Abstract In this paper we introduce the hierarchical B-spline complex of discrete differential forms for arbitrary spatial dimension. This complex may be applied to the adaptive isogeometric solution of problems arising in electromagnetics and fluid mechanics. We derive a sufficient and necessary condition guaranteeing exactness of the hierarchical B-spline complex for arbitrary spatial dimension, and we derive a set of local, easy-to-compute and sufficient exactness conditions for the two-dimensional setting. We examine the stability properties of the hierarchical B-spline complex, and we find that it yields stable approximations of both the Maxwell eigenproblem and Stokes problem provided that the local exactness conditions are satisfied. We conclude by providing numerical results showing the promise of the hierarchical B-spline complex in an adaptive isogeometric solution framework.

The consensus problems of two situations for singular multi-agent systems with fixed topology are discussed: directed graph without spanning tree and the disconnected undirected graph. A sufficient and necessary condition is obtained by applying the stability theory and the system is reachable asymptotically. But for normal systems, this can’t occur in upper two situations. Finally a simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of our theoretical result.

Dynamic stability of a general nonconservative system of n degrees of freedom is investigated. A sufficient and necessary condition for the stability of such a system is developed. It represents a simplified criterion based on the famous Lyapunov’s theorem which is proved afresh using λ-matrix methods only. When this criterion is adopted, it reduces the number of equations in Lyapunov’s method to less than half. A systematic procedure is then suggested for the stability investigation and its use is illustrated through a numerical example at the end of the paper.

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the problem of coning motion stability of spinning missiles equipped with strapdown seekers. During model derivation, it is found that the scaling factor error between the strapdown seeker and the onboard gyro introduces an undesired parasitic loop in the guidance system and, therefore, results in stability issues. Through stability analysis, a sufficient and necessary condition for the stability of spinning missiles with strapdown seekers is proposed analytically. Theoretical and numerical results reveal that the scaling factor error, spinning rate and navigation ratio play important roles in stable regions of the guidance system. Consequently, autopilot gains must be checked carefully to satisfy the stability conditions.

AbstractThis article is about the interplay between topological dynamics and differential geometry. One could ask how much information about the geometry is carried in the dynamics of the geodesic flow. It was proved in Paternain [Expansive geodesic flows on surfaces. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.13 (1993), 153–165] that an expansive geodesic flow on a surface implies that there exist no conjugate points. Instead of considering concepts that relate to chaotic behavior (such as expansiveness), we focus on notions for describing the stability of orbits in dynamical systems, specifically, equicontinuity and distality. In this paper we give a new sufficient and necessary condition for a compact Riemannian surface to have all geodesics closed; this is the idea of a P-manifold: (M,g) is a P-manifold if and only if the geodesic flow SM×ℝ→SM is equicontinuous. We also prove a weaker theorem for flows on manifolds of dimension three. Finally, we discuss some properties of equicontinuous geodesic flows on non-compact surfaces and on higher-dimensional manifolds.

1-bit compressing sensing (CS) is an important class of sparse optimization problems. This paper focuses on the stability theory for 1-bit CS with quadratic constraint. The model is rebuilt by reformulating sign measurements by linear equality and inequality constraints, and the quadratic constraint with noise is approximated by polytopes to any level of accuracy. A new concept called restricted weak RSP of a transposed sensing matrix with respect to the measurement vector is introduced. Our results show that this concept is a sufficient and necessary condition for the stability of 1-bit CS without noise and is a sufficient condition if the noise is available.

AbstractLet f be a Cr (r ≥ 0) map from the interval [0, 1] into itself and m be a positive integer. This paper gives a sufficient and necessary condition under which the set of periodic points of period m disappears after a certain small Cr-perturbation.

Abstract Quantum magnets provide the simplest example of strongly interacting quantum matter, yet they continue to resist a comprehensive understanding above one spatial dimension. We explore a promising framework in two dimensions, the Dirac spin liquid (DSL) — quantum electrodynamics (QED3) with 4 Dirac fermions coupled to photons. Importantly, its excitations include magnetic monopoles that drive confinement. We address previously open key questions — the symmetry actions on monopoles on square, honeycomb, triangular and kagome lattices. The stability of the DSL is enhanced on triangular and kagome lattices compared to bipartite (square and honeycomb) lattices. We obtain the universal signatures of the DSL on triangular and kagome lattices, including those of monopole excitations, as a guide to numerics and experiments on existing materials. Even when unstable, the DSL helps unify and organize the plethora of ordered phases in correlated two-dimensional materials.

Abstract In this study, we obtain the scalar and matrix exponential functions through a series of quaternion-valued functions on time scales. A sufficient and necessary condition is established to guarantee that the induced matrix is real-valued for the complex adjoint matrix of a quaternion matrix. Moreover, the Cauchy matrices and Liouville formulas for the quaternion homogeneous and nonhomogeneous impulsive dynamic equations are given and proved. Based on it, the existence, uniqueness, and expressions of their solutions are also obtained, including their scalar and matrix forms. Since the quaternion algebra is noncommutative, many concepts and properties of the non-quaternion impulsive dynamic equations are ineffective, we provide several examples and counterexamples on various time scales to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
