Firstly the stochastic system is reduced into its equivalent deterministic one, and then the responses of stochastic system can be obtained by numerical methods. Nonlinear dynamical behaviour related to stochastic period-doubling bifurcation and chaos in the stochastic system is explored. Numerical simulations show that similar to its counterpart in deterministic nonlinear system of stochastic period-doubling bifurcation and chaos may occur in the stochastic Duffing-van der Pol system even for weak intensity of random parameter. Simply increasing the intensity of the random parameter may result in the period-doubling bifurcation which is absent from the deterministic system.展开更多

The approximate equations are linear ordinary stochastic differential equations, the solutions of which are defined on sub-intervals of an arbitrary partition of the time interval and connected at successive division points. The closeness of the initial and approximate solutions is measured in the L^p-th norm, uniformly on the time interval. The convergence with probability one is also given.展开更多

The classical algorithm for stochastic approximation problem is the Robbins-Monro （RM） algorithm, which uses the noisy evaluation of the negative gradient direction as the iterative direction. In order to accelerate the RM algorithm, this paper gives a flame algorithm using adaptive iterative directions. At each iteration, the new algorithm goes towards either the noisy evaluation of the negative gradient direction or some other directions under some switch criterions. Two feasible choices of the criterions are proposed and two corresponding frame algorithms are formed. Different choices of the directions under the same given switch criterion in the frame can also form different algorithms. We also proposed the simultanous perturbation difference forms for the two frame algorithms. The almost surely convergence of the new algorithms are all established. The numerical experiments show that the new algorithms are promising.展开更多

Fuzzy mathematical models of safety repertories were introduced into the SFEM to analyze the stability of embankments and foundations in order to describe the fuzzy failure procedure for the random safety performance function. The fuzzy models were developed with membership functions with half depressed gamma distribution, half depressed normal distribution, and half depressed echelon distribution. The fuzzy stochastic mathematical algorithm was used to comprehensively study the local failure mechanism of the main embankment section near Jingnan in the Yangtze River in terms of numerical analysis for the probability integration of reliability on the random field affected by three fuzzy factors. The result shows that the middle region of the embankment is the principal zone of concentrated failure due to local fractures. There is also some local shear failure on the embankment crust. This study provides a referential method for solving complex multi-uncertainty problems in engineering safety analysis.展开更多

Because of the exact solution of such optimal control problem is impossible to be obtained, estimating the state dynamics is currently required. Here, it is assumed that the output can be measured from the real plant process. In our approach, the state mean propagation is applied in order to construct a linear model-based optimal control problem, where the model output is measureable. On this basis, an output error, which takes into account the differences between the real output and the model output, is defined. Then, this output error is minimized by applying the stochastic approximation approach. During the computation procedure, the stochastic gradient is established, so as the optimal solution of the model used can be updated iteratively. Once the convergence is achieved, the iterative solution approximates to the true optimal solution of the original optimal control problem, in spite of model-reality differences. For illustration, an example on a continuous stirred-tank reactor problem is studied, and the result obtained shows the applicability of the approach proposed. Hence, the efficiency of the approach proposed is highly recommended.展开更多

The main results show that the SPSA is capable of yielding the high filter performance similar to that produced by classical optimization algorithms, with better performance for non-linear filtering problems as more and more observations are assimilated. The advantage of the SPSA is that at each iteration it requires only two measurements of the objective function to approximate the gradient vector regardless of the dimension of the control vector （or maximally, three measurements if second-order optimization algorithms are used）. The SPSA approach is thus free from the need to develop a discrete adjoint of tangent linear model as it is required up to now for solving optimization problems in very high dimensional systems. This technique offers promising perspectives on developing optimal assimilation systems encountered in the field of data assimilation in meteorology and oceanography.展开更多

