Optimal Stabilization using Lyapunov Measures
Numerical solutions for the optimal feedback stabilization of discrete time
dynamical systems is the focus of this paper. Set-theoretic notion of almost
everywhere stability introduced by the Lyapunov measure, weaker than
conventional Lyapunov function-based stabilization methods, is used for optimal
stabilization. The linear Perron-Frobenius transfer operator is used to pose
the optimal stabilization problem as an infinite dimensional linear program.
Set-oriented numerical methods are used to obtain the finite dimensional
approximation of the linear program. We provide conditions for the existence of
stabilizing feedback controls and show the optimal stabilizing feedback control
can be obtained as a solution of a finite dimensional linear program. The
approach is demonstrated on stabilization of period two orbit in a controlled
standard map
Boussinesq-type equations from nonlinear realizations of
We construct new coset realizations of infinite-dimensional linear
symmetry associated with Zamolodchikov's algebra which are
different from the previously explored Toda realization of
. We deduce the Boussinesq and modified Boussinesq equations as
constraints on the geometry of the corresponding coset manifolds.The main
characteristic features of these realizations are:i. Among the coset parameters
there are the space and time coordinates and which enter the Boussinesq
equations, all other coset parameters are regarded as fields depending on these
coordinates;ii. The spin 2 and 3 currents of and two spin 1 Kac-
Moody currents as well as two spin 0 fields related to the currents via
Miura maps, come out as the only essential parameters-fields of these cosets.
The remaining coset fields are covariantly expressed through them;iii.The Miura
maps get a new geometric interpretation as covariant constraints
which relate the above fields while passing from one coset manifold to another;
iv. The Boussinesq equation and two kinds of the modified Boussinesq equations
appear geometrically as the dynamical constraints accomplishing
covariant reductions of original coset manifolds to their two-dimensional
geodesic submanifolds;v. The zero-curvature representations for these equations
arise automatically as a consequence of the covariant reduction. The approach
proposed could provide a universal geometric description of the relationship
between -type algebras and integrable hierarchies.Comment: 23 pages, LaTe
Continuity argument revisited: geometry of root clustering via symmetric products
We study the spaces of polynomials stratified into the sets of polynomial
with fixed number of roots inside certain semialgebraic region , on its
border, and at the complement to its closure. Presented approach is a
generalisation, unification and development of several classical approaches to
stability problems in control theory: root clustering (-stability) developed
by R.E. Kalman, B.R. Barmish, S. Gutman et al., -decomposition(Yu.I.
Neimark, B.T. Polyak, E.N. Gryazina) and universal parameter space method(A.
Fam, J. Meditch, J.Ackermann).
Our approach is based on the interpretation of correspondence between roots
and coefficients of a polynomial as a symmetric product morphism.
We describe the topology of strata up to homotopy equivalence and, for many
important cases, up to homeomorphism. Adjacencies between strata are also
described. Moreover, we provide an explanation for the special position of
classical stability problems: Hurwitz stability, Schur stability,
hyperbolicity.Comment: 45 pages, 4 figure
Hamiltonian dynamics of the two-dimensional lattice phi^4 model
The Hamiltonian dynamics of the classical model on a two-dimensional
square lattice is investigated by means of numerical simulations. The
macroscopic observables are computed as time averages. The results clearly
reveal the presence of the continuous phase transition at a finite energy
density and are consistent both qualitatively and quantitatively with the
predictions of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The Hamiltonian microscopic
dynamics also exhibits critical slowing down close to the transition. Moreover,
the relationship between chaos and the phase transition is considered, and
interpreted in the light of a geometrization of dynamics.Comment: REVTeX, 24 pages with 20 PostScript figure
N=2 Super - Algebra and N=2 Super Boussinesq Equations
We study classical super- algebra and its interplay with
supersymmetric extensions of the Boussinesq equation in the framework of the
nonlinear realization method and the inverse Higgs - covariant reduction
approach. These techniques have been previously applied by us in the bosonic
case to give a new geometric interpretation of the Boussinesq hierarchy.
Here we deduce the most general super Boussinesq equation and two kinds
of the modified super Boussinesq equations, as well as the super Miura
maps relating these systems to each other, by applying the covariant reduction
to certain coset manifolds of linear super- symmetry
associated with super-. We discuss the integrability properties of
the equations obtained and their correspondence with the formulation based on
the notion of the second hamiltonian structure.Comment: LaTeX, 30
