A sincronização de osciladores de Rössler acoplados

Neste trabalho utiliza-se como sistema dinâmico o circuito eletrônico que integra o sistema de equações acopladas de Rossler modificado. Este sistema possui uma nãolinearidade dada por uma função linear por partes e apresenta comportamento caótico para certos valores dos seus parâmetros. Isto e evidenciado pela rota de dobramento de período obtida variando-se um dos parâmetros do sistema. A caracterização experimental da dinâmica do sistema Rossler modificado e realizada através do diagrama de bifurcações. Apresenta-se uma fundamentação teórica de sistemas dinâmicos introduzindo conceitos importantes tais como atratores estranhos, variedades invariantes e tamb em uma análise da estabilidade de comportamentos assintóticos como pontos fixos e ciclos limites. Para uma caracterização métrica do caos, apresenta-se a definção dos expoentes de Lyapunov. São introduzidos também os expoentes de Lyapunov condicionais e transversais, que estão relacionados com a teoria de sincronizção de sistemas caóticos. A partir de uma montagem mestre-escravo, onde dois osciladores de Rossler estão acoplados unidirecionalmente, introduz-se a de nição de sincronização idêntica, sincronização de fase e variedade de sincronização. Demonstra-se a possibilidade de sincronização em uma rede de osciladores caóticos de Rossler, acoplados simetricamente via acoplamento de primeiros vizinhos. A rede composta por seis osciladores mostrou ser adequada pelo fato de apresentar uma rica estrutura espacial e, ao mesmo tempo, ser experimentalmente implementável. Além da sincronização global (osciladores identicamente sincronizados), obtém-se a sincronização parcial, onde parte dos osciladores sincronizam entre si e a outra parte não o faz. Esse tipo de sincronização abre a possibilidade da formação de padrões de sincronização e, portanto, exibe uma rica estrutura de comportamentos dinâmicos. A sincronização parcial e investigada em detalhes e apresentam-se vários resultados. A principal ferramenta utilizada na análise experimental e numérica e a inspeção visual do gráfico yi yj , fazendo todas as combinações entre elementos diferentes (i e j) da rede. Na análise numérica obtém-se como resultado complementar o máximo expoente de Lyapunov transversal, que descreve a estabilidade da variedade de sincronização global.

A instabilidade causada pela migração dependente da densidade em metapopulações

Neste trabalho analisamos os efeitos causados pela migração dependente da densidade em metapopulações, modelada como um sisitema de n sítios discretos no tempo e no espaço. A análise em diferentes funções que descrervem a dinâmica local do sistema e para configurações da rede na forma unidimensional (anéis cíclicos) e na forma bidimensional (superfície toroidal). Para os anéis cíclicos, obtemos os padrões espaciais causados pela migração dependente da densidade. Além disso, observamos que padrões mais irregulares e complexos aparecem de forma mais intensa em uma das funçoes analisadas na descrição do processo de dinâmica local. Através de várias evidências numéricas determinamos, para dinâmica local, descrita pela função exponencial logística, a região onde a migração dependente da densidade induz caóticos no sistema. esta região é crescente conforme ocorre o crescimento na fração migratória máxima. Para redes bidimentsionais na forma vizinhança de Moore apresentamos as instabilidades causadas pela migração dependente da densidade nas mesmas funções utilizadas para deescrever o processo de dinâmica local do caso anterior. Através do cálculo do espectro de Lyapunov confirmamos os padrões caóticos encontrados, classificando-os como caos espaço temporal completamente desenvolvido e supressão de caos.

