On Period and Burst Histories of AXPs and SGRs and the Possible Evolution of these Objects on the P-Pdot Diagram
In this paper, timing data for all of the anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft
gamma repeaters are compiled. Timing properties of these objects are
investigated. The effect of bursts of soft gamma repeaters on their period
history is investigated. The P-Pdot diagram for pulsars, X-ray binaries,
anomalous X-ray pulsars, soft gamma repeaters and dim radio quiet netron stars
is constructed. The possible evolutionary tracks for anomalous X-ray pulsars,
soft gamma repeaters and dim radio quiet netron stars are examined.Comment: 66 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Turkish Journal of Physic
Multi Input Dynamical Modeling of Heat Flow With Uncertain Diffusivity Parameter
Cataloged from PDF version of article.This paper focuses on the multi-input dynamical modeling of one-dimensional heat conduction process with uncertainty on thermal diffusivity parameter. Singular value decomposition is used to extract the most significant modes. The results of the spatiotemporal decomposition have been used in cooperation with Galerkin projection to obtain the set of ordinary differential equations, the solution of which synthesizes the temporal variables. The spatial properties have been generalized through a series of test cases and a low order model has been obtained. Since the value of the thermal diffusivity parameter is not known perfectly, the obtained model contains uncertainty. The paper describes how the uncertainty is modeled and how the boundary conditions are separated from the remaining terms of the dynamical equations. The results have been compared with those obtained through analytic solution
Incumbency advantage is not restricted to established majoritarian systems
To date, most scholarly works have focused on incumbency advantage in the US and consider how it operates in majoritarian contexts. In a recent paper, Mert Moral, H. Ege Ozen and Efe Tokdemir drew on the case of Turkey to explore whether the incumbency operates in multi member district systems. They found that although it is not as marked as in the US context, considerable incumbency advantage persisted in the more proportional system
Early phases of different types of isolated neutron star
Two Galactic isolated strong X-ray pulsars seem to be in the densest
environments compared to other types of Galactic pulsar. X-ray pulsar
J1846-0258 can be in an early phase of anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma
repeaters if its average braking index is ~1.8-2.0. X-ray pulsar J1811-1925
must have a very large average braking index (n~11) if this pulsar was formed
by SN 386AD. This X-ray pulsar can be in an early phase of evolution of the
radio pulsars located in the region P~50-150 ms and \.{P}~10
s/s of the P-\.{P} diagram. X-ray/radio pulsar J0540-69 seems to be evolving in
the direction to the dim isolated thermal neutron star region on the P-\.{P}
diagram. Possible progenitors of different types of neutron star are also
discussed.Comment: to appear in the International Journal of Modern Physics
Low dimensional modelling and Dirichlét boundary controller design for Burgers equation
Modelling and boundary control for the Burgers equation is studied in this paper. Modelling has been done via processing of numerical observations through proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with Galerkin projection. This results in a set of spatial basis functions together with a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) describing the temporal evolution. Since the dynamics described by the Burgers equation are non-linear, the corresponding reduced-order dynamics turn out to be non-linear. The presented analysis explains how the free boundary condition appears as a control input in the ODEs and how controller design can be accomplished. The issues of control system synthesis are discussed from the point of practicality, performance and robustness. The numerical results obtained are in good compliance with the theoretical claims. A comparison of various different approaches is presented. © 2004 Taylor and Francis Ltd
Proper orthogonal decomposition for reduced order modeling: 2D heat flow
Modeling issues of infinite dimensional systems is studied in this paper. Although the modeling problem has been solved to some extent, use of decomposition techniques still pose several difficulties. A prime one of this is the amount of data to be processed. Method of snapshots integrated with POD is a remedy. The second difficulty is the fact that the decomposition followed by a projection yields an autonomous set of finite dimensional ODEs that is not useful for developing a concise understanding of the input operator of the system. A numerical approach to handle this issue is presented in this paper. As the example, we study 2D heat flow problem. The results obtained confirm the theoretical claims of the paper and emphasize that the technique presented here is not only applicable to infinite dimensional linear systems but also to nonlinear ones

Integral action based Dirichlét boundary control of Burgers equation
Modeling and boundary control for Burgers Equation is studied in this paper. Modeling has been done via processing of numerical observations through singular value decomposition with Galerkin projection. This results in a set of spatial basis functions together with a set of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) describing the temporal evolution. Since the dynamics described by Burgers equation is nonlinear, the corresponding reduced order dynamics turn out to be nonlinear. The presented analysis explains how boundary condition appears as a control input in the ODEs. The controller design is based on the linearization of the dynamic model. It has been demonstrated that an integral controller, whose gain is a function of the spatial variable, is sufficient to observe reasonably high tracking performance with a high degree of robustness
