Full textThe subject of this thesis is nonlinear systems; Given a dynamic system we examine whether it is nonlinear or not, and in the case of non-linearity, how highly nonlinear the system is. It also checks the linearization of nonlinear systems and how close the linearized model is to the original, in order to proceed to the design of a control scheme based on the linear model. LQR and LQG control schemes were implemented and compared on the initial nonlinear model.

Full textExtensive research in the field of molecular switches promises a wide variety of switching mechanisms characterized by an eclectic range of intrinsic properties regarding their luminescence, conductivity, magnetic and optical outputs. Because of their controlled alternating properties and the ease of their preparation and modification, molecular switches hold the promise of becoming pivotal components of organic–integrated photonic devices. Among the many available systems, azobenzene dyes represent a particularly promising class of organic switchable materials. The advantage of azobenzene chromophores as molecular switches is based not only on the large geometrical change accompanying the cis–trans isomerization, but also on their photo–stability, and the ease of their preparation and derivatization. In addition, azobenzene chromophores, exhibiting in general large nonlinear optical response, are characterized by an important change in their third-order nonlinear optical response due to the photo-isomerization of the –N=N- double bond. The purpose of this work is hence to describe how the NLO properties of the azobenzene are influenced when surrounded by an always more electron-donating and conjugated environment. In order to do so, we are studying three azobenzene-centered molecules. In two of them, the switch is bonded to two electron-rich groups such as alkylated anilines via either one or two ethynil spacers. In the latter, a Zn-porphyrin was instead linked to the aza-core. The insertion of a porphyrin core was driven by its high polarizability and optical oscillator strength which gives the material remarkable NLO behavior, making it potentially useful for ultra-fast switching technologies. In that view, the nonlinear optical response of these novel azobenzene based molecules dissolved in dichloromethane are studied by means of Z-scan technique using 35 ps laser pulses at 532 and 1064 nm. From the measurements, the nonlinear absorption and refraction and the corresponding third-order susceptibility χ(3) and second hyperpolarizability are determined.

Full textThis diploma thesis aim at studying Electroencephalografic (EEG) Signal Recordings by adopting methodologies able to analyse and observe coupling of chaotic systems. Although linear methods seems to be inadequate for the analysis of EEG signals, the most commonly used methodologies today are linear. In this thesis, a non-linear partial directed coherence method is adopted to compute the transfer function of EEG signals in the phase-state space and is used to estimate the non-linear connectivity among brain areas. This thesis consists of five chapters. In the first and second chapter, an introduction to the brain's physiology and epilepsy pathophysiology is presented. In the third chapter, a methodology for the non-linear analysis of time series is presented based on the PDC method, which reconstructs attractors in the phase-state. In the fourth chapter, the parameters for the phase-state reconstruction of the attractors are properly selected. In the fifth chapter, the proposed method is applied on simulated and real epilepsy EEG data and the obtained results are presented and discussed.

Full textThe aim of this work entitled “Educational Software Package for Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Equations, Nonlinear and Linear Systems and for Optimization Problem” is the creation of a software package which could deal with important issues of the field of mathematics called numerical analysis. This is achieved by using the Matlab computational environment. Taking into account the fact that there is a well equipped lab and easily accessible from students, in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Patras, the presented software package could be used by undergraduates students in order to: • be used by each student as a supplemental “tool” which can be easily accessible, even outside the classroom, for the better understanding of meanings and methods which are introduced during of courses, in time that each student may be selected. • combine theory with his examples and have direct results just by using the “models” of the friendly- assistant environment for the specified issues that are analyzed below. • be the motive for exercising the Matlab environment which could be a useful tool for solving many mathematical, and not only, issues.

Full textIn this work we present the problem of minimizing a continuously differentiable function of n variables under no constraints, as well as under nonlinear constraints. New methods for the solution of this problem are proposed. Namely 1) An algorithm for the unconstrained minimization of nonlinear functions, based on a modified one-dimentional bisection method. This method does not require an estimatoin of the Hessian and can be used for problems, where the objective function values as well as the gradient values are not known exactly. 2) Two new conic algorithms for unconstrained optimization. These algorithms are based on a conic model function, whose form does not include its Hessian. In the first algorithm, the conic method is combined with a non-monotone Newton type line search and the step of Barzilai and Borwein. In the second, we use a dimention reducing method for the line search. In both cases the clasic conic method is accelerated significantly. 3) A class of constrained optimization methods that use, instead of a search vector, the g4eodesic curve of the surface of the constraints.

