Singular perturbations of Volterra equations with periodic nonlinearities: Stability and oscillatory properties
Singularly perturbed integro-differential Volterra equations with MIMO periodic nonlinearities are considered, which describe synchronization circuits (such as phase- and frequency-locked loops) and many other “pendulum-like” systems. Similar to the usual pendulum equation, such systems are typically featured by infinite sequences of equilibria points, and none of which can be globally asymptotically stable. A natural extension of the global asymptotic stability is the gradient-like behavior, that is, convergence of any solution to one of the equilibria. In this paper, we offer an efficient frequency-domain criterion for gradientlike behavior. This criterion is not only applicable to a broad class of infinite-dimensional systems with periodic nonlinearities, but in fact ensures the equilibria set stability under singular perturbation. In particular, the proposed criterion guarantees the absence of periodic solutions that are considered to be undesirable in synchronization systems. In this paper we also discuss a relaxed version of this criterion, which guarantees the absence of “high-frequency” periodic solutions, whose frequencies lie beyond a certain bounded interval.Accepted Author ManuscriptTeam Tamas Keviczk
Volterra Equations with Periodic Nonlinearities: Multistability, Oscillations and Cycle Slipping
In this paper, systems of nonlinear integro-differential Volterra equations are examined that can be represented as feedback interconnections of linear time-invariant block and periodic nonlinearities. The interest in such systems is motivated by their numerous applications in mechanical, electrical and communication engineering; examples include, but are not limited to, models of phase-locked loops, pendulum-like mechanical systems, coupled vibrational units and electric machines. Systems with periodic nonlinearities are usually featured by multistability and have infinite sequences of (locally) stable and unstable equilibria; their trajectories may exhibit nontrivial (e.g. chaotic) behavior. We offer frequency-domain criteria, ensuring convergence of any solution to one of the equilibria points, and this property is referred to as the gradient-like behavior and corresponds to phase locking in synchronization systems. Although it is hard to find explicitly the equilibrium, attracting a given trajectory, we give a constructive estimate for the distance between this limit equilibrium and the initial condition. The relevant estimates are closely related to the analysis of cycle slipping in synchronization systems. In the case where the criterion of gradient-type behavior fails, a natural question arises-which nonconverging solutions may exist in the system and, in particular, how many periodic solutions it has. We show that a relaxation of the frequency-domain convergence criterion ensures the absence of high-frequency periodic orbits. The results obtained in the paper are based on the method of integral quadratic constraints that has arisen in absolute stability theory and stems from Popov's techniques of "a priori integral indices". We illustrate the analytic results by numerical simulations.</p
Dichotomy and stability of disturbed systems with periodic nonlinearities
Systems that can be decomposed as feedback interconnections of stable linear blocks and periodic nonlinearities arise in many physical and engineering applications. The relevant models e.g. describe oscillations of a viscously damped pendulum, synchronization circuits (phase, frequency and delay locked loops) and networks of coupled power generators. A system with periodic nonlinearities usually has multiple equilibria (some of them being locally unstable). Many tools of classical stability and control theories fail to cope with such systems. One of the efficient methods, elaborated to deal with periodic nonlinearities, stems from the celebrated Popov method of 'integral indices', or integral quadratic constraints; this method leads, in particular, to frequency-domain criteria of the solutions' convergence, or, equivalently, global stability of the equilibria set. In this paper, we further develop Popov's method, addressing the problem of robustness of the convergence property against external disturbances that do not oscillate at infinity (allowing the system to have equilibria points). Will the forced solutions also converge to one of the equilibria points of the disturbed system? In this paper, a criterion for this type of robustness is offered.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Team Tamas Keviczk
Self-synchronization of unbalanced rotors and the swing equation
We consider a problem of self-synchronization in a system of vibro-exciters (rotors) installed on a common oscillating platform. This problem was studied by I.I. Blekhman and later by L. Sperling. Extending their approach, we derive the equations for a system of n rotors and show that, separating the slow and fast motions, the “slow” dynamics of this systems reduces to a special case of a so-called swing equation that is well studied in theory of power networks. On the other hand, the system may be considered as “pendulum-like” system with multidimensional periodic nonlinearities. Using the theory of such systems developed in our previous works, we derive an analytic criteria for synchronization of two rotors. Unlike synchronization criteria available in mechanical literature, our criterion ensures global convergence of every trajectory to the synchronous manifold

STABILITY CONSTANTS OF L-ASPARAGINE AND L-LEUCINE COMPLEXES WITH SOME LANTHANIDE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS AT 298.15 K
Lanthanides have a high affinity toward ligands containing donor oxygen atoms, especially amino acids and complexons. The study of the processes of complexation of amino acids with f-element cations provides valuable information for solving problems of supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition and chiral sensitivity of biological substrates. As a rule, f-elements are not components of biopolymers, but they are spectral label probes, which are important in the bioinorganic chemistry of metals. Quantitative estimation of the stability of complexes is necessary, first of all, to search for an internal connection between the constants themselves and then to find correlations between the stability of complexes and the properties of the complexing agent, the ligand, and the system as a whole. Such correlation dependencies make it possible to calculate a priori, or at least estimate the stability constants of new complexes, and also to better understand the influence of the nature of the chemical bond and the properties of the system as a whole on the formation and stability of complex compounds. In the present work, the complexation of neodymium, lanthanum with L-asparaginat ion and samarium, cerium with L-leucinat ion at 298.15 K and ionic strength values of 0.5 mol/l was studied by potentiometric titration and the stability constants of the complexes formed were determined. The values of the stability constants found allow us to perform rigorous thermodynamic calculations of the equilibria of these amino acids in salt solutions. The data obtained, in particular, can be used to reliably interpret the results of calorimetric studies of the complexation of lanthanides with the participation of the studied amino acids.Forcitation:Lytkin A.I., Chernyavskaya N.V., Smirnova D.K.
