ON THE CHERNOUS'KO TIME-OPTIMAL PROBLEM FOR THE EQUATION OF HEAT CONDUCTIVITY IN A ROD

The time-optimal problem for the controllable equation of heat conductivity in a rod is considered. By means of the Fourier expansion, the problem reduced to a countable system of one-dimensional control systems with a combined constraint joining control parameters in one relation. In order to improve the time of a suboptimal control constructed by F.L. Chernous'ko, a method of  grouping coupled terms of the Fourier expansion of a control function is applied, and a synthesis of the improved suboptimal control is obtained in an explicit form

Four-dimensional brusselator model with periodical solution

In the paper, a four-dimensional model of cyclic reactions of the type Prigogine's Brusselator is considered. It is shown that the corresponding dynamical system does not have a closed trajectory in the positive orthant that will make it inadequate with the main property of chemical reactions of Brusselator type. Therefore, a new modified Brusselator model is proposed in the form of a four-dimensional dynamic system. Also, the existence of a closed trajectory is proved by the DN-tracking method for a certain value of the parameter which expresses the rate of addition one of the reagents to the reaction from an external source