Full textWe study time-periodic and spatially localized solutions in discrete dynamical systems describing Hamiltonian lattices in one spatial dimension. These solutions are called discrete breathers (DBs) or intrinsic localized modes (ILM). Necessary conditions for their occurrence are the boundedness of the spectrum of linear oscillations of the system as well as the nonlinearity of the equations of motion. More specifically, we focus on a Klein Gordon lattice and present an existence proof for such solutions, as well as numerical results revealing the stability (or instability) of DBs using Floquet theory. Besides reporting on the classical Klein Gordon model with nearest neighbor interactions, we also introduce long range interactions in our model, which are controlled by a parameter α and study the effect of varying the range of interactions on the spatial localization and the stability of a DB.

Full textThe symmetry analysis is a modern and effective method of mathematical field of differential equations. On its advantages, the algorithmic way for determining the symmetries and constructing solutions. Like any other method it also has its disadvantages; the size and the complexity of the intermediate calculations needed for giving the symmetries is increased exponentially with respect to the equation under investigation. This fact renders the calculations unmanageable by hand and error prone. The need for reliable and fast symbolic tools is apparent. For this reason, we developed a symbolic package called Sym based on the Mathematica program. The package employing artificial intelligent elements and specialized symbolic methods is an effective and versatile mathematical tool ideal for research and education alike. The present thesis consists of two parts; on the first we present the basic notions of the mathematical theory and the reasons that symbolic tools can be utilized. On the second part, we present the symbolic package Sym itself along with two new result employing it. As for the package itself, we give the basic characteristics, its functionality and the benefits using it against the existing programs. Its usefulness is presented through two results. On the first, we study a problem from General Relativity, finding solutions describing gravity waves. The symmetries of the Einstein’s field equations for the radiating Bondi metric are determined from Sym. Using them we reduce the non-linear system. Using specific ansatzes we arrive to specific solutions already found using other methods. Finally, we present our future directions for finding new solutions with the correct physical behavior. On the second, we describe a new procedure for classifying differential equations using the notions of complete symmetry groups and Lie remarkability. Using this procedure we achieved by starting with a set of differential equation to construct a new family that includes the initial set. Future directions include finding a way to link the solutions of the newly constructed family with the solutions of the equations that we use for constructing it.

We will also notify the goal of this thesis. In order to calculate the electronic structure of our investigating system we will use the PMM (Potential Morphing Method) method, the basic principles of which we quote on the second chapter. In the next chapter we present our theoretical model, based in the probability amplitudes method, for the analytical calculation of both the linear (1) and nonlinear susceptibility (3) which illustrate the optical properties of our system. At the end we describe our complex core/shell quantum dots system, we quote the results of the electronic structure calculation and we present the behaviour of linear, nonlinear as well as the total susceptibility of our system through graphs and the necessary discussion of our results.

Full textAs one can understand from the title, our main subject is a method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations and in particular a family of such equations, called evolution equations. Many of them admit a special kind of solutions, known as solitons. One of our basic interests is the integrability of a nonlinear evolution equation, although a specific definition for that does not exist in the bibliography. However, a partial differential equation is considered to be integrable when it can be linearized directly or indirectly. By indirect linearization we mean the existence of a Lax pair for the initial equation and this connection is explained in terms of operator theory. In the frame of integrability, a large number of methods dealing with the study and analysis of nonlinear evolution equations has been developed. We briefly mention some of them and present some examples, while we focus on the analytic description of a method which was introduced by Zakharov and Shabat, in 1974. This method was developed right after the Inverse Scattering Method and it is known as dressing method or ZS scheme. In order to present it, a dressed and undressed operator are introduced, by the use of operators only whithout refering to the scattering data. Based on those operators the generalized Lax equation is produced. Then we present a number of examples of evolution equations which can be solved via the dressing method and finally we constract soliton solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation by solving the Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko integral equation. Appart from the description of dressing method in its initial form, a quick review of recent papers and results is considered. The method evolved through time and was connected with some problems of complex analysis and specifically the Riemann-Hilbert (RH) and dbar problems. Those two problems arise in many mathematical and physical applications. From a wide range of recent published articles, we analytically present one which was written by Bogdanov and Zakharov (2002) and deals with Boussinesq equation. The continuous spectrum and soliton solutions are investigated, using a special form of dressind method called dbar-dressing. Soliton solutions for the Boussinesq equations demonstrate a quite extraordinary behaviour destroying the stereotype of usual solitons which are considered to be stable objects.

Full textIn this diploma thesis we study analytically and numerically the phenomenon of four-wave mixing in intersubband transitions of a symmetric double quantum well structure. In the theoretical model we consider two quantum well subbands that are coupled by a strong coupling electromagnetic field with fixed frequency and a weak probe electromagnetic field with varying frequency. We consider the coherent interaction of the electromagnetic fields with the quantum wells taking into account the effects of electron-electron interactions. For the description of the system dynamics we use the density matrix equations obtained from the generalized nonlinear Bloch equations. These equations are solved numerically for a realistic semiconductor quantum well structure GaAs/AlGaAs with varying electron sheet density. We present results for both continuous and pulsed electromagnetic fields and show that both the intensity and the shape of the four-wave mixing spectrum can be significantly dependent on electron sheet density, on the frequency and the intensity of the coupling field, and in the case of pulsed fields on the delay between the fields.