In the first section the existence and uniqueness of mild solution is obtained by use of measure of non-compactness. In the second section the conditions for approximate controllability are investigated for the distributed second order neutral stochastic differential system with respect to the approximate controllability of the corresponding linear system in a Hilbert space. Our method is an extension of co-author N. Sukavanam’s novel approach in [22]. Thereby, we remove the need to assume the invertibility of a controllability operator used by authors in [5], which fails to exist in infinite dimensional spaces if the associated semigroup is compact. Our approach also removes the need to check the invertibility of the controllability Gramian operator and associated limit condition used by the authors in [20], which are practically difficult to verify and apply. An example is provided to illustrate the presented theory.展开更多

The techniques applied involve the use of Caratheodory and Euler Maruyama procedures which approximated to stochastic delay differential equations. Based on the Caratheodory approximate procedure, it was proved that stochastic delay differential equations have unique solution and established that the Caratheodory approximate solution converges to the unique solution of stochastic delay differential equations under the Cauchy sequence and initial condition. This Caratheodory approximate procedure and Euler method both converge at the same rate. This is achieved by replacing the present state with past state. The existence and uniqueness of an approximate solution of the stochastic delay differential equation were shown and the approximate solution to the unique solution was also shown. .展开更多

First, proof is given for the existence of derivatives of output variables with respect to the perturbation parameters for the SUEED model. Then by taking advantage of the gradient-based method for sensitivity analysis of a general nonlinear program, detailed formulae are developed for calculating the derivatives of designed variables with respect to perturbation parameters at the equilibrium state of the SUEED model. This method is not only applicable for a sensitivity analysis of the logit-type SUEED problem, but also for the probit-type SUEED problem. The application of the proposed method in a numerical example shows that the proposed method can be used to approximate the equilibrium link flow solutions for both logit-type SUEED and probit-type SUEED problems when small perturbations are introduced in the input parameters.展开更多

In the analysis, the stochastic BVP system is transformed by the Chebyshev polynomial approximation into an equivalent deterministic system, whose response can be readily obtained by conventional numerical methods. In this way we have explored plenty of stochastic period-doubling bifurcation phenomena of the stochastic BVP system. The numerical simulations show that the behaviour of the stochastic period-doubling bifurcation in the stochastic BVP system is by and large similar to that in the deterministic mean-parameter BVP system, but there are still some featured differences between them. For example, in the stochastic dynamic system the period-doubling bifurcation point diffuses into a critical interval and the location of the critical interval shifts with the variation of intensity of the random parameter. The obtained results show that Chebyshev polynomial approximation is an effective approach to dynamical problems in some typical nonlinear systems with a bounded random parameter of an arch-like probability density function.展开更多

The investigation based on the dynamical mean-field approx- imation and the direct simulation demonstrates that the pre- dicted resonant point and the simulated one are basically co- incident for the case of pure additive noise, but for the case including multiplicative noise the situation becomes some- what complex. Specifically speaking, when stochastic res- onance （SR） is observed by changing the additive noise in- tensity, the predicted resonant point is lower than the sim- ulated one; nevertheless, when SR is observed by chang- ing the multiplicative noise intensity, the predicted resonant point is higher than the simulated one. Our observations im- ply that the Gaussian distribution assumption can not exactly describe the actual situation, but it is useful to some extent in predicting the low-frequency stochastic resonance of the coupled weakly-damped bistable oscillator.展开更多

A new linear approximation approach is advanced to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio. In the linear approximation only the drift term is linearized, the multiplicative noise term is unchangeable. It is found that there appears not only the standard form of stochastic resonance but also the broad sense of stochastic resonance, especially stochastic multiresonance appears in the curve of signal-to-noise ratio as a function of coupling strength A between the real and imaginary parts of the pump noise.展开更多

We show that, under a number of conditions, the stationary distributions of the n × n north-west corner augmentations of Q converge in total variation to the stationary distribution of the process. Two conditions guaranteeing such convergence include exponential ergodicity and stochastic monotonicity of the process. The same also holds for processes dominated by a stochastically monotone Markov process. In addition, we shall show that finite perturbations of stochastically monotone processes may be viewed as being dominated by a stochastically monotone process, thus extending the scope of these results to a larger class of processes. Consequently, the augmentation method provides an attractive, intuitive method for approximating the stationary distributions of a large class of Markov processes on countably infinite state spaces from a finite amount of known information.展开更多
