Analysis And Finite Element Approximation Of A Coupled, Continuum Pipe-Flow/Darcy Model For Flow In Porous Media With Embedded Conduits, Yanzhao Cao, Max Gunzburger, Fei Hua, Xiaoming Wang

We consider the continuum Darcy/pipe flow model for flows in a porous matrix containing embedded conduits; such coupled flows are present in, e.g., karst aquifers. the mathematical well-posedness of the coupled problem as well as convergence rates of finite element approximation are established in the two-dimensional case. Computational results are also provided. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We propose a new parallel Robin-Robin domain decomposition method for the coupled Stokes-Darcy system with Beavers-Joseph-Saffman-Jones interface boundary condition. in particular, we prove that, with an appropriate choice of parameters, the scheme converges geometrically independent of the mesh size. © 2011 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
A Range And Existence Theorem For Pseudomonotone Perturbations Of Maximal Monotone Operators, Vy Khoi Le
A Range And Existence Theorem For Pseudomonotone Perturbations Of Maximal Monotone Operators, Vy Khoi Le
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper, we prove a range and existence theorem for multivalued pseudomonotone perturbations of maximal monotone operators. We assume a general coercivity condition on the sum of a maximal monotone and a pseudomonotone operator instead of a condition on the pseudomonotone operator only. An illustrative example of a variational inequality in a Sobolev space with variable exponent is given.
Balanced Pod For Model Reduction Of Linear Pde Systems: Convergence Theory, John R. Singler
Balanced Pod For Model Reduction Of Linear Pde Systems: Convergence Theory, John R. Singler

We consider convergence analysis for a model reduction algorithm for a class of linear infinite dimensional systems. The algorithm computes an approximate balanced truncation of the system using solution snapshots of specific linear infinite dimensional differential equations. The algorithm is related to the proper orthogonal decomposition, and it was first proposed for systems of ordinary differential equations by Rowley (Int. J. Bifurc. Chaos Appl. Sci. Eng. 15(3), 997-1013, 2005). For the convergence analysis, we consider the algorithm in terms of the Hankel operator of the system, rather than the product of the system Gramians as originally proposed by Rowley. For …

Balanced Pod For Linear Pde Robust Control Computations, John R. Singler, Belinda A. Batten

A mathematical model of a physical system is never perfect; therefore, robust control laws are necessary for guaranteed stabilization of the nominal model and also "nearby" systems, including hopefully the actual physical system. We consider the computation of a robust control law for large-scale nite dimensional linear systems and a class of linear distributed parameter systems. The controller is robust with respect to left coprime factor perturbations of the nominal system. We present an algorithm based on balanced proper orthogonal decomposition to compute the nonstandard features of this robust control law. Convergence theory is given, and numerical results are presented …
A Model Based Feedback Controller For Wing-Twist Via Piezoceramic Actuation, John R. Singler, Belinda A. Batten
A Model Based Feedback Controller For Wing-Twist Via Piezoceramic Actuation, John R. Singler, Belinda A. Batten
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper we present a model for a rubber plate with piezoceramic actuators to represent a bioinspired flexible wing. Using a Galerkin based finite element approximation to the system, we compute a linear quadratic based tracking control for piezoelectric actuators placed along both leading and trailing edges. Using these piezoceramic devices, we demonstrate the effectiveness of model based feedback control in achieving a desired wing tip position; this modified shape is analogous to aircraft roll moment generation via wing twist.
Convergent Snapshot Algorithms For Infinite-Dimensional Lyapunov Equations, John R. Singler
Convergent Snapshot Algorithms For Infinite-Dimensional Lyapunov Equations, John R. Singler
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
We consider two algorithms to approximate the solution Z of a class of stable operator Lyapunov equations of the form AZ + ZA* + BB* = 0. The algorithms utilize time snapshots of solutions of certain linear infinite-dimensional differential equations to construct the approximations. Matrix approximations of the operators a and B are not required and the algorithms are applicable as long as the rank of B is relatively small. The first algorithm produces an optimal low-rank approximate solution using proper orthogonal decomposition. The second algorithm approximates the product of the solution with a few vectors and can be implemented …

Towards Transient Growth Analysis And Design In Iterative Learning Control, Douglas A. Bristow, John R. Singler
Towards Transient Growth Analysis And Design In Iterative Learning Control, Douglas A. Bristow, John R. Singler
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this article the problem of bounding transient growth in iterative learning control (ILC) is examined. While transient growth is not a desirable property, the alternative, robust monotonic convergence, leads to fundamental performance limitations. to circumvent these limitations, this article considers the possibility that some transient growth, if properly limited, is a viable and practical option. Towards this end, this article proposes tools for analysing worst-case transient growth in ILC. the proposed tools are based on pseudospectra analysis, which is extended to apply to ILC of uncertain systems. Two practical problems in norm-optimal ILC weighting parameter design are considered. Using …
Robustness Analysis Of Slow Learning In Iterative Learning Control Systems, John R. Singler, Douglas A. Bristow
Robustness Analysis Of Slow Learning In Iterative Learning Control Systems, John R. Singler, Douglas A. Bristow
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper examines robust stability and robust transient growth in Iterative Learning Control (ILC). It is well known that small perturbations in system dynamics can result in very large transient growth of some ILC systems. Even larger perturbations can result in instability. One ad hoc technique commonly employed to improve robustness is to slow the learning rate by reducing the learning filter gain or lowpass filtering the error signal. Here, pseudospectra analysis is used to analyze the robustness of ILC algorithms with slow learning. It is found that robustness bounds can be increased and transient growth decreased with decreasing learning …
