The paper considers a method for simulating the flight of a multistage rocket in Matlab using Simulink software for control and guidance. The model takes into account the anisotropy of the gravity of the Earth, changes in the pressure and density of the atmosphere, piecewise continuous change of the center of mass and the moment of inertia of the rocket during the flight. Also, the proposed model allows you to work out various targeting options using both onboard and ground‑based information tools, to load information from the ground‑based radar, with imitation of «non‑ideality» of incoming target designations as a result of changes in the accuracy of determining coordinates and speeds, as well as signal fluctuations. It is stipulated that the design is variable not only by the number of steps, but also by their types. The calculations are implemented in a matrix form, which allows parallel operations in each step of processing a multidimensional state vector of the simulated object.

A sound wave propagating in an inhomogeneous duct consisting of two semi-infinite uniform ducts with a smooth transition region in between and which carries a steady flow is considered. The duct walls may be rigid or compliant. For an irrotational sound wave it is shown that the three properties of the title are closely related, such that the validity of any two implies the validity of the third. Furthermore it is shown that the three properties are fulfilled for lossless locally reacting duct walls provided the impedance varies at most continuously. For piecewise-continuous wall properties edge conditions are essential. By an analytic continuation argument it is shown that reciprocity remains true for walls with loss. For rotational flow, energy conservation theorems have been derived only with the help of additional potential-like variables. The inter-relation between the three properties remains valid if one considers these additional variables to be known. If only the basic gasdynamic variables in both half-ducts are known, one cannot formulate an energy conservation equation; however, reciprocity is fulfilled.

Following Brown [1992, 1993] we study maps of the real line into itself obtained from the modified Chua equations. We fix our attention on a one-parameter family of such maps, which seems to be typical. For a large range of parameters, invariant intervals exist. In such an invariant interval, the map is piecewise continuous, with most of pieces of continuity mapped in a monotone way onto the whole interval. However, on the central piece there is a critical point. This allows us to find sometimes a smaller invariant interval on which the map is unimodal. In such a way, we get one-parameter families of smooth unimodal maps, very similar to the well-known family of logistic maps x ↦ ax(1−x). We study more closely one of those and show that these maps have negative Schwarzian derivative. This implies the existence of at most one attracting periodic orbit. Moreover, there is a set of parameters of positive measure for which chaos occurs.
