebraic structure is given, and various associated techniques are reviewed. The conventional Taylor methods are extended to allow for a rigorous treatment of bounds for the remainder of the expansion in a similarly universal way. Utilizing differential algebraic and functional analytic arguments on ...
