Sistemas dinâmicos com um único ponto de equilíbrio e injetividade / Dynamical systems with a single equilibrium point and injectivitySantos, Jean Venato 15 February 2011 (has links)
A primeira parte deste trabalho é dedicada ao estudo de sistemas dinâmicos contínuos e discretos bidimensionais com um único ponto de equillíbrio que é do tipo sela hiperbólica. No caso contínuo, obtemos condições sufiientes para que um campo vetorial planar seja topologicamente equivalente à sela linear L(x; y) = (-x; y). No caso em que o campo vetorial é um difeomorfismo local, a injetividade do campo jogará um papel fundamental na obtenção de tal equivalência topológica. Além disto, apresentamos uma descrição das folheações do plano associadas a campos de vetores com uma única singularidade do tipo sela hiperbólica. No âmbito dos sistemas discretos, apresentamos condições para que um difeomorfismo, possuindo uma sela hiperbólica como único ponto fixo, satisfaça as propriedades básicas de um sistema linear com um ponto fixo que é do tipo sela hiperbólica: as quatro separatrizes do ponto fixo se acumulam só no infinito e os iterados dos pontos que não estão nas variedades invariantes deste ponto fixo se acumulam no infinito tanto no passado quanto no futuro. A segunda parte deste texto, se dedica a problemas de injetividade de difeomorfismos locais em \'R POT. n\'. Mais especificamente, obtemos versões fracas da Conjetura Jacobiana Real de Jelonek e de uma Conjetura apresentada por Nollet e Xavier. Ambos problemas estão intimamente ligados à famosa Conjetura Jacobiana, que foi considerada por Smale em 1998 como um dos dezoito problemas matemáticos mais relevantes ainda em aberto / The first part of this work is dedicated to the study of continuous and discrete twodimensional dynamical systems with a unique equilibrium point which is a hyperbolic saddle. In the continuous case, we obtain sufficient conditions for a planar vector field be topologically equivalent to the linear saddle L(x; y) = (-x; y). In the case where the vector field is a local diffeomorphism, the injectivity of the field will play a key role in obtaining such a topological equivalence. Furthermore, we provide a description of foliations of the plane vector fields associated with a unique singularity of hyperbolic saddle type. In the context of discrete systems, we present conditions for a diffeomorphism, possessing a hyperbolic saddle as the single fixed point, to satisfy the basic properties of a linear system with a fixed point of saddle type which is hyperbolic: the four separatrices of the fixed point accumulate only at infinity and iterated the points that are not in invariant manifolds of this fixed point accumulate in infinity in both the past and future. The second part of this text is devoted to problems of injectivity of local diffeomorphisms on \'R POT. n\'. More specifically, we obtain weaker versions of the Jelonek\'s Real Jacobian Conjecture and a Conjecture given by Nollet and Xavier. Both problems are closely linked to the famous Jacobian Conjecture, which was considered by Smale in 1998 as one of eighteen mathematical problems even more important in open