O controle em cascata e a estrutura variável de um servoposicionador pneumático

Este trabalho aborda o desenvolvimento de um algoritmo de controle para servoposicionadores pneumáticos. Esses dispositivos são limpos, baratos e apresentam boa relação entre seu peso e a potência que são capazes de fornecer, o que os torna vantajosos para muitas aplicações. Seu emprego em tarefas de precisão é comprometido, no entanto, pelo seu comportamento fortemente não-linear. Visando compreender os fenômenos envolvidos, e realizar testes dos controladores propostos através de simulações, é realizado um estudo da modelagem matemática desses sistemas. Buscando situar este trabalho no campo de pesquisa proposto, é apresentada uma introdução aos critérios de estabilidade utilizados no âmbito dos sistemas não-lineares, com atenção especial ao Teorema da Estabilidade Assintótica de Lyapunov. Também são discutidas as técnicas de controle não-linear utilizadas neste trabalho. O controlador não-linear proposto é sintetizado com base na estratégia de controle em cascata. Essa técnica consiste na interpretação do servoposicionador como dois subsistemas interconectados: um subsistema mecânico e outro pneumático. O modelo do subsistema mecânico é utilizado para determinar o valor de pressão necessário para que o sistema siga a trajetória desejada. Com essa informação, é calculada a entrada de controle adequada para o subsistema pneumático, de forma que esta última forneça a pressão desejada ao subsistema mecânico. A fim de assegurar robustez ao sistema controlado frente à presença de incertezas paramétricas e de forças externas e/ou de atrito, utiliza-se uma técnica de controle a estrutura variável no subsistema pneumático. A lei originalmente proposta para o subsistema pneumático é, então, modificada, com os objetivos de eliminar a necessidade de monitorar o sinal de aceleração do sistema e de reduzir o grau de solicitação dos componentes eletromecânicos do servoposicionador. As propriedades de estabilidade e robustez do sistema em malha fechada são provadas analiticamente para cada uma das duas leis de controle propostas. As demonstrações são obtidas por meio da teoria de estabilidade de Lyapunov. Essas propriedades são corroboradas por meio de simulação do sistema controlado, com e sem a presença dos efeitos não-lineares do atrito e das incertezas paramétricas. Além de ratificar as características analiticamente previstas para o servoposicionador em malha fechada, os resultados das simulações também são utilizados para comparar os méritos das diferentes leis de controle propostas para o seguimento no subsistema pneumático.

Algumas generalizações para o último teorema de Fermat

Neste trabalho estudamos três generalizações para o último Teorema de Fermat. A primeira generalização trata de expoentes negativos e de expoentes racionais. Além de mostrar em que casos estas equações possuem soluções, damos uma caracterização completa para todas as soluções inteiras não-nulas existentes. A segunda generalização também trata de expoentes racionais, porém num contexto mais amplo. Aqui permitimos que as raízes n-ésimas sejam complexas, não necessariamente reais. Na terceira generalização vemos que o último Teorema de Fermat também vale para expoentes inteiros gaussianos.

Ação pública na formação e transformação do destino turístico de Porto de Galinhas: um estudo dos referenciais no período de 1970 a 2010

The central interest of this thesis is to comprehend how the public action impels the formation and transformation of the tourist destinies. The research was based on the premise that the public actions are the result of the mediation process of state and non-state actors considered important in a section, which interact aiming for prevailing their interests and world visions above the others. The case of Porto de Galinhas beach, in Pernambuco, locus of the investigation of this thesis, allowed the analysis of a multiplicity of actors on the formation and implementation of local actions toward the development of the tourism between the years 1970 and 2010, as well as permitted the comprehension of the construction of the referential on the interventions made. This thesis, of a qualitative nature, has as theoretical support the cognitive approach of analysis of the public policies developed in France, and it has as main exponents the authors Bruno Jobert and Pierre Muller. This choice was made by the emphasis on the cognitive and normative factors of the politics, which aspects are not very explored in the studies of public policies in Brazil. As the source of the data collection, documental, bibliographic and field researches were utilized to the (re)constitution of the formation and transformation in the site concerned. The analysis techniques applied were the content and the documental analysis. To trace the public action referential, it started by the characterization of the touristic section frontiers and the creation of images by the main international body: the World Tourism Organization, of which analysis of the minutes of the meetings underscored guidelines to the member countries, including Brazil, which compounds the global-sectorial reference of the section. As from the analysis of the evolution of the tourism in the country, was identified that public policies in Brazil passed by transformations in their organization over the years, indicating changes in the referential that guided the interventions. These guidelines and transformations were identified in the construction of the tourist destination of Porto de Galinhas, of which data was systematized and presented in four historical periods, in which were discussed the values, the standard, the algorithms, the images and the important mediators. It has been revealed that the State worked in different roles in the decades analyzed in local tourism. From the 1990s, however, new actors were inserted in the formulation and implementation of policies developed, especially for local hotelkeepers. These, through their association, establishes a leadership relation in the local touristic section, thereby, they could set their hegemony and spread their own interest. The leadership acquired by a group of actors, in the case of Porto de Galinhas, does not mean that trade within the industry were neutralized, but that there is a cognitive framework that confronts the actors involved. In spite of the advances achieved by the work of the mediators in the last decades, that resulted in an amplification and diversification of the activity in the area, as well as the consolidation at the beach, as a tourist destiny of national standout, the position of the place is instable, concerned to the competitiveness, once that there is an situation of social and environmental unsustainability

