We establish general conditions for the unique solvability of nonlinear measure functional differential equations in terms of properties of suitable linear majorants
Simple Geometric Approach of Identification and Control Using Floating Basis Vectors for Representation
As a plausible alternative of certain sophisticated soft computing approaches trying to identify complete and static system models, a simple adaptive controller is outlined that creates only a temporal model. This model can be built up and maintained step-by-step on the basis of slowly fading information by the use of simple updating rules consisting of finite algebraic steps of lucid geometric interpretation. The method may be used for filling in the lookup tables or rule bases of the above representations
experimentally. The method is tested by the use of a simple dynamic system as a typical paradigm via simulation.N/
Evaluation of the efficiency of vending business and the perspectives of its development in the territory of Tomsk
This article assesses the effectiveness of conducting a vending business in the territory of Tomsk and develops a business plan for creating a network of vending machines for hot drinks. During the study, the authors conducted a sociological survey, the purpose of which was to identify the gastronomic preferences of potential buyers and to determine the presence or absence of demand in the market of vending trade. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of this market niche, possible problems and prospects for its development are considered
A Topos Perspective on the Kochen-Specker Theorem: I. Quantum States as Generalised Valuations
Any attempt to construct a realist interpretation of quantum theory founders on the Kochen-Specker theorem, which asserts the impossibility of assigning values to quantum quantities in a way that preserves functional relations between them. We construct a new type of valuation which is defined on all operators, and which respects an appropriate version of the functional composition principle. The truth-values assigned to propositions are (i) contextual; and (ii) multi-valued, where the space of contexts and the multi-valued logic for each context come naturally from the topos theory of presheaves. The first step in our theory is to demonstrate that the Kochen-Specker theorem is equivalent to the statement that a certain presheaf defined on the category of self-adjoint operators has no global elements. We then show how the use of ideas drawn from the theory of presheaves leads to the definition of a generalised valuation in quantum theory whose values are sieves of operators. In particular, we show how each quantum state leads to such a generalised valuation. A key ingredient throughout is the idea that, in a situation where no normal truth-value can be given to a proposition asserting that the value of a physical quantity A lies in a set D of real numbers , it is nevertheless possible to ascribe a partial truth-value which is determined by the set of all coarse-grained propositions that assert that some function f(A) lies in f(D), and that are true in a normal sense. The set of all such coarse-grainings forms a sieve on the category of self-adjoint operators, and is hence fundamentally related to the theory of presheav
On Nonseparated Three-Point Boundary Value Problems for Linear Functional Differential Equations
For a system of linear functional differential equations, we consider a three-point problem
with nonseparated boundary conditions determined by singular matrices. We show that, to investigate
such a problem, it is often useful to reduce it to a parametric family of two-point boundary
value problems for a suitably perturbed differential system. The auxiliary parametrised two-point
problems are then studied by a method based upon a special kind of successive approximations constructed
explicitly, whereas the values of the parameters that correspond to solutions of the original
problem are found from certain numerical determining equations. We prove the uniform convergence
of the approximations and establish some properties of the limit and determining functions
General conditions guaranteeing the solvability of the Cauchy problem for functional differential equations
summary:New general unique solvability conditions of the Cauchy problem for systems of general linear functional differential equations are established. The class of equations considered covers, in particular, linear equations with transformed argument, integro-differential equations, neutral type equations and their systems of an arbitrary order