Full textThis diploma thesis includes the analysis of non linear systems and the design of an aadaptive controller suitable for second order nonlinear systems. In the beginning we present the structure and the properties of nonlineat systems underlining the need for adaptive control. Futhermore, we propose an adaptive control law suitable for second order nonlinear systems which guarantees asympotic stability for the closed loop system. Finally, the proposed controller is applied in two real systems (Duffing's mechanical oscillator,pendulum) and compared with feedback linearization technique, resulting better responses in cases where the system includes uncertain parameters.

Full textThe design and development of low-cost products, with simultaneous fulfilment of the requirements for higher performance and safety, is one of the biggest challenges for the research engineers and the industry. Especially in the sectors of the structural industry (aeronautics, shipbuilding, automotive, space industry) where the products are being produced according to the latest achievements of the technology, the engineer is obliged to design new products with higher proficiency, without neglecting the need for lower cost and development time. This trend has great application mainly in the aeronautical industry, where the reduction of the remarkable cost for the development of a new aircraft, without downgrading the level of safety and the quality of service comprises the main target of the current research effort. The main factor that weighs down the development of new aircrafts, as far as the cost and the time is concerned, is the required experimental tests of the full / large scale under service loads, which affect significantly the development cost and the time to market. These tests are included in the design process, in order to verify the results of the corresponding structural analyses. The importance of the experimental tests and specifically these of the full scale level is amplified by the fact that they are being imposed during the certification process by the Airworthiness Authorities, since the structural analyses of the corresponding scale (full scale) do not provide adequate results. The above mentioned inability of the structural analyses of providing adequate results is based on two main characteristics of the large scale structures. Firstly, the failure prediction in aeronautical (among others) structures requires non-linear analysis, for reasons related to the material behaviour (non-linear behaviour due to composite material damage, elastoplastic behaviour of metallic materials) and the structural behaviour (geometrical non-linearity, contact problems). Secondly, in these structures there is great difference between the dimensions of the local damage initiation region and the dimensions of the whole structure, with the latter being related with the total collapse. The simulation with numerical methods, especially with the use of Finite Elements, of the structural behaviour of large scale structures with the above characteristics, leads to million DOFs (Degrees Of Freedom), whose solution requires non-linear numerical methods. The combination of the size of these models with their non-linear nature renders the problem non-solvable using conventional methodologies and is in fact the reason for the, up to now, not thoroughly utilization of virtual testing (numerical simulations), that would lead to the minimization of the number or even to the complete avoidance of the extensive and costly experimental tests. Based on the above, main objective of this Thesis is the development of new, reliable and integrated methodologies for the non-linear analysis of large scale structures, targeting mainly in the satisfactory prediction of phenomena related to the initiation of local damage, but also being able to evolute up to the appropriate scale (maybe full scale), in order to account the structural behaviour of the whole structure up to the total collapse. On this basis, innovative methodologies are being developed for the structural non-linear analysis and appropriate modifications are proposed for already well-established techniques, in order to be applied on large scale structures. Due to the advantages offered from the rapid and constant progress of computers (speed, memory, software) and the wide usage of commercial tools that are based on the matrix theory (Finite Elements, Boundary Elements), the above mentioned methodologies were developed based on the philosophy of ‘virtual testing’. Due to the fact that the numerical solution methods for non-linear problems in large scale structures are not able to provide adequate results, as mentioned previously, in the present work alternative methodologies and techniques were investigated, approaching the technological problem from the engineer’s view and reliable solutions applicable to an industrial environment were proposed. The procedure that was followed consists of four basic keystones: the linear numerical stress analysis of the whole structure, the check for possible local non-linear behaviour, the local damage analysis (non-linear analysis) and a series of appropriately configured sub-routines, able to redefine the contribution of the regions exhibiting local damage in the structural behaviour of the whole structure. All the routines of the proposed methodologies were accomplished using the commercial Finite Element code ANSYS. The linear numerical stress analysis of the structure was carried out with the use of numerical models simulating the whole structure, divided into suitable parts, based on the geometrical repeatability. The calculated stresses were utilized for the prediction of the local damage, using properly developed damage criteria, depending on the type of non-linearity. The corresponding regions detected, were classified according to the criticality level (critical load) and were elaborated with local analyses of non-linear nature for the simulation of local damage initiation. For the accumulation of the contribution of the local damage in the structural behaviour of the whole structure, appropriate techniques were developed for the description of the local damage and its incorporation in the structural features of the numerical model of the structure. For the determination of the damage evolution, from the first detection up to the final failure, the procedure was performed in an incremental and iterative way. It was proved, that under specific assumptions, the proposed methodologies simulating the non-linear phenomena of large scale structures are capable of providing accurate results, in accordance with those of the experimental tests of full scale level. Simultaneously, the proposed methodologies become also efficient, providing that they have been developed appropriately, in order to focus the available computer resources on the non-linearly behaving regions by the ‘on demand’ application of the non-linear analyses.

