Purpose For eigenvalue problems containing uncertain inputs characterized by fuzzy basic parameters, first-order perturbation methods have been developed to extract eigen-solutions, but either the result accuracy or the computational efficiency of these methods is less satisfactory. This paper presents an efficient method for estimation of fuzzy eigenvalues with high accuracy. Design/methodology/approach Based on the first order derivatives of eigenvalues and modes with respect to the fuzzy basic parameters, expressions of the second order derivatives of eigenvalues are formulated. Then a second-order perturbation method is introduced to provide more accurate fuzzy eigenvalue solutions. Only one eigenvalue solution is sought for the perturbed formulation, and quadratic programming is performed to simplify the alpha-level optimization. Findings Fuzzy natural frequencies and buckling loads of some structures are estimated with good accuracy, illustrating the high computational efficiency of the proposed method. Originality/value Up to the second order derivatives of the eigenvalues with respect to the basic parameters are represented in functional forms, which are used to introduce a second-order perturbation method for treatment of fuzzy eigenvalue problems. The corresponding alpha-level optimization is thus simplified into quadratic programming. The proposed method provides much more accurate interval solutions at alpha-cuts for the membership functions of fuzzy eigenvalues. Analogously, third- and higher-order perturbation methods can be developed for more stringent accuracy demands or for the treatment of stronger nonlinearity. The present work can be applied to realistic structural analysis in civil engineering, especially for those structures made of dispersed materials such as concrete and soil.

The present study deals with the response of a forced nonlinear Mathieu equation. The equation considered has parametric excitation at the same frequency as direct forcing and also has cubic nonlinearity and damping. A second-order perturbation analysis using the method of multiple scales unfolds numerous resonance cases and system behavior that were not uncovered using first-order expansions. All resonance cases are analyzed. We numerically plot the frequency response of the system. The existence of a superharmonic resonance at one third the natural frequency was uncovered analytically for linear system. (This had been seen previously in numerical simulations but was not captured in the first-order expansion.) The effect of different parameters on the response of the system previously investigated are revisited.

AbstractThis article offers a study of the Calderón type inverse problem of determining up to second order coefficients of higher order elliptic operators. Here we show that it is possible to determine an anisotropic second order perturbation given by a symmetric matrix, along with a first order perturbation given by a vector field and a zero-th order potential function inside a bounded domain, by measuring the Dirichlet to Neumann map of the perturbed biharmonic operator on the boundary of that domain.

Pariser–Parr–Pople-type SCF MO calculations with the electron correlation effect given by the Brillouin-Wigner second-order perturbation method with Epstein–Nesbet energy denominators and by the Pople–Seeger–Krishnan correction show that the symmetry rule for bond distortions in conjugated hydrocarbons is effective for predicting the geometrical structures of [4 n+2]annulenes.

A balanced treatment of dynamic and static electron correlation is important in computational chemistry, and multireference perturbation theory (MRPT) is able to do this at a reasonable computational cost. In this paper, analytic first-order derivatives, speci cally gradients and dipole moments, are developed for a particular MRPT method, state-specific partially contracted n-electron valence state second-order perturbation theory (PC-NEVPT2). Only one linear equation needs to be solved for the derivative calculation if the Z-vector method is employed, which facilitates the practical application of this approach. Comparison of the calculated results with experimental geometrical parameters of O<sub>3</sub> indicates excellent agreement, although the calculated results for O<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> are slightly outside the experimental error bars. The 0-0 transition energies of various methylpyrimidines and trans-polyacetylene are calculated by performing geometry optimizations and seminumerical second-order geometrical derivative calculations. In particular, the deviations of 0-0 transition energies of trans-polyacetylene from experimental values are consistently less than 0.1 eV with PC-NEVPT2, indicating the reliability of the method. These results demonstrate the importance of adding dynamic electron correlation on top of methods dominated by static electron correlation and of developing analytic derivatives for highly accurate methods.
