Posinormality Of Operators Treated By Weyl's Theorem On Unbounded Hilbert Space, Abbas G. Rajij, Dalia S. Ali, Huseyin Cakalli, Nadia M. G. Al-Saidi

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

Hamiltonians, momentum operators, and other quantum-mechanical perceptible take the form of self-adjoint operators when understood in quantized physical schemes. Unbounded and self-adjoint recognition are required in the situation of positive measurements. The selection of the proper Hilbert space(s) and the selection of the self-adjoint extension must be made in order for this to operate. In this effort, we define a new extension positive measure depending on the measurable field of nonzero positive self-adjoint operator in unbounded Hilbert space of analytic functions of complex variables. Consequently, we define an extension norm in the same space. We show several new properties of …

An Improved Conditional Integrator Sliding Mode Controller Based On Swarm Intelligence For A Magnetic Levitation System, Abdelkader Kerraci, Mohamed Fayçal Khelfi, Zoubir Ahmed-Foitih

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes an enhanced Conditional Integrator Sliding Mode Controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (CISMCPSO) for a magnetic levitation system (MLS). The main advantage of this controller is its robustness to uncertainties and disturbances, which also avoids chattering and ensures zero static steady-state error. The main idea of CISMCPSO is to activate its integral action only when the sliding surface reaches the boundary layer while it is reduced to zero or close to zero elsewhere, which avoids destroying the transient response caused by the conventional integral sliding-mode controller. A particle swarm optimization algorithm schedules the conditional integral term parameter of …

Impact Of Vaporization On Drop Aerobreakup, B. Boyd, S. Becker, Yue Stanley Ling

Faculty Publications

Aerodynamic breakup of vaporizing drops is commonly seen in many spray applications. While it is well known that vaporization can modulate interfacial instabilities, the impact of vaporization on drop aerobreakup is poorly understood. Detailed interface-resolved simulations were performed to systematically study the effect of vaporization, characterized by the Stefan number, on the drop breakup and acceleration for different Weber numbers and density ratios. It is observed that the resulting asymmetric vaporization rates and strengths of Stefan flow on the windward and leeward sides of the drop hinder bag development and prevent drop breakup. The critical Weber number thus generally increases …
