AbstractA review of the stability theory of symmetrizable time-dependent difference schemes is represented. The notion of the operator-difference scheme is introduced and general ideas about stability in the sense of the initial data and in the sense of the right hand side are formulated. Further, the so-called symmetrizable difference schemes are considered in detail for which we manage to formulate the unimprovable necessary and su±cient conditions of stability in the sense of the initial data. The schemes with variable weight multipliers are a typical representative of symmetrizable difference schemes. For such schemes a numerical algorithm is proposed and realized for constructing stability boundaries.

We study the stability characteristics of zero-velocity gap solitons in dual-core Bragg gratings with cubic-quintic nonlinearity and dispersive reflectivity. The model supports two disjointed families of gap solitons (Type 1 and Type 2). Additionally, asymmetric and symmetric solitons exist in both Type 1 and Type 2 families. A comprehensive numerical stability analysis is performed to analyze the stability of solitons. It is found that dispersive reflectivity improves the stability of both types of solitons. Nontrivial stability boundaries have been identified within the bandgap for each family of solitons. The effects and interplay of dispersive reflectivity and the coupling coefficient on the stability regions are also analyzed.

In this paper, we consider an infinite-dimensional extension of Chua's circuit (Fig. 1) obtained by replacing the left portion of the circuit composed of the capacitance C2 and the inductance L by a lossless transmission line as shown in Fig. 2. As we shall see, if the remaining capacitance C1 is equal to zero, the dynamics of this so-called time-delayed Chua's circuit can be reduced to that of a scalar nonlinear difference equation. After deriving the corresponding 1-D map, it will be possible to determine without any approximation the analytical equation of the stability boundaries of cycles of every period n. Since the stability region is nonempty for each n, this proves rigorously that the time-delayed Chua's circuit exhibits the "period-adding" phenomenon where every two consecutive cycles are separated by a chaotic region.

Abstract In this work we investigate the following quasiperiodic Mathieu equation: x ¨ + ( δ + ϵ cos ⁡ t + ϵ cos ⁡ ω t ) x = 0 We use numerical integration to determine regions of stability in the δ–ω plane for fixed ϵ. Graphs of these stability regions are presented, based on extensive computation. In addition, we use perturbations to obtain approximations for the stability regions near δ=14 for small ω, and we compare the results with those of direct numerical integration.

The variational equations and the evolution matrix are introduced and used to discuss the stability of a bound Hamiltonian trajectory. Singular-value decomposition is applied to the evolution matrix. Singular values and Lyapunov exponents are defined and their properties described. The singular-value expansion of the phase-space velocity is derived. Singular values and Lyapunov exponents are used to characterize the stability behaviour of five simple systems, namely, the nonlinear oscillator with cubic anharmonicity, the quasi-periodic Mathieu equation, the Hénon-Heilesmodel, the 4+2 linear chain with cubic anharmonicity, and an integrable system of arbitrary order.PACS Nos.: 03.20, 05.20

AbstractThe stability and natural vibration of a standing tapered vertical column under its own weight are studied. Exact stability criteria are found for the pointy column and numerical stability boundaries are determined for the blunt tipped column. For vibrations we use an accurate, efficient initial value numerical method for the first three frequencies. Four kinds of columns with linear taper are considered. Both the taper and the cross section shape of the column have large influences on the vibration frequencies. It is found that gravity decreases the frequency while the degree of taper may increase or decrease frequency. Vibrations may occur in two different planes.

In this brief note, the effects of model reduction on the stability boundaries of control systems with parameter variations, and the limit-cycle characteristics of nonlinear control systems are investigated. In order to reduce these effects, a method of model reduction is used which can approximate the original transfer function at S=0, S=∞, and also match some selected points on the frequency response curve of the original transfer function. Examples are given, and comparisons with the methods given in current literature are made.


Belt conveying of bulk materials has evolved to the point where the demands of the modern mine to increase capacity is limited by the ability of engineers to design dynamically stable conveyors. Belt speed and width are two parameters that may be varied in the design to provide the required material flow rate. For certain values of belt speed, width and tension, unstable transverse belt vibration has been observed. Large-amplitude vibration may be so severe that the life of the supporting idler bearings is reduced significantly due to dynamic loads. Monitoring idlers for bearing failure in modern conveyors with lengths up to 20 km is practically difficult since there may be as many as 20000 idler sets. Chaotic transverse belt vibrations occur for certain levels of excitation, further complicating the prediction of bearing life. Before conveyor installation, an estimate of the stability boundaries for resonance-free operation is an essential precursor to failure-free conveyor operation. Nonlinear resonance phenomena such as belt flap is sensitive to initial conditions. The effects of chaotic vibrations on the predictability of design stability is reviewed using some examples of forced vibrations.

In this paper, the parametric stability of axially accelerating viscoelastic beams is revisited. The effects of the longitudinally varying tension due to the axial acceleration are highlighted, while the tension was approximately assumed to be longitudinally uniform in previous studies. The dependence of the tension on the finite support rigidity is also considered. The generalized Hamilton principle and the Kelvin viscoelastic constitutive relation are applied to establish the governing equations and the associated boundary conditions for coupled planar motion of the beam. The governing equations are linearized into the governing equation in the transverse direction and the expression of the longitudinally varying tension. The method of multiple scales is employed to analyze the parametric stability of transverse motion. The stability boundaries are derived from the solvability conditions and the Routh-Hurwitz criterion for principal and sum resonances. In terms of stability boundaries, the governing equations with or without the longitudinal variance of tension are compared and the effects of the finite support rigidity are also examined. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effects of the stiffness, the viscosity, and the mean axial speed on the stability boundaries. The differential quadrature scheme is developed to numerically solve the governing equation, and the computational results confirm the outcomes of the method of multiple scales.
