Computing optimal control with a quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation
Journal Title: Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications - Year 2009, Vol 4, Issue 0
Abstract
This paper presents the numerical solution of a constrained optimal control problem (COCP) for quasilinear parabolic equations. The COCP is converted to unconstrained optimization problem (UOCP) by applying the exterior penalty function method. Necessary optimality conditions for the considered problem are established. The computing optimal controls are helped to identify the unknown coefficients of the quasilinear parabolic equation. Numerical results are reported.

Ridge regression estimator: combining unbiased and ordinary ridge regression methods of estimation
Statistical literature has several methods for coping with multicollinearity. This paper introduces a new shrinkage estimator, called modified unbiased ridge (MUR). This estimator is obtained from unbiased ridge regressi...
Multiple periodic solutions for a fourth-order discrete Hamiltonian system
By means of a three critical points theorem proposed by Brezis and Nirenberg and a general version of Mountain Pass Theorem, we obtain some multiplicity results for periodic solutions of a fourth-order discrete Hamiltoni...
Almost-periodic solution for BAM neural networks
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness solution and investigate the conditions that make it almost-periodic solution for BAM neural networks with retarded delays. The existence of solution established by us...
Families of quasi-pseudo-metrics generated by probabilistic quasi-pseudo-metric spaces
This paper contains a study of families of quasi-pseudo-metrics (the concept of a quasi-pseudo-metric was introduced by Wilson (1931) , Albert (1941) and Kelly (1963)) generated by probabilistic quasi-pseudo-metric-space...