Correlações nos dfa de diversos perfis geológicos. estudo de caso: Bacia de Campos - RJ

This work aims to study the fluctuation structure of physical properties of oil well profiles. It was used as technique the analysis of fluctuations without trend (Detrended Fluctuation Analysis - DFA). It has been made part of the study 54 oil wells in the Campo de Namorado located in the Campos Basin in Rio de Janeiro. We studied five sections, namely: sonic, density, porosity, resistivity and gamma rays. For most of the profiles , DFA analysis was available in the literature, though the sonic perfile was estimated with the aid of a standard algorithm. The comparison between the exponents of DFA of the five profiles was performed using linear correlation of variables, so we had 10 comparisons of profiles. Our null hypothesis is that the values of DFA for the various physical properties are independent. The main result indicates that no refutation of the null hypothesis. That is, the fluctuations observed by DFA in the profiles do not have a universal character, that is, in general the quantities display a floating structure of their own. From the ten correlations studied only the profiles of density and sonic one showed a significant correlation (p> 0.05). Finally these results indicate that one should use the data from DFA with caution, because, in general, based on geological analysis DFA different profiles can lead to disparate conclusions

Its importance was demonstrated by the diversity of applications that several studies have already provided to various fields such as biology , economics and Climatology . In physics , the approach of complex systems is creating paradigms that influence markedly the new methods , bringing to Statistical Physics problems macroscopic level no longer restricted to classical studies such as those of thermodynamics . The present work aims to make a comparison and verification of statistical data on clusters of profiles Sonic ( DT ) , Gamma Ray ( GR ) , induction ( ILD ) , neutron ( NPHI ) and density ( RHOB ) to be physical measured quantities during exploratory drilling of fundamental importance to locate , identify and characterize oil reservoirs . Software were used : Statistica , Matlab R2006a , Origin 6.1 and Fortran for comparison and verification of the data profiles of oil wells ceded the field Namorado School by ANP ( National Petroleum Agency ) . It was possible to demonstrate the importance of the DFA method and that it proved quite satisfactory in that work, coming to the conclusion that the data H ( Hurst exponent ) produce spatial data with greater congestion . Therefore , we find that it is possible to find spatial pattern using the Hurst coefficient . The profiles of 56 wells have confirmed the existence of spatial patterns of Hurst exponents , ie parameter B. The profile does not directly assessed catalogs verification of geological lithology , but reveals a non-random spatial distribution

Estudo das propriedades críticas do processo epidêmico por par com difusão de pares

