Bounds On Constraint Weight Parameters Of Hopfield Networks For Stability Of Optimization Problem Solutions, Gursel Serpen
Bounds On Constraint Weight Parameters Of Hopfield Networks For Stability Of Optimization Problem Solutions, Gursel Serpen
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of the presented research is to study the convergence characteristics of Hopfield network dynamics. The relation between constraint weight parameter values and the stability of solutions of constraint satisfaction and optimization problems mapped to Hopfield networks is investigated. A theoretical development relating constraint weight parameter values to solution stability is presented. The dependency of solution stability on constraint weight parameter values is shown employing an abstract optimization problem. A theorem defining bounds on the constraint weight parameter magnitudes for solution stability of constraint satisfaction and optimization problems is proved. Simulation analysis on a set of optimization and constraint …
A Mathematical Model Of The Dynamics Of An Optically Pumped Four-Level Solid State Laser System, Lila Freeman Roberts
A Mathematical Model Of The Dynamics Of An Optically Pumped Four-Level Solid State Laser System, Lila Freeman Roberts
Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations
This is a study of a mathematical model of the dynamics of an optically pumped four-level solid state laser system. A general mathematical model that describes the spatial and temporal evolution of the electron populations in the laser rod as well as the development of the left and right traveling photon fluxes in the cavity is developed. The model consists of a coupled set of first order semilinear partial differential equations. While the model was developed for Titanium-doped sapphire lasers, it is applicable to three and four level lasers in general.
The analysis of the model is conducted in two …
