The control of chaotic mapsHoffman, Lance Douglas 04 September 2012 (has links)
2003 / Some important ideas froni classical control theory are introduced with the intention of applying them to chaotic dynamical systems, in particular the coupled logistic equations. The structure of this dissertation is such that a strong foundation in control theory is first established before introducing the coupled logistic map or the methods of control and targetting in chaotic systems. In chapter 1 some aspects of classical control theory are reviewed. Continuous- and discrete-time dynamical systems are introduced and the existence and uniquendss criteria for the continuous case are explored via Lipschitz continuity. The matrix form of an inhomogeneous linear differential equation is presented and several properties of the associated transition matrix are discussed. Several linear algebraic ideas, most notably the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, are employed to explore the important concepts of controllability and observability in linear systems. The stabilisability problem is thoroughly investigated. Finally, the neighbourhood properties of continuous nonlinear dynamical systems with reference to controllability, stability and noise are established. Chapter 2 places emphasis on canonical forms, pole assignments and state observers. The decomposition of a general system into distinct components is facilitated by the general structure theorem, which is proved. The pole placement problem is described and the correspondence between the stabilisability of a system and the placement of poles is noted by the use'of a socalled feedback matrix. Lastly, the notion of a state observer, with reference to some dynamic feedback law, is introduced. The dynamics of the coupled logistic equations are studied in chapter 3. The fixed points of the map are calculated and the subsequent dynamical consequences explored. Using methods introduced in earlier chapters, the stability of the map is investigated. Using the so-called variational equations, the Lyapunov exponents are computed and used to classify, the motion of the system for the parameter values r and a. This chapter concludes with a discussion of the basins of attraction and critical curves associated with the coupled logistic equations. It is in chapter 4 that the models for controlling chaos are instantiated. The famous Ott-Grebogi- Yorke (OGY) method for controlling chaos is explained and related to the pole placement problem, discussed previously. The theory is extended to study the control of periodic orbits with periods greater than one.

Generalizations of some fixed point theorems in banach and metric spacesNiyitegeka, Jean Marie Vianney January 2015 (has links)
A fixed point of a mapping is an element in the domain of the mapping that is mapped into itself by the mapping. The study of fixed points has been a field of interests to mathematicians since the discovery of the Banach contraction theorem, i.e. if is a complete metric space and is a contraction mapping (i.e. there exists such that for all ), then has a unique fixed point. The Banach contraction theorem has found many applications in pure and applied mathematics. Due to fixed point theory being a mixture of analysis, geometry, algebra and topology, its applications to other fields such as physics, economics, game theory, chemistry, engineering and many others has become vital. The theory is nowadays a very active field of research in which many new theorems are published, some of them applied and many others generalized. Motivated by all of this, we give an exposition of some generalizations of fixed point theorems in metric fixed point theory, which is a branch of fixed point theory about results of fixed points of mappings between metric spaces, where certain properties of the mappings involved need not be preserved under equivalent metrics. For instance, the contractive property of mappings between metric spaces need not be preserved under equivalent metrics. Since metric fixed point theory is wide, we limit ourselves to fixed point theorems for self and non-self-mappings on Banach and metric spaces. We also take a look at some open problems on this topic of study. At the end of the dissertation, we suggest our own problems for future research.

Coz-related and other special quotients in framesMatlabyana, Mack Zakaria 02 1900 (has links)
We study various quotient maps between frames which are defined by stipulating that they
satisfy certain conditions on the cozero parts of their domains and codomains. By way of
example, we mention that C-quotient and C -quotient maps (as defined by Ball and Walters-
Wayland [7]) are typical of the types of homomorphisms we consider in the initial parts of the
thesis. To be little more precise, we study uplifting quotient maps, C1- and C2-quotient maps
and show that these quotient maps possess some properties akin to those of a C-quotient
maps. The study also focuses on R - and G - quotient maps and show, amongst other
things, that these quotient maps coincide with the well known C - quotient maps in mildly
normal frames. We also study quasi-F frames and give a ring-theoretic characterization
that L is quasi-F precisely when the ring RL is quasi-B´ezout. We also show that quasi-F
frames are preserved and reflected by dense coz-onto R -quotient maps. We characterize
normality and some of its weaker forms in terms of some of these quotient maps. Normality
is characterized in terms of uplifting quotient maps, -normally separated frames in terms
of C1-quotient maps and mild normality in terms of R - and G -quotient maps. Finally we
define cozero complemented frames and show that they are preserved and reflected by dense
z#- quotient maps. We end by giving ring-theoretic characterizations of these frames. / Mathematical Science / D. Phil. (Mathematics)

