On the basis of binary perfectly inelastic collision theory, the time evolutions of kinetic energy and surface area for a particle agglomerate system, due to Brownian motion, are investigated by using the Taylor series expansion technology. The asymptotic behaviors over a long time period show a significantly negative power function of time. The thermodynamic constraints of this system are then obtained according to the principle of maximum entropy, which establishes a relationship of inequality between the first three particle moments and some physical parameters (i.e., surface tension and temperature). In the thermodynamic equilibrium state, this function provides a new approach for estimating the effect of molecular structure on surface tension of liquid polymers.

The multi-sensor information fusion particle filter (PF) has been put forward for nonlinear systems with correlated noises. The proposed algorithm uses the Taylor series expansion method, which makes the nonlinear measurement functions have a linear relationship by the intermediary function. A weighted measurement fusion PF (WMF-PF) was put forward for systems with correlated noises by applying the full rank decomposition and the weighted least square theory. Compared with the augmented optimal centralized fusion particle filter (CF-PF), it could greatly reduce the amount of calculation. Moreover, it showed asymptotic optimality as the Taylor series expansion increased. The simulation examples illustrate the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed algorithm.

Series Expansion Method

Chebyshev polynomial approximation is an effective method to study the stochastic bifurcation and chaos. However, due to irrational and fractional expressions existing in the denominator of some mechanical systems, the integral process is very complicated. The Taylor series expansion is proposed to expand the irrational and fractional expressions into a series of polynomials. Smooth and discontinuous oscillator was taken as an example, and the results show that the Taylor series expansion method is acceptable. The rub-impact force was taken as another example. Numerical results indicate that the method is suitable for the rub-impact rotor system.

Alternative Approach

Energy eigenvalues of quartic and sextic type anharmonic potentials are obtained by using an alternative method called asymptotic Taylor expansion method (ATEM) which is an approximate approach based on the asymptotic Taylor series expansion of a function. It is shown that the energy eigenvalues found by ATEM are in excellent agreement with the existing results.

Summary Downward continuation is a very useful technique in the interpretation of potential field data. It would enhance the short wavelength of the gravity anomalies or accentuate the details of the source distribution. Taylor series expansion method has been proposed to be one of the best downward continued methods. However, the method using high-order vertical derivatives leads to low accuracy and instability results in many cases. In this paper, we propose a new method using a combination of Taylor series expansion and upward continuation for computing vertical derivatives. This method has been tested on the gravitational anomaly of infinite horizontal cylinder in both cases with and without random noise for higher accurate and stable than Hilbert transform method and Laplace equation method, especially in the case of noise input data. This vertical derivative method is applied successfully to calculate the downward continuation according to Taylor series expansion method. The downward continuation is also tested on both complex synthetic models and real data in the East Vietnam Sea (South China Sea). The results reveal that by calculating this new vertical derivative, the downward continuation method gave higher accurate and stable than the previous downward continuation methods.