Multistable systems under the influence of noiseKraut, Suso January 2001 (has links)
Nichtlineare multistabile Systeme unter dem Einfluss von Rauschen weisen vielschichtige dynamische Eigenschaften auf. <br />
Ein mittleres Rauschlevel zeitigt ein Springen zwischen den metastabilen Zustaenden. <br />
Dieser “attractor-hopping” Prozess ist gekennzeichnet durch laminare Bewegung in der Naehe von Attraktoren und erratische Bewegung, die sich auf chaotischen Satteln abspielt, welche in die fraktalen Einzugsgebietsgrenzen eingebettet sind. Er hat rauschinduziertes Chaos zur Folge. <br />
Bei der Untersuchung der dissipativen Standardabbildung wurde das Phaenomen der Praeferenz von Attraktoren durch die Wirkung des Rauschens gefunden. Dies bedeutet, dass einige Attraktoren eine groessere Wahrscheinlichkeit erhalten aufzutreten, als dies fuer das rauschfreie System der Fall waere. Bei einer bestimmten Rauschstaerke ist diese Bevorzugung maximal. <br />
Andere Attraktoren werden aufgrund des Rauschens weniger oft angelaufen. Bei einer entsprechend hohen Rauschstaerke werden sie komplett ausgeloescht. <br />
Die Komplexitaet des Sprungprozesses wird fuer das Modell zweier gekoppelter logistischer Abbildungen mit symbolischer Dynamik untersucht. <br />
Bei Variation eines Parameters steigt an einem bestimmten Wert des Parameters die topologische Entropie steil an, die neben der Shannon Entropie als Komplexitaetsmass verwendet wird. Dieser Anstieg wird auf eine neuartige Bifurkation von chaotischen Satteln zurueckgefuehrt, die in einem Verschmelzen zweier Sattel besteht und durch einen “Snap-back”-Repellor vermittelt wird. <br />
Skalierungsgesetze sowohl der Verweilzeit auf einem der zuvor getrennten Teile des Sattels als auch des Wachsens der fraktalen Dimension des entstandenen Sattels beschreiben diese neuartige Bifurkation genauer. <br />
Wenn ein chaotischer Sattel eingebettet in der offenen Umgebung eines Einzugsgebietes eines metastabilen Zustandes liegt, fuehrt das zu einer deutlichen Senkung der Schwelle des rauschinduzierten Tunnelns. <br />
Dies wird anhand der Ikeda-Abbildung, die ein Lasersystem mit einer zeitverzoegerden Interferenz beschreibt, demonstriert. Dieses Resultat wird unter Verwendung der Theorie der Quasipotentiale erzielt. <br />
Sowohl dieser Effekt, die Senkung der Schwelle für rauschinduziertes Tunneln aus einem metastabilen Zustand durch einen chaotischen Sattel, als auch die beiden Skalierungsgesteze sind von experimenteller Relevanz. / Nonlinear multistable systems under the influence of noise exhibit a plethora of interesting dynamical properties. A medium noise level causes hopping between the metastable states. This attractorhopping process is characterized through laminar motion in the vicinity of the attractors and erratic motion taking place on chaotic saddles, which are embedded in the fractal basin boundary. This leads to noise-induced chaos. The investigation of the dissipative standard map showed the phenomenon of preference of attractors through the noise. It means, that some attractors get a larger probability of occurrence than in the noisefree system. For a certain noise level this prefernce achieves a maximum. Other attractors are occur less often. For sufficiently high noise they are completely extinguished. The complexity of the hopping process is examined for a model of two coupled logistic maps employing symbolic dynamics. With the variation of a parameter the topological entropy, which is used together with the Shannon entropy as a measure of complexity, rises sharply at a certain value. This increase is explained by a novel saddle merging bifurcation, which is mediated by a snapback repellor. Scaling laws of the average time spend on one of the formerly disconnected parts and of the fractal dimension of the connected saddle describe this bifurcation in more detail. If a chaotic saddle is embedded in the open neighborhood of the basin of attraction of a metastable state, the required escape energy is lowered. This enhancement of noise-induced escape is demonstrated for the Ikeda map, which models a laser system with time-delayed feedback. The result is gained using the theory of quasipotentials. This effect, as well as the two scaling laws for the saddle merging bifurcation, are of experimental relevance.

Edgeworth Expansion and Saddle Point Approximation for Discrete Data with Application to Chance GamesBasna, Rani January 2010 (has links)
We investigate mathematical tools, Edgeworth series expansion and the saddle point method, which are approximation techniques that help us to estimate the distribution function for the standardized mean of independent identical distributed random variables where we will take into consideration the lattice case. Later on we will describe one important application for these mathematical tools where game developing companies can use them to reduce the amount of time needed to satisfy their standard requests before they approve any game

Asymptotic Analysis of Interference in Cognitive Radio NetworksYaobin, Wen 05 April 2013 (has links)
The aggregate interference distribution in cognitive radio networks is studied in a rigorous and analytical way using the popular Poisson point process model. While a number of results are available for this model for non-cognitive radio networks, cognitive radio networks present extra levels of difficulties for the analysis, mainly due to the exclusion region around the primary receiver, which are typically addressed via various ad-hoc approximations (e.g., based on the interference cumulants) or via the large-deviation analysis. Unlike the previous studies, we do not use here ad-hoc approximations but rather obtain the asymptotic interference distribution in a systematic and rigorous way, which also has a guaranteed level of accuracy at the distribution tail. This is in contrast to the large deviation analysis, which provides only the (exponential) order of scaling but not the outage probability itself. Unlike the cumulant-based analysis, our approach provides a guaranteed level of accuracy at the distribution tail. Additionally, our analysis provides a number of novel insights. In particular, we demonstrate that there is a critical transition point below which the outage probability decays only polynomially but above which it decays super-exponentially. This provides a solid analytical foundation to the earlier empirical observations in the literature and also reveals what are the typical ways outage events occur in different regimes. The analysis is further extended to include interference cancelation and fading (from a broad class of distributions). The outage probability is shown to scale down exponentially in the number of canceled nearest interferers in the below-critical region and does not change significantly in the above-critical one. The proposed asymptotic expressions are shown to be accurate in the non-asymptotic regimes as well.

