Array pattern nulling by element position perturbations using a genetic algorithm

A genetic algorithm has been used for null steering in phased and adaptive arrays . It has been shown that it is possible to steer the array null s precisely to the required interference directions and to achieve any prescribed null depths . A comparison with the results obtained from the analytic solution shows the advantages of using the genetic algorithm for null steering in linear array patterns

Theory of differential inequalities with appliciations to singular perturbiation problems and method of lines

During recent years, the theory of differential inequalities has been extensively used to discuss singular perturbation problems and method of lines to partial differential equations. The present thesis deals with some differential inequality theorems and their applications to singularly perturbed initial value problems, boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations in Banach space and initial boundary value problems for parabolic differential equations. The method of lines to parabolic and elliptic differential equations are also dealt The thesis is organised into nine chapters