Spectrum preserving linear mappings between Banach algebrasWeigt, Martin 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Let A and B be unital complex Banach algebras with identities 1 and I'
respectively. A linear map T : A -+ B is invertibility preserving if Tx is
invertible in B for every invertible x E A. We say that T is unital if Tl = I'.
IfTx2 = (TX)2 for all x E A, we call T a Jordan homomorphism. We examine
an unsolved problem posed by 1. Kaplansky:
Let A and B be unital complex Banach algebras and T : A -+ B a unital
invertibility preserving linear map. What conditions on A, Band T imply
that T is a Jordan homomorphism?
Partial motivation for this problem are the Gleason-Kahane-Zelazko Theorem
(1968) and a result of Marcus and Purves (1959), these also being special
instances of the problem. We will also look at other special cases answering
Kaplansky's problem, the most important being the result stating that if A
is a von Neumann algebra, B a semi-simple Banach algebra and T : A -+ B
a unital bijective invertibility preserving linear map, then T is a Jordan
homomorphism (B. Aupetit, 2000).
For a unital complex Banach algebra A, we denote the spectrum of x E A
by Sp (x, A). Let a(x, A) denote the union of Sp (x, A) and the bounded
components of <C \ Sp (x, A). We denote the spectral radius of x E A by
p(x, A).
A unital linear map T between unital complex Banach algebras A and
B is invertibility preserving if and only if Sp (Tx, B) C Sp (x, A) for all
x E A. This leads one to consider the problems that arise when, in turn,
we replace the invertibility preservation property of T in Kaplansky's problem
with Sp (Tx, B) = Sp (x, A) for all x E A, a(Tx, B) = a(x, A) for all
x E A, and p(Tx, B) = p(x, A) for all x E A. We will also investigate
some special cases that are solutions to these problems. The most important
of these special cases says that if A is a semi-simple Banach algebra, B a
primitive Banach algebra with minimal ideals and T : A -+ B a surjective
linear map satisfying a(Tx, B) = a(x, A) for all x E A, then T is a Jordan
homomorphism (B. Aupetit and H. du T. Mouton, 1994). / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gestel A en B is unitale komplekse Banach algebras met identiteite 1 en I'
onderskeidelik. 'n Lineêre afbeelding T : A -+ B is omkeerbaar-behoudend
as Tx omkeerbaar in B is vir elke omkeerbare element x E A. Ons sê dat T
unitaal is as Tl = I'. As Tx2 = (TX)2 vir alle x E A, dan noem ons T 'n
Jordan homomorfisme. Ons ondersoek 'n onopgeloste probleem wat deur I.
Kaplansky voorgestel is:
Gestel A en B is unitale komplekse Banach algebras en T : A -+ B is 'n
unitale omkeerbaar-behoudende lineêre afbeelding. Watter voorwaardes op
A, B en T impliseer dat T 'n Jordan homomorfisme is?
Gedeeltelike motivering vir hierdie probleem is die Gleason-Kahane-Zelazko
Stelling (1968) en 'n resultaat van Marcus en Purves (1959), wat terselfdertyd
ook spesiale gevalle van die probleem is. Ons salook na ander spesiale gevalle
kyk wat antwoorde lewer op Kaplansky se probleem. Die belangrikste van
hierdie resultate sê dat as A 'n von Neumann algebra is, B 'n semi-eenvoudige
Banach algebra is en T : A -+ B 'n unitale omkeerbaar-behoudende bijektiewe
lineêre afbeelding is, dan is T 'n Jordan homomorfisme (B. Aupetit,
2000).
Vir 'n unitale komplekse Banach algebra A, dui ons die spektrum van
x E A aan met Sp (x, A). Laat cr(x, A) die vereniging van Sp (x, A) en die
begrensde komponente van <C \ Sp (x, A) wees. Ons dui die spektraalradius
van x E A aan met p(x, A).
'n Unitale lineêre afbeelding T tussen unit ale komplekse Banach algebras
A en B is omkeerbaar-behoudend as en slegs as Sp (Tx, B) c Sp (x, A) vir
alle x E A. Dit lei ons om die probleme te beskou wat ontstaan as ons die
omkeerbaar-behoudende eienskap van T in Kaplansky se probleem vervang
met Sp (Tx, B) = Sp (x, A) vir alle x E A, O"(Tx, B) = O"(x, A) vir alle
x E A en p(Tx, B) = p(x, A) vir alle x E A, onderskeidelik. Ons salook
'n paar spesiale gevalle van hierdie probleme ondersoek. Die belangrikste
van hierdie spesiale gevalle sê dat as A 'n semi-eenvoudige Banach algebra
is, B 'n primitiewe Banach algebra met minimale ideale is, en T : A -+ B
'n surjektiewe lineêre afbeelding is sodanig dat O"(Tx, B) = O"(x, A) vir alle
x E A, dan is T 'n Jordan homomorfisme (B. Aupetit en H. du T. Mouton,
1994).