At first, we introduce the concept of adaptive control and we underline its’ need in modern applications. Also, we include a brief presentation of nonlinear systems and we inquire into the theory of stabilization and disturbances, with significant emphasis in Lyapunov’s methods. Furthermore we develop a direct adaptive control framework for adaptive stabilization, disturbance rejection, and command following of multivariable nonlinear uncertain dynamical systems with exogenous disturbances, which guarantees partial asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. The proposed framework is further specialized for the cases where the nonlinear system is represented in normal form with input-to-state stable internal dynamics, has single-input with uncertain dynamics, or exogenous L2 disturbances .Finally we present several illustrative numerical examples and we apply our framework to the control of thermoacoustic combustion instabilities.

Full textIn the present thesis, the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of metallic nanoparticles, either encapsulated in polymers or in block copolymers, as well as bimetallic nanoparticles are investigated. Among the purposes of this work is to examine metallic nanostructures based on palladium (Pd), which is one of the least studied metals regarding their nonlinear optical response. In this view, single Pd nanoparticles are compared with another class of recently synthesized Pd-based nanomaterials, i.e., Pd micellar nanohybrids. In addition, gold-silver alloyed nanoparticles are examined and compared with their monometallic counterparts, exhibiting substantial differences and potential application in optoelectronic devices and photonic applications. In all cases, the main motivation of this work is to take advantage of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), located in the ultraviolet or visible spectral area, to enhance/tailor the NLO properties of the metallic/hybrid nanostructures. As a continuation of the low dimensional metallic structures, the NLO response of some carbon-dots and quantum-dots are investigated, aiming to examine the correlation of their optical nonlinearities with their structure and the origin of the NLO enhancement. Therefore, the structure of this thesis is as follows: Initially the basic concepts of nonlinear optics, the physical processes related with it, as well as the physical mechanisms related to the nonlinear refractive index will be presented. Moreover the equations, which describe the nonlinear optical susceptibilities (linear and nonlinear) will be derived. Then, reference will be made to the optical parameters related to the third order optical nonlinearity and to the experimental techniques which were employed for the determination of the nonlinearity, as well as to the procedure followed to derive the nonlinear optical parameters from the acquired experimental data. Moreover, in the beginning of chapter 3 the theory of SPR in metals will be explicitly presented, followed by the experimental results obtained by the Au-Ag nanoalloys. More in detail, AuxAg(1-x) nanoparticles with varying metallic content and optical properties (i.e., SPR) were excited with resonant irradiation conditions (i.e., close to the SPR maximum) both of ps and ns pulse duration. The results demonstrate a straightforward dependence of the NLO response on the gold molar fraction of the alloys, this being attributed to the different band structures of the systems, thus suggesting a mean of tailoring the NLO properties of bimetallic nanostructures. Also, it is shown that under ns laser excitation the nano-alloys exhibit fundamentally different behavior than pure Au and Ag nanoparticles. The samples were produced by fs laser ablation in the University of Montreal by the research group of Prof. Michel Meunier. In chapter 4, the NLO properties of various polymer/Pd systems will be presented. Two different type of materials were investigated: the hybrid micellar CbzeMAx-bAEMAy/Pd and PVP/Pd, which were synthesized in University of Cyprus under the supervision of Prof. Theodora Krasia-Christoforou. As shown, the polymeric environment does not affect the total NLO response, however it can be effectively used to define the size, shape and SPR properties of the nanohybrids. On the contrary, the size of Pd nanoparticles or the micellar core size was found to be determinative for the NLO behavior of the systems. Then, in chapter 5, some low-dimensional hybrid lead-iodide systems are investigated. Specifically, the PbI6 octahedral quantum dots and the two-dimensional (FpAH)2PbI4 structure, consisting of monolayers of (PbI6)4- corner sharing structural units are synthesized in University of Patras, by Prof. Ioannis Koutselas. Under all excitation conditions, the quantum wells were found to exhibit gigantic NLO response in comparison with the quantum dots, reaching even 5 orders of magnitude. Finally, in the last chapter, the NLO response and optical limiting action of a series of carbon-dots, bearing various organic chains attached on their surfaces, will be presented. The carbon-based materials were prepared in the University of Ioannina, by Prof. Athanasios Bourlinos. By comparing the various studied systems, it is shown that the surface passivation is the key to control the NLO behavior of these nanostructures. In this case, of great importance is the sp2/sp3 ratio and consequently the modification of the band structure of carbon-dots, since it can significantly affect their NLO properties.