Laser Fired Aluminum Emitter for High Efficiency Silicon Photovoltaics Using Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon and Silicon Oxide Dielectric PassivationFischer, Anton H. 31 December 2010 (has links)
This thesis proposes and demonstrates a hydrogenated amorphous silicon passivated,
inverted photovoltaic device on n-type silicon, utilizing a Laser Fired Emitter on a rear i-a-
Si:H/SiOx dielectric stack. This novel low-temperature-fabricated device architecture
constitutes the first demonstration of an LFE on a dielectric passivation stack. The
optimization of the device is explored through Sentaurus computational modeling,
predicting a potential efficiency of >20%. Proof of concept devices are fabricated using the
DC Saddle Field PECVD system for the deposition of hydrogenated amorphous silicon
passivation layers. Laser parameters are explored highlighting pulse energy density as a key
performance determining factor. Annealing of devices in nitrogen atmosphere shows
performance improvements albeit that the maximum annealing temperature is limited by the
thermal stability of the passivation. A proof of concept device efficiency of 11.1% is
realized forming the basis for further device optimization.

Asymptotic Statistics of Channel Capacity for Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relay SystemsHsu, Chung-Kai 17 July 2012 (has links)
In this thesis, we address the statistics of mutual information of amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-hop relay channels, where the
source terminal (ST), relay terminal (RT) and destination terminal (DT) are equipped with a number of correlated antennas and there is a line-of-sight (LOS)
component (Rician fading) of each link. To the best of our knowledge, deriving analytical expressions for the statistics of mutual information of the relay channel
is difficult and still unsolvable. To circumvent the mathematical difficulties, we consider this problem under the large-system regimen in which the numbers of
antennas at the transmitter and receiver go to infinity with a fixed ratio. In the large-system regimen, this thesis has made the following contributions: 1) We
get the mean and the variance of the mutual information of the concerned relay channel. 2) We show that the mutual information distribution converges to the
Gaussian distribution. The analytical results are derived by mean of two powerful tools developed in the context of theoretical physics: emph{saddle-point
approximation} and emph{superanalysis}. The derived analytical results are very general and can degenerate to several previously results as special cases. From a
degenerated case, we realize that the previous result by Wagner {em et al.} cite{Wag-08} is wrong and thus
we provide the corrected result. Finally, Simulation results demonstrate that even for a moderate number of antennas at each end, the proposed analytical results
provide undistinguishable results as those obtained by Monte-Carlo results.

Analysis and computation of multiple unstable solutions to nonlinear elliptic systemsChen, Xianjin 15 May 2009 (has links)
We study computational theory and methods for finding multiple unstable solutions
(corresponding to saddle points) to three types of nonlinear variational elliptic
systems: cooperative, noncooperative, and Hamiltonian. We first propose a new Lorthogonal
selection in a product Hilbert space so that a solution manifold can be
defined. Then, we establish, respectively, a local characterization for saddle points of
finite Morse index and of infinite Morse index. Based on these characterizations, two
methods, called the local min-orthogonal method and the local min-max-orthogonal
method, are developed and applied to solve those three types of elliptic systems for
multiple solutions. Under suitable assumptions, a subsequence convergence result
is established for each method. Numerical experiments for different types of model
problems are carried out, showing that both methods are very reliable and efficient in
computing coexisting saddle points or saddle points of infinite Morse index. We also
analyze the instability of saddle points in both single and product Hilbert spaces. In
particular, we establish several estimates of the Morse index of both coexisting and
non-coexisting saddle points via the local min-orthogonal method developed and propose
a local instability index to measure the local instability of both degenerate and
nondegenerate saddle points. Finally, we suggest two extensions of an L-orthogonal
selection for future research so that multiple solutions to more general elliptic systems
such as nonvariational elliptic systems may also be found in a stable way.
