The paper presents a Kalman–type filtering problem for linear stochastic systems subjected both to state–dependent white noise and to Markovian jumps. The results are derived using a unified approach for the continuous–time case and for the discrete-time models of the plant. It is proved that the optimal filters gains depend on the solutions of some specific Riccati-type systems which generalize the well–known equations from the classical Kalman filtering.

This article describes a PC-based teaching module for the classical problem of forced convection over a heated flat plate. The transformed boundary layer equations for an incompressible fluid are solved using a finite-difference numerical procedure on a grid that grows along with the boundary layer. Simple transition and mixing length turbulence models allow the algorithm to be used across a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The program returns a colored contour plot of the thermal boundary layer on the screen and shows the edge of the velocity boundary layer. The effects of the Reynolds number and Prandtl numbers are dramatically demonstrated. The user can use a slider mechanism to take local measurements of the plate temperature and surface temperature gradient, and from these data develop local and overall "virtual" convection correlations.

In this paper, we consider the classical risk model modified in two different ways by the inclusion of a dividend barrier. For Model I, we present numerical algorithms, which can be used to approximate or bound the expected discounted value of dividends up to a finite time horizon, t, or ruin if this occurs earlier. We extend this by requiring the shareholders to provide the initial capital and to pay the deficit at ruin each time it occurs so that the process then continues after ruin up to time t. For Model I, we assume the full premium income is paid as dividends whenever the surplus exceeds a set *** our Model II, we assume dividends are paid at a rate less than the rate of premium income.

A framework is proposed that generalizes describing function (DF) analysis to uncertain systems. By fitting a rational approximation to the DF of nonlinear elements, DF analysis is incorporated into a generalized mu framework of robustness analysis. This allows us to consider uncertainty in both the linear and nonlinear components. Information on the size, frequency, and stability of unforced limit cycles is obtained as in the graphical test. The response to sinusoidal driving inputs can also be analyzed in this framework.

Apparatus for instantaneous regression rate measurements based on a simple plane-capacitor geometry and circuit theory is described, and results from a prototype setup are presented for both metallized and nonmetallized AP composite propellants at p approximate to 1 bar. The experiments show the apparatus is potentially effective as an instantaneous burning rate diagnostic only for the nonmetallized composite propellant. For metallized propellants the technique offers potential as 1) a go/no-go technique and 2) a monitor for the onset of bulk activity inside the gaseous part of the flame. Some tentative general conclusions about the:applicability of electric field diagnostics for solid propellants are suggested.

numerical simulations of high-angle-of-attach flows around slender bodies of revolution are earned out using four different numerical algorithms: a partially flux-split algorithm, the Beam and Warming algorithm in its original and diagonal forms, and an algorithm combining block and diagonal forms. Comparisons of laminar flows at alpha = 20 and 40 deg reveal that the diagonal algorithm fails to conserve symmetry at high angles of attack and a spurious asymmetry is developed, The source of the spurious asymmetry has been traced and found to be inherent to the diagonalization process.

A continuous adjoint approach is developed to obtain the sensitivity derivatives for the Euler equations, The complete derivation of the costate equations and their transversality (boundary) conditions are presented. Both the state and the costate equations are second-order finite volume discretized fur unstructured meshes, and they are coupled with a constrained optimization algorithm. Also integrated into the overall methodology are a geometry parameterization method for the shape optimization, and a dynamic unstructured mesh method fur the shape evolution and the consequent volume mesh adaptations. For the proof of concept, three transonic airfoil optimization problems are presented. This method accepts general cost functionals, which are not necessarily functions of pressure only. It is also shown that a switch to the natural coordinate system in conjunction with the reduction of the governing state equation to the control surface results in sensitivity integrals that are only a function of the tangential derivatives of the state variables. This approach eliminates the need fur normal derivative computations that can be erroneous.

The solution method for the Lambert problem based on the transverse eccentricity to the case of multiple-revolution transfers, presenting an explicit formulation for the derivative of the transfer time with respect to the transverse eccentricity, is presented. Using the analytical derivative, the multiple revolution solutions can be obtained more efficiently than by means of the numerical difference originally adopted for the transverse eccentricity method. One gets the minimum eccentricity admissible transfer orbit when the transverse eccentricity is equal to zero.

The numerical performance of a new linear matrix inequalities (LMI)-based design technique for robust H2-controller was analyzed for systems with real parametric uncertainty. This technique iterates between solving LMIs for the analysis parameters with the controller values fixed and LMIs for the controller values with the multiplier parameters fixed. A potential advantage of the LMI approach is the low implementation overhead associated with the optimization, especially given the simplicity of current semidefinite programming interfaces. This advantage also simplifies the extension of the algorithm to include more general stability multipliers.
