This paper is concerned with a formula of stability radii for a linear implicit difference equation (LIDEs for short) varying in time with index-1 under structured parameter perturbations. It is shown that the lp-real and complex stability radii of these systems coincide and they are given by a formula of input-output operators. The result is an extension of a previous result for time-varying ordinary differential equations [7].

AbstractWe develop the theory of p-adic confluence of q-difference equations. The main result is the fact that, in the p-adic framework, a function is a (Taylor) solution of a differential equation if and only if it is a solution of a q-difference equation. This fact implies an equivalence, called confluence, between the category of differential equations and those of q-difference equations. We develop this theory by introducing a category of sheaves on the disk D−(1,1), for which the stalk at 1 is a differential equation, the stalk at q isa q-difference equation if q is not a root of unity, and the stalk at a root of unity ξ is a mixed object, formed by a differential equation and an action of σξ.

Difference equations have a wide variety of applications, including fluid flow analysis, wave propagation, circuit theory, the study of traffic patterns, queueing analysis, diffusion theory, and many others. Besides these applications, studies into the analogy between ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and difference equations have been a favourite topic of mathematicians (e.g. see [1] and [2]). These applications and studies bring to light the similar character of the solutions of a difference equation with a fixed step size and a corresponding ODE.Also, an important numerical technique for solving both ordinary and partial differential equations (PDEs) is the method of finite differences [3], whereby a difference equation with a small step size is utilised to obtain a numerical solution of a differential equation. In this paper, elements of both of these ideas will be used to solve some intriguing problems in pure and applied mathematics.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to build a linear time-varying discrete Verhulst model (LTDVM), to realise the convert from continuous forms to discrete forms, and to eliminate traditional grey Verhulst model's error caused by difference equations directly jumping to differential equations. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology of the paper is by the light of discrete thoughts and countdown to the original data sequence. Findings – The research of this model manifests that LTDVM is unbiased on the “s” sequential simulation. Practical implications – The example analysis shows that LTDVM embodies simulation and prediction with high precision. Originality/value – This paper is to realise the convert from continuous forms to discrete forms, and to eliminate traditional grey Verhulst model's error caused by difference equations directly jumping to differential equations. Meanwhile, the research of this model manifests that LTDVM is unbiased on the “s” sequential simulation.

Paragliding is an adventure and fascinating sport of flying paragliders. Paragliders can be launched by running from a slope or by a winch force from towing vehicles, using gravity forces as the motor for the motion of flying. This motion is governed by the gravity forces as well as time-varying aerodynamic ones which depend on the states of the motion of paraglider at each instant of time. There are few published articles considering mechanical problems of paragliders in their various flying situations. This article represents the mathematical modeling and simulation of several common flying situations of a paraglider through establishing and solving the governing differential equations in state-space. Those flying situations include the ones with constant headwind/tailwind with or without constant upwind; the ones with different scenario for the variations of headwind and tailwind combined with the upwind; the ones with varying pilot mass; and the ones whose several parameters are in the form of interval quantities. The simulations were conducted using a powerful Julia toolkit called DifferentialEquations.jl. The obtained results in each situation are discussed, and some recommendations are presented. Keywords: paraglider; simulation; modeling; state-space; ordinary differential equations; Julia; DifferentialEquations.jl

Nonlinear physical systems frequently perform around constant non-zero input-output operating conditions. This local behavior can be modeled using port-based nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). An ODE local solution around an specific input-output operating point can be obtained through the Volterra transfer function (VTF) model. In a past work a procedure for obtaining MIMO Volterra models from port-based nonlinear ODEs was presented. This previous work considered only systems operating at zero input-output conditions subject to linear inputs. In this work the process for obtaining MIMO Volterra transfer functions is extended for systems operating at non-zero input-output conditions. This extension also allows systems that are nonlinear functions of their inputs and input derivatives.
