The main aim of this thesis is to design efficient and novel numerical algorithms for a class of deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems with multiple time scales. Classical numerical methods for such problems need temporal resolution to resolve the finest scale and become, therefore, inefficient when the much longer time intervals are of interest. In order to accelerate computations and improve the long time accuracy of numerical schemes, we take advantage of various multiscale structures established from a separation of time scales. This dissertation is organized into four chapters: an introduction followed by three chapters, each based on one of three different papers. The framework of the heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM) is considered as a general strategy both for the design and the analysis of multiscale methods. In Chapter 2, we consider a new class of multiscale methods that use a technique related to the construction of a Poincaré map. The main idea is to construct effective paths in the state space whose projection onto the slow subspace shows the correct dynamics. More precisely, we trace the evolution of the invariant manifold M(t), identified by the level sets of slow variables, by introducing a slowly evolving effective path which crosses M(t). The path is locally constructed through interpolation of neighboring points generated from our developed map. This map is qualitatively similar to a Poincaré map, but its construction is based on the procedure which solves two split equations successively backward and forward in time only over a short period. This algorithm does not require an explicit form of any slow variables. In Chapter 3, we present efficient techniques for numerical averaging over the invariant torus defined by ergodic dynamical systems which may not be mixing. These techniques are necessary, for example, in the numerical approximation of the effective slow behavior of highly oscillatory ordinary differential equations in weak near-resonance. In this case, the torus is embedded in a higher dimensional space and is given implicitly as the intersection of level sets of some slow variables, e.g. action variables. In particular, a parametrization of the torus may not be available. Our method constructs an appropriate coordinate system on lifted copies of the torus and uses an iterated convolution with respect to one-dimensional averaging kernels. Non-uniform invariant measures are approximated using a discretization of the Frobenius-Perron operator. These two numerical averaging strategies play a central role in designing multiscale algorithms for dynamical systems, whose fast dynamics is restricted not to a circle, but to the tori. The efficiency of these methods is illustrated by numerical examples. In Chapter 4, we generalize the classical two-scale averaging theory to multiple time scale problems. When more than two time scales are considered, the effective behavior may be described by the new type of slow variables which do not have formally bounded derivatives. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a theory to understand them. Such theory should be applied in the design of multiscale algorithms. In this context, we develop an iterated averaging theory for highly oscillatory dynamical systems involving three separated time scales. The relevant multiscale algorithm is constructed as a family of multilevel solvers which resolve the different time scales and efficiently computes the effective behavior of the slowest time scale. / text

In this work, the operating modes and characteristics of a Z-source full-bridge dc/dc converter are investigated. The mathematical analysis of the converter in continuous conduction mode, CCM and discontinuous conduction mode-2, DCM-2 operations is conducted. The transfer functions are derived for CCM and DCM-2 operation and validated by the simulation. The current mode controller of the converter is designed and its performance is checked in the simulation. The component waveforms in CCM and DCM-2 modes of operation are verified by operating the prototype converter in open-loop mode. The designed controller performance is tested with the closed-loop control implementation of the prototype converter. The theoretical efficiency analysis of the converter is made and compared with the measured efficiency of converter.

There are many problems that lead to analysis of dynamical systems with phase variables of two types, slow and fast ones. Such systems are called slow-fast systems. The dynamics of such systems is usually described by means of different versions of perturbation theory. Many questions about accuracy of this description are still open. The difficulties are related to presence of resonances. The goal of the proposed thesis is to establish some estimates of the accuracy of the perturbation theory for slow-fast systems in the presence of resonances. We consider slow-fast Hamiltonian systems and study an accuracy of one of the methods of perturbation theory: the averaging method. In this thesis, we start with the case of slow-fast Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. One degree of freedom corresponds to fast variables, and the other degree of freedom corresponds to slow variables. Action variable of fast sub-system is an adiabatic invariant of the problem. Let this adiabatic invariant have limiting values along trajectories as time tends to plus and minus infinity. The difference of these two limits for a trajectory is known to be exponentially small in analytic systems. We obtain an exponent in this estimate. To this end, by means of iso-energetic reduction and canonical transformations in complexified phase space, we reduce the problem to the case of one and a half degrees of freedom, where the exponent is known. We then consider a quasi-linear Hamiltonian system with one and a half degrees of freedom. The Hamiltonian of this system differs by a small, ~ε, perturbing term from the Hamiltonian of a linear oscillatory system. We consider passage through a resonance: the frequency of the latter system slowly changes with time and passes through 0. The speed of this passage is of order of ε. We provide asymptotic formulas that describe effects of passage through a resonance with an improved accuracy O(ε3/2). A numerical verification is also provided. The problem under consideration is a model problem that describes passage through an isolated resonance in multi-frequency quasi-linear Hamiltonian systems. We also discuss a resonant phenomenon of scattering on resonances associated with discretisation arising in a numerical solving of systems with one rotating phase. Numerical integration of ODEs by standard numerical methods reduces continuous time problems to discrete time problems. For arbitrarily small time step of a numerical method, discrete time problems have intrinsic properties that are absent in continuous time problems. As a result, numerical solution of an ODE may demonstrate dynamical phenomena that are absent in the original ODE. We show that numerical integration of systems with one fast rotating phase leads to a situation of such kind: numerical solution demonstrates phenomenon of scattering on resonances, that is absent in the original system.

Um dos mais investigados problemas na teoria qualitativa dos sistemas dinâmicos no plano é o XVI problema de Hilbert que investiga uma cota superior para o número de ciclos limites em sistemas diferenciais polinomiais e suas posições relativas. Por outro lado, os sistemas diferenciais suaves por partes tem despertado o interesse de muitos pesquisadores recentemente devido a sua estreita relação com outras áreas das ciências como física, biologia, economia e engenharias. Portanto é natural a busca pela extensão das técnicas e ferramentas da teoria qualitativa para essa classe de sistemas. Nessa dissertação apresentamos uma generalização da técnica do averaging para uma classe especial dos sistemas de Filippov, conhecida como sistemas diferenciais contínuos por partes, desenvolvida por Llibre-Novaes-Teixeira e, aplicamos essa técnica na investigação de uma classe particular de sistemas, que chamamos do tipo Kukles generalizado. / One of the most investigated problems in the qualitative theory of dynamical systems in the plane is the XVI Hilbert\'s problem which asks for the maximum number and position of limity cycles for all planar polynomial differential systems of degree n. On the other hand, recently piecewise continuous differential systems have attracting the interest of many researches specially because of their close relation with other sciences for instance physics, biology, economy and engineering. These relations motivate extensions of the qualitative tools for this class of systems. In this work we present a generalization of the averaging theory for a class of Filippov systems, namely piecewise continuous differential systems, developed by Llibre-Novaes-Teixeira and, we apply this theory to a particular class of differential systems, which we nominate generalized Kukles type.
