A compact difference scheme derived in (Phillips and Rose, SIAM J. Statist. Comput. 7 , 288 (1986)) for treating the equilibrium equations of elasticity is studied. The scheme truns out to be inconsistent and unstable. A multigrid method which takes into account these properties is described. The solution of the discrete equations, up to the level of discretization errors, is obtained by this method in just 16 work units, where a work unit is the work involved in relaxing the finest grid equations once.

Neural networks have attracted much interest recently, and using parallel architectures to simulate neural networks is a natural and necessary application. The SIMD model of parallel computation is chosen, because systems of this type can be built with large numbers of processing elements. However, such systems are not naturally suited to generalized communication. A method is proposed that allows an implementation of neural network connections on massively parallel SIMD architectures. The key to this system is an algorithm that allows the formation of arbitrary connections between the "neurons". A feature is the ability to add new connections quickly. It also has error recovery ability and is robust over a variety of network topologies. Simulations of the general connection system, and its implementation on the Connection Machine, indicate that the time and space requirements are proportional to the product of the average number of connections per neuron and the diameter of the interconnection network.

Due to demographical factors, there will be a 25% decline in the national labor pool of eligible 17 to 21 year old men by 1992. As the Navy faces fierce competition with other services and private industry for the dwindling personnel resources of the nation, efforts must be made to consider automating certain tasks, especially those that are hazardous, boring, and labor intensive onboard ships at sea. The Surface Ship Continuing Concept Formulation (CONFORM) Program (SEA-5014) sponsored the Naval Surface Weapons center's Robotics Laboratory to identify potential applications of robotic and artificial intelligence systems to operation and mission activities for shipboard use. The results of the investigation concerning applications of robotics to automate the aforementioned tasks are presented. Changes in current manning levels for selected tasks and ship classes, i.e., CVs, CVNs, LPDs, LPNs, and auxiliaries are examined. Future ship designs incorporating robotics, such as the advance based repair (ABR) ship are discussed. Twenty-four applications were cited in the study which include a remote controlled vehicle for flight deck operations, limited tasks in biological, chemical, and radiation environments, computer aided command decision aids, ordnance handling, undersea search, recovery, and salvage, and ventilation duct cleaning. Four of the applications and their subsequent hardware fruition will be discussed.

In this paper we study an inviscid model for a steady axisymmetric flow with siwrl. The governing equation is a nonlinear elliptic equation which has more than one solution for a certain range of the swirl parameter. The physically interesting solutions have closed streamlines that look like vortex breakdown (‘bubble’-like solutions). A multigrid method is used to find these solutions. Using an FMG algorithm (nested iteration), the problem is solved in just a few multigrid cycles.
We describe a compact finite difference scheme to solve div v − q 2 u = 0, v = ϱ grad u , which does not depend upon first eliminating v , so as to obtain a single, higher-order equation. The finite difference equatio...
We describe a compact finite difference scheme to solve div v − q 2 u = 0, v = ϱ grad u , which does not depend upon first eliminating v , so as to obtain a single, higher-order equation. The finite difference equations can be efficiently solved by standard iterative methods, however, by first algebraically eliminating the flux components from the compact form. Energy estimates show that u is approximated to second-order accuracy.

In this paper we state results on the existence of Chandrasekhar equations for linear time invariant systems defined on Hilbert spaces. An important consequence of this is that the solution to the evolutional Riccati equation is strongly differentiable in time and one can define a 'strong' solution of the Riccati differential equation. A discussion of the linear quadratic optimal control problem for hereditary differential systems is also included.