The pair contact process - PCP is a nonequilibrium stochastic model which, like the basic contact process - CP, exhibits a phase transition to an absorbing state. While the absorbing state CP corresponds to a unique configuration (empty lattice), the PCP process infinitely many. Numerical and theoretical studies, nevertheless, indicate that the PCP belongs to the same universality class as the CP (direct percolation class), but with anomalies in the critical spreading dynamics. An infinite number of absorbing configurations arise in the PCP because all process (creation and annihilation) require a nearest-neighbor pair of particles. The diffusive pair contact process - PCPD) was proposed by Grassberger in 1982. But the interest in the problem follows its rediscovery by the Langevin description. On the basis of numerical results and renormalization group arguments, Carlon, Henkel and Schollwöck (2001), suggested that certain critical exponents in the PCPD had values similar to those of the party-conserving - PC class. On the other hand, Hinrichsen (2001), reported simulation results inconsistent with the PC class, and proposed that the PCPD belongs to a new universality class. The controversy regarding the universality of the PCPD remains unresolved. In the PCPD, a nearest-neighbor pair of particles is necessary for the process of creation and annihilation, but the particles to diffuse individually. In this work we study the PCPD with diffusion of pair, in which isolated particles cannot move; a nearest-neighbor pair diffuses as a unit. Using quasistationary simulation, we determined with good precision the critical point and critical exponents for three values of the diffusive probability: D=0.5 and D=0.1. For D=0.5: PC=0.89007(3), β/v=0.252(9), z=1.573(1), =1.10(2), m=1.1758(24). For D=0.1: PC=0.9172(1), β/v=0.252(9), z=1.579(11), =1.11(4), m=1.173(4)

Modelagem e controle de um microveículo aéreo: uma aplicação de estabilidade robusta com a técnica backstepping em uma estrutura hexarrotor

In this Thesis, the development of the dynamic model of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle with vertical takeoff and landing characteristics, considering input nonlinearities and a full state robust backstepping controller are presented. The dynamic model is expressed using the Newton-Euler laws, aiming to obtain a better mathematical representation of the mechanical system for system analysis and control design, not only when it is hovering, but also when it is taking-off, or landing, or flying to perform a task. The input nonlinearities are the deadzone and saturation, where the gravitational effect and the inherent physical constrains of the rotors are related and addressed. The experimental multirotor aerial vehicle is equipped with an inertial measurement unit and a sonar sensor, which appropriately provides measurements of attitude and altitude. A real-time attitude estimation scheme based on the extended Kalman filter using quaternions was developed. Then, for robustness analysis, sensors were modeled as the ideal value with addition of an unknown bias and unknown white noise. The bounded robust attitude/altitude controller were derived based on globally uniformly practically asymptotically stable for real systems, that remains globally uniformly asymptotically stable if and only if their solutions are globally uniformly bounded, dealing with convergence and stability into a ball of the state space with non-null radius, under some assumptions. The Lyapunov analysis technique was used to prove the stability of the closed-loop system, compute bounds on control gains and guaranteeing desired bounds on attitude dynamics tracking errors in the presence of measurement disturbances. The controller laws were tested in numerical simulations and in an experimental hexarotor, developed at the UFRN Robotics Laboratory

Desacoplamento de um gerador síncrono através de um controle adaptativo por modelo de referência baseado em funções de Base radial

An alternative nonlinear technique for decoupling and control is presented. This technique is based on a RBF (Radial Basis Functions) neural network and it is applied to the synchronous generator model. The synchronous generator is a coupled system, in other words, a change at one input variable of the system, changes more than one output. The RBF network will perform the decoupling, separating the control of the following outputs variables: the load angle and flux linkage in the field winding. This technique does not require knowledge of the system parameters and, due the nature of radial basis functions, it shows itself stable to parametric uncertainties, disturbances and simpler when it is applied in control. The RBF decoupler is designed in this work for decouple a nonlinear MIMO system with two inputs and two outputs. The weights between hidden and output layer are modified online, using an adaptive law in real time. The adaptive law is developed by Lyapunov s Method. A decoupling adaptive controller uses the errors between system outputs and model outputs, and filtered outputs of the system to produce control signals. The RBF network forces each outputs of generator to behave like reference model. When the RBF approaches adequately control signals, the system decoupling is achieved. A mathematical proof and analysis are showed. Simulations are presented to show the performance and robustness of the RBF network