Full textIn this contribution, we deal with the problem of solving systems of nonlinear algebraic or/and transcendental equations and in particular we are referred to improved algorithmic techniques of such kind of systems. Nonlinear systems arise in many domains of science, such as Mechanics, Medicine, Chemistry, Robotics, Economics, etc. There are several methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. Among them Newton's method is the most famous, because of its quadratic convergence when a good initial guess exists and the Jacobian matrix is nonsingular. Newton's method has some disadvantages, such as local convergence, necessity of computation of Jacobian matrix and the exact solution of linear system at each iteration. In this master thesis we analyze Newton's method and we categorize methods that contribute to the treatment of drawbacks of Newton's method, e.g. Quasi-Newton and Inexact-Newton methods. Some more recent methods which are described in this thesis are the MRV method and two new Newton's methods without direct function evaluations, ideal for problems with inaccurate function values or high computational cost. At the end of this master thesis, we present the basic principles of Interval Analysis and Interval Newton's method.

Full textThis thesis presents the method of identification of nonlinear dynamic system of cardiovascular regulation. Specifically , this method focuses on the identification of the Heart Rate Baroreflex (or Baroreceptor Reflex ) mechanism by observation of the arterial blood pressure which is the input and heart rate which is the output of the system. This model is based on the inherent characteristics of the autonomic nervous system, so we develop an adaptive neuro- fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to represent them. This method allows us to incorporate the physiological functions of our nervous system, such as sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, through the selection of appropriate membership functions , which reflect accurately the behavior of these nerves for the adaptive neuro- fuzzy system . The results agree with the natural characteristics and physiological understanding of the cardiovascular regulatory system, such as delay in the parasympathetic function, durability in the function of sympathetic nerves and the correlation between the heart rate and the arterial blood pressure signals. Proper assessment of Heart Rate Baroreflex mechanism allows clinicians to have more reliable information for their patients.

Their third ordrer optical nonlinearities were investigated by the means of the Z-scan experimental technique. The basic principles and the experimental details of this technique are described in the second chapter of the present work. Moreover, technical details of the experimental setups used are presented, the two most important phaenomena involved in Z-scan, nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction are described, a brief mathematical description and the data analysis details are given. In the first chapter, a comprehensive theoretical basis of the principles of Non-linear Optics is firstly established. Initiating from Maxwell’s equations, the non-linear wave equation is developed step-by-step. The non-linear optical processes of second harmonic generation and sum/difference frequency generation are presented. Consecutively, the very important phaenomena of self-focusing, self-defocusing, saturable and reverse saturable absorption are described. In addition, a quantum-mechanic description of third order nonlinear susceptibility is briefly developed. At last, the contribution mechanisms to the nonlinear refractive index, from the deformation of the electron cloud to the electrostriction and the thermal effects are presented. In the third chapter, some theoretical information about the properties of metal oxides nanoparticles, along with the effects of their size to their behavior and their widely known applications are listed. In brief, the unique details of the synthesis and the assiduous characterization techniques, which were applied in order to illuminate the fringe nature of these nanoscale particles, are given. In the fourth chapter the experimental measurements are apposed in detail, from the UV-Vis-NIR spectra received for every one of the prepared dispersions, to the graphs built on the Z-scan experimental curves. All nonlinear optical parameters deduced, are summed into analytical tables and a lengthy discussion is taking place over all these results. Results are grouped and studied from different perspectives and a bibliographical comparison is done.

