Almost sure exponential stability of the Euler–Maruyama approximations for stochastic functional differential equations

By the continuous and discrete nonnegative semimartingale convergence theorems, this paper investigates conditions under which the Euler–Maruyama (EM) approximations of stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs) can share the almost sure exponential stability of the exact solution. Moreover, for sufficiently small stepsize, the decay rate as measured by the Lyapunov exponent can be reproduced arbitrarily accurately

Suppression of nonlinear oscillations in combustors with partial length acoustic liners

An analytical model is formulated for a three-dimensional nonlinear stability problem in a rocket motor combustion chamber. The chamber is modeled as a right circular cylinder with a short (multi-orifice) nozzle, and an acoustic linear covering an arbitrary portion of the cylindrical periphery. The combustion is concentrated at the injector and the gas flow field is characterized by a mean Mach number. The unsteady combustion processes are formulated using the Crocco time lag model. The resulting equations are solved using a Green's function method combined with numerical evaluation techniques. The influence of acoustic liners on the nonlinear waveforms is predicted. Nonlinear stability limits and regions where triggering is possible are also predicted for both lined and unlined combustors in terms of the combustion parameters

Convergence analysis of collocation methods for computing periodic solutions of retarded functional differential equations

2noWe analyze the convergence of piecewise collocation methods for computing periodic solutions of general retarded functional differential equations under the abstract framework recently developed in [S. Maset, Numer. Math., 133 (2016), pp. 525-555], [S. Maset, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 53 (2015), pp. 2771-2793], and [S. Maset, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 53 (2015), pp. 2794-2821]. We rigorously show that a reformulation as a boundary value problem requires a proper infinite-dimensional boundary periodic condition in order to be amenable to such analysis. In this regard, we also highlight the role of the period acting as an unknown parameter, which is critical since it is directly linked to the course of time. Finally, we prove that the finite element method is convergent, while we limit ourselves to commenting on the infeasibility of this approach as far as the spectral element method is concerned.openopenANDO A.; BREDA D.Ando, A.; Breda, D

Stabilization via delay feedback for highly nonlinear stochastic time-varying delay systems with Markovian switching and Poisson jump

Little work seems to be known about stabilization results of highly nonlinear stochastic time-varying delay systems (STVDSs) with Markovian switching and Poisson jump. This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem for a class of STVDSs with Markovian switching and Poisson jump. The coefficients of such systems do not satisfy the conventional linear growth conditions, but are subject to high nonlinearity. The aim of this paper is to design a delay feedback controller to make an unstable highly nonlinear STVDSs with Markovian switching and Poisson jump H∞-stable and asymptotically stable. Besides, an illustrative example is provided to support the theoretical results

Mean Square Polynomial Stability of Numerical Solutions to a Class of Stochastic Differential Equations

The exponential stability of numerical methods to stochastic differential equations (SDEs) has been widely studied. In contrast, there are relatively few works on polynomial stability of numerical methods. In this letter, we address the question of reproducing the polynomial decay of a class of SDEs using the Euler--Maruyama method and the backward Euler--Maruyama method. The key technical contribution is based on various estimates involving the gamma function