Utilização da lógica difusa no controle inteligente de sistemas eletro-hidráulicos

Electro-hydraulic servo-systems are widely employed in industrial applications such as robotic manipulators, active suspensions, precision machine tools and aerospace systems. They provide many advantages over electric motors, including high force to weight ratio, fast response time and compact size. However, precise control of electro-hydraulic systems, due to their inherent nonlinear characteristics, cannot be easily obtained with conventional linear controllers. Most flow control valves can also exhibit some hard nonlinearities such as deadzone due to valve spool overlap on the passage´s orifice of the fluid. This work describes the development of a nonlinear controller based on the feedback linearization method and including a fuzzy compensation scheme for an electro-hydraulic actuated system with unknown dead-band. Numerical results are presented in order to demonstrate the control system performance

Euler e os números pentagonais

The present investigation includes a study of Leonhard Euler and the pentagonal numbers is his article Mirabilibus Proprietatibus Numerorum Pentagonalium - E524. After a brief review of the life and work of Euler, we analyze the mathematical concepts covered in that article as well as its historical context. For this purpose, we explain the concept of figurate numbers, showing its mode of generation, as well as its geometric and algebraic representations. Then, we present a brief history of the search for the Eulerian pentagonal number theorem, based on his correspondence on the subject with Daniel Bernoulli, Nikolaus Bernoulli, Christian Goldbach and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert. At first, Euler states the theorem, but admits that he doesn t know to prove it. Finally, in a letter to Goldbach in 1750, he presents a demonstration, which is published in E541, along with an alternative proof. The expansion of the concept of pentagonal number is then explained and justified by compare the geometric and algebraic representations of the new pentagonal numbers pentagonal numbers with those of traditional pentagonal numbers. Then we explain to the pentagonal number theorem, that is, the fact that the infinite product(1 x)(1 xx)(1 x3)(1 x4)(1 x5)(1 x6)(1 x7)... is equal to the infinite series 1 x1 x2+x5+x7 x12 x15+x22+x26 ..., where the exponents are given by the pentagonal numbers (expanded) and the sign is determined by whether as more or less as the exponent is pentagonal number (traditional or expanded). We also mention that Euler relates the pentagonal number theorem to other parts of mathematics, such as the concept of partitions, generating functions, the theory of infinite products and the sum of divisors. We end with an explanation of Euler s demonstration pentagonal number theorem

Interaction of small amounts of bovine serum albumin with phospholipid monolayers investigated by surface pressure and atomic force microscopy

The influence of small amounts of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (nM concentration) on the lateral organization of phospholipid monolayers at the air-water interface and transferred onto solid substrates as one-layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films was investigated. The kinetics of adsorption of BSA onto the phospholipid monolayers was monitored with surface pressure isotherms in a Langmuir trough, for the zwitterionic dipalmitoylphosphatidyl ethanolamine (N,N-dimethyl-PE) and the anionic dimyristoylphosphatidic acid (DMPA). A monolayer of N,N-dimethyl-PE or DMPA incorporating BSA was transferred onto a solid substrate using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of one-layer LB films displayed protein-phospholipid domains, whose morphology was characterized using dynamic scaling theories to calculate roughness exponents. For DMPA-BSA films the surface is characteristic of self-affine fractals, which may be described with the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. on the other hand, for N,N-dimethyl-PE-BSA films, the results indicate a relatively flat surface within the globule. The height profile and the number and size of globules varied with the type of phospholipid. The overall results, from kinetics of adsorption on Langmuir monolayers and surface morphology in LB films, could be interpreted in terms of the higher affinity of BSA to the anionic DMPA than to the zwitterionic N,N-dimethyl-PE. Furthermore, the effects from such small amounts of BSA in the monolayer point to a cooperative response of DMPA and N,N-dimethyl-PE monolayers to the protein. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