Full textThe development of lasers has been a turning point in the history of science. It gave birth to the new field of nonlinear optics (NLO), which is the study of the interaction between intense light radiation and matter. In this regime, the response of matter cannot be considered linearly dependent on the intensity of the applied field, giving rise to significant new types of behavior and a wide spectrum of novel phenomena. Nonlinear optics has now become a rapidly growing field. It is at the forefront of progress in the area of photonics and optoelectronics. This vast development necessitates new materials with large nonlinearities, suitable for NLO applications in the laser and the optical communication technologies (e.g. optical switches). In that context, fullerenes have justifiably attracted considerable interest due to their intriguing physical and chemical properties; the extensive delocalization of their charge, as well as, their small reorganization energy can give rise to fast and high nonlinear optical response. Inevitably, the interest of the scientific community has now turned to the study of sophisticatedly altered fullerene derivatives. Depending on their ability to act as excellent electron acceptors, fullerenes are one of the most prominent chromophores that have been incorporated into multi-component molecular structures. Novel synthetic methods that enable the chemical modification of pristine molecules with electron donating moieties have been developed. This chemical functionalization of fullerenes can result in strong donor-acceptor interactions and photo-induced electron transfer, invigorating their nonlinear optical response. Their potential usage, which can range from photonics and photovoltaics implementations to applications in the biomedical area, is the main driving force of all this research. In the present study, the measurements were performed via the Z-Scan and the Optical Kerr Effect (OKE) techniques. The third order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) and the second order hyperpolarizability γ of the derivatives were determined employing 4 ns and 35 ps laser pulses respectively, at excitation wavelength of 532 nm. In that respect, the main aim of the current study is threefold. Firstly, to provide a complete overview of the third order nonlinear parameters determined. Secondly, to briefly discuss the linkage between the observed nonlinearities with the molecular structures of the examinant hybrids, as well as, the possible effect of photo-induced charge transfer. Lastly, to shed light upon the role of the different pulse duration in the measurements and the dominant contributing physical processes related. Consequently, the first part of this work provides some basic concepts of nonlinear optics and the physical processes related with it. Then reference will be made to the experimental techniques used, including the fundamental background of the data analysis procedure. Finally, the nonlinearities observed in the picosecond and nanosecond regime are presented.

Full textA relatively new area of active research involves the study of the optical properties of quantum systems (atoms/molecules and semiconductor quantum dots) coupled to plasmonic (metallic) nanostructures. The large fields and the strong light confinement associated with the plasmonic resonances enable strong interaction between the electromagnetic field and quantum systems near plasmonic nanostructures. In addition, using the quantum system one may achieve external control of the optical properties of the hybrid photonic structure. In this thesis we analyze both theoretically and computationally the optical response of hybrid nanosystems comprised of quantum emitters and plasmonic nanostructures. We put emphasis on the study of nonlinear and quantum optical processes. In these systems the spontaneous decay rate and the electromagnetic field that interacts with the quantum emitter is significantly modified by the surface plasmons of the plasmonic nanostructures. We study cases of both simple and more involved plasmonic nanostructures. An example of a simple plasmonic nanostructure considered in this thesis is a metallic nanosphere, while a more involved one is a two-dimensional array of metal-coated dielectric nanospheres. The quantum systems are atoms/molecules and especially semiconductor quantum dots and are described by two-level, three-level or four-level systems. We find that several coherent optical phenomena that happen in the quantum systems can be strongly influenced by the presence of the plasmonic nanostructure. Specifically, we show that effects such as quantum interference in spontaneous emission, controlled population inversion, optical transparency and gain without inversion, slow light, enhanced nonlinear optical Kerr effect and four-wave mixing as well as phase-dependent absorption and dispersion profiles can be created and modified.

Full textThis dissertation considers the problem of stability analysis and control of dynamical systems under constraints in the input and/or state vector. The theoretical tools used arise from Lyapunov stability theory, comparison systems theory and set theoretic methods and lead to the determination of stability conditions and development of systematic methods that solve the control problem of constrained systems of particular type. In specific, for linear discrete or continuous time systems, a novel method that leads to the solution of the initial condition set stabilization problem as well as the maximal controlled invariant set computation problem is presented. These results have been extended for the case of linear systems with polytopic uncertainty. Also, the category of auto regressive moving average (ARMA) models is investigated. First, conditions that guarantee stability for a preassigned initial conditions set for constrained ARMA models are established. These results are applied to the category of networked control systems (NCS), were a single linear state feedback control law is computed for the whole range of the input delay. Finally, the category of bilinear discrete-time or continuous-time systems is investigated. Initially, sufficient conditions which guarantee existence of polyhedral Lyapunov functions are presented. The problem studied here is the stabilization of an initial condition set in the presence of input and state constraints. The solution proposed is suboptimal and leads to the determination of a linear state feedback control law. The choice of Lyapunov functions leads to the determination of a polyhedral approximation of the domain of attraction as well as polyhedral positively invariant sets. The main benefits of choosing this type of functions is the nonconservative estimation of the domain of attraction and the establishment of stability conditions that lead to systematic control design methods through the solution of linear programming problems.

Full textAt the present study a numerical-topological methology of solving systems of highly non-linear, redundant equations, deriving from observations of certain geophysical processes and geodetic data was examined. The motivation of developing this technique was to estimate the characteristic values of the magma source of the Santorini volcano during a slow-inflation episode. The adjustment of such systems cannot be based on conventional least-squares techniques, and is based on various numerical inversion techniques. Still these techniques lead to solutions trapped in local minima, to correlated estimates and to solutions with poor error control. To overcome these problems, a numerical-topological, grid-search based technique in the RN space is proposed, a generalization and refinement of techniques used in some cases of low-accuracy 2-D positioning using Wi-fi etc. The basic concept is to define a grid in RN space which contains the true solution. In this grid the set of the estimated solution is mapped as the intersection of grid spaces of each observation. The efficiency of the proposed method is that it can incorporate weights of observations and optimize the solution based on them, and also it can compute variance-covariance matrices.

Full textIn this master thesis our subject is to construct solutions for nolinear partial differential evolution equations (PDEs), which are equations that describe a physical model that evolves in time, and can be either linear or nonlinear. For solving linear PDEs we use the Fourier Transform (FT), while for nonlinear PDEs a general method for constructing solutions does not exist. Many of them admit special kind of solutions that are called solitons. A basic property of solitons, is that they interact in an elastic way. In 1965, Zabusky and Kruskal were the first to discover that the Korteweg & de Vries (KdV) equation admits a soliton solution. Straightforward Gardner, Greene, Kruskal and Miura [1967, 1974] found a method to contruct a soliton solution for the KdV equation. This method is based on the Inverse Scattering Transform (IST). The IST is the nonlinear FT- analogue, and a big part of our work is devoted to this method. Particularly: In the first chapter, we introduce some examples of linear evolution equations in one spatial dimension, and their solutions. We then construct soliton solutions for nonlinear evolution PDEs and an example in 2 spatial dimensions is considered. The second chapter deals with Initial Value Problems (IVP) and their solution construction via the FT. We also apply the IST to construct solutions for nonlinear evolution PDEs. In the third chapter, we consider KdV as an example of an evolution equation that is integrable under the IST, by the knowledge of the initial distribution of the solution. For a specific choise of the initial condition we establish that KdV equation admits soliton solutions. Especially, we choose initial conditions that evolve in time to 1-soliton, 2-soliton and multi-soliton solution. Finally, we present a program with Mathematica that constructs multi-soliton solution for the KdV. The lax pair for a nonlinear evolution equation is introduced in the fourth chapter. Lax pairs are pairs of linear PDEs and, often, their compatibility condition is the nonlinear equation we study. The method produced by Ablowitz, Kaup, Newell and Segur (AKNS), for constructing solutions for nonlinear evolution equations, is based on Lax pairs. We apply this method to KdV. The last chapter refers to Riemann Hilbert (RH) problems and their connection with the Inverse Scattering problem. We use KdV to show this connection. Finally, we mention how an Initial and Boundary Value Problem (IBVP) and an RH problem are connected. A quick review of recent results is considered.

Full textIn this PhD thesis, we study analytically and numerically linear and nonlinear optical phenomena in intersubband transitions of a symmetric GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well structure, with two energy subbands. In the first chapter, a theoretical description of the semiconductor heterostructures is presented. This is accompanied with a brief analysis of the basic elements of statistical and quantum mechanics follows, as far as this kind of structures is concerned. In the second chapter, we derive the generalised optical Bloch equations in intersubband transitions of semiconductor quantum well structures, which constitute the basis of the analysis that follows. These equations contain terms which owe their presence to the electron-electron interactions, because the quantum structure is doped with electron carriers. In the two following chapters, we consider the interaction of intersubband transitions of a double quantum well structure with an electromagnetic field of varying frequency, we derive analytical expressions for the first, third and fifth order optical susceptibility and, at last, we analyze the corresponding spectra, with respect to the frequency of the external field, for different values of electron sheet density of the structure. Furthermore, we identify the areas of values of the parameters used, in which the phenomenon of optical bistability arises. In the last three chapters, we consider the two quantum well subbands to be coupled to a strong pump electromagnetic field with fixed frequency and a weak probe electromagnetic field of varying frequency and study the spectra of various linear and nonlinear optical phenomena, which are due to the existence of the probe field. More specifically, we examine the spectra of four-wave mixing, absorption, dispersion and the nonlinear optical Kerr effect of the probe field as they evolve in time and in the steady state. Both analytical expressions are derived and numerical results are presented by solving the nonlinear differential density matrix equations that govern the dynamics of the system. In the study of the different kinds of optical phenomena, the influence of the electron sheet density on the spectral shapes is carefully examined.

Full textThis diploma thesis includes the analysis of the nonlinear system of a ball-beam and the design of different control laws. Initially, we present the physical system and we derive the mathematical model from the lagrange equation.The nonlinear system fails to be stable with the classic linear control laws and we try to stabilize it by input-state and inputoutput linearization. The ball beam system fails to be controlled by full state linearization and we proposed some approximations for inputoutput linearization. We describe in detail how we can derive the approximate control laws and through simulation we are capable of choosing the best suitable control law. We propose a switch-controller for the nonlinear system which is vital for systems with undefined relative degree and are not input state linearizable.

Full textThe contribution of this thesis focuses on the development and the Mathematical foundation of new conjugate gradient methods for unconstrained optimization and on the study of new neural network training methods and their applications. We propose two new conjugate gradient methods for unconstrained optimization. The proposed methods are based on new secant equations with strong theoretical advantages i.e. they approximate the surface of the objective function with higher accuracy. Moreover, they have the attractive property of ensuring sufficient descent independent of the accuracy of the line search, avoiding thereby the usual inefficient restarts. Further, we have established the global convergence of the proposed methods for general functions under mild conditions. Based on our numerical results we conclude that our proposed methods outperform classical conjugate gradient methods in both efficiency and robustness. The second part of the thesis is devoted on the study and development of new neural network training algorithms. More specifically, we propose some new training methods which preserve the advantages of classical conjugate gradient methods while simultaneously ensure sufficient descent using any line search, avoiding thereby the usual inefficient restarts. Moreover, we have established the global convergence of our proposed methods for general functions. Encouraging numerical experiments on famous benchmarks verify that the presented methods provide fast, stable and reliable convergence, outperforming classical training methods. Finally, the presentation of the research work of this dissertation is fulfilled with the presentation of a new curvilinear algorithm for training large neural networks which is based on the analysis of the eigenstructure of the memoryless BFGS matrices. The proposed method preserves the strong convergence properties provided by the quasi-Newton direction while simultaneously it exploits the nonconvexity of the error surface through the computation of the negative curvature direction without using any storage and matrix factorization. Our numerical experiments have shown that the proposed method outperforms other popular training methods on famous benchmarks. Furthermore, for improving the generalization capability of trained ANNs, we explore the incorporation of several dimensionality reduction techniques as a pre-processing step. To this end, we have experimentally evaluated the application of dimensional reduction techniques for increasing the generalization capability of neural network in large biomedical datasets.

Full textThe issue of progressive collapse came to the foreground with the collapse of the Ronan Point Building in the UK, in 1968. In response to this event, most reinforced concrete codes around the work integrated regulations in regard to protection of buildings against progressive collapse. Two two-span slab assemblies are analysed for the collapse of the outer support. The first assembly is reinforce according to the common practice, while the second has added reinforced to the top end of the spans. The analyses are performed with ANSYS and compared with experimental results. It is concluded that commonly reinforced slabs do not have the ability to withstand large deflections. Additional top end reinforcement gives slabs the necessary plasticity in order for large deflections to be developed and tension (tie) forces to build up in the section.

Simple and composite nonlinear piecewise-linear resistors have been designed, simulated and implemented. A great care is shown towards implementing the Chua’s diode and designing and implementing the chaotic Chua’s circuit itself. At the same time some basics of chaos theory are given. Moreover, a hyperchaotic oscillator is studied which is suitable for synchronization and application in secure communications. This hyperchaotic oscillator is based on a LC oscillator and the well-known Deliyannis SAB coupled by means of a diode. To all above, one should add the very rich bibliography, which has now been accumulated for the benefit of all concerned in the Electronics Laboratory.

Full textA method for the numerical simulation of two-dimensional, inviscid, free-surface flow resulting from the propagation of regular gravity water waves over topography with arbitrary bottom shape is presented. The method is based on the numerical solution of the Euler equations subject to the fully nonlinear free-surface boundary conditions and the appropriate bottom, inflow and outflow conditions using a hybrid scheme of finite-differences and pseudo-spectral method. The formulation includes a boundary-fitted transformation. The validation of the pressure solver is accomplished by applying it to the two-dimensional, temperature, steady problem, under differing boundary conditions. For the free-surface flow, a wave absorption zone is attached at the outflow domain in order to minimize reflection effects. The absorption zone effectiveness is validated by the simulation of linear waves propagation over constant-depth bottom. Minimal reflection occurs when an appropriate external dynamic pressure is imposed on the free surface of the absorption zone. Results are presented for cases of wave propagation over constant slope bottom, with slopes 1:10 and 1:50, for various incoming wavelengths and wave heights. Over the bottom slope, lengths of waves in the linear regime are modified according to linear theory dispersion. For waves in the nonlinear regime, wave lengths are becoming shorter, while the free surface elevation deviates from its initial sinusoidal shape and the wave height increases due to shoaling.

The non-linear optical properties of the above systems were investigated by the Z-scan technique. In particular, their non-linear optical response was studied under pulsed laser excitation having duration 35 ps and 8 ns, at 532 and 1064 nm. Several factors, like resonant enhancement, symmetry reduction, electron delocalization and charge transfer, were found to influence significantly the non-linear optical properties of these molecules.
