Abstract: We study the roughening transition of an interface in an Ising system on a 3D simple cubic lattice using a finite size scaling method. The particular method has recently been proposed and successfully tested for various solid on solid models. The basic idea is the matching of the renormalization-groupflow of the interface with that of the exactly solvable body centered cubic solid on solid model. We unambiguously confirm the Kosterlitz-Thouless nature of the roughening transition of the Ising interface. Our result for the inverse transition temperature K_R = 0.40754(5) is almost by two orders of magnitude more accurate than the estimate of Mon, Landau and Stauffer [9].
The purpose of this paper is to present the state of the art in singular optimal control. If the Hamiltonian in an interval \([t_1,t_2]\) is independent of the control we call the control in this interval singular. Singular optimal controls appear in many applications so that research has been motivated since the 1950s. Often optimal controls consist of nonsingular and singular parts where the junctions between these parts are mostly very difficult to find. One section of this work shows the actual knowledge about the location of the junctions and the behaviour of the control at the junctions. The definition and the properties of the orders (problem order and arc order), which are important in this context, are given, too. Another chapter considers multidimensional controls and how they can be treated. An alternate definition of the orders in the multidimensional case is proposed and a counterexample, which confirms a remark given in the 1960s, is given. A voluminous list of optimality conditions, which can be found in several publications, is added. A strategy for solving optimal control problems numerically is given, and the existing algorithms are compared with each other. Finally conclusions and an outlook on the future research is given.
Die Theorie der mehrdimensionalen Systeme ist ein relativ junges Forschungsgebiet innerhalb der Systemtheorie, erste Arbeiten stammen aus den 70er Jahren. Hauptmotiv für das Studium multidimensionaler Systeme war die Notwendigkeit einer Erweiterung der Theorie der digitalen Filter, die in der klassischen, eindimensionalen Signalverarbeitung (zeitabhängige Signale) Anwendung finden, auf den Bereich der Bildverarbeitung, also auf zweidimensionale Signale.; Die Vorlesung beschäftigt sich daher in ihrem ersten Teil mit skalaren zweidimensionalen Systemen und beschränkt sich im wesentlichen auf den linearen Fall. Untersucht werden zweidimensionale Filter, ihre wichtigsten Eigenschaften, Kausalität und Stabilität, sowie ihre Zustandsraum- realisierungen, etwa die Modelle von Roesser und Fornasini-Marchesini. Parallelen und Unterschiede zur eindimensionalen Systemtheorie werden betont.; Im zweiten Teil der Vorlesung werden allgemeine höherdimensionale und multivariable Systeme behandelt. Für diese Systeme erweist sich der von Jan Willems begründete Zugang zur Systemtheorie, der sogenannte behavioral approach, als zweckmäßig. Grundlegende Ideen dieses Ansatzes sowie eine der wichtigsten Methoden zum Rechnen mit Polynomen in mehreren Variablen, die Theorie der Gröbnerbasen, werden vorgestellt.
Here the almost sure convergence of one dimensional Kohonen" s algorithm in its general form, namely, 2k point neightbour setting with a non-uniform stimuli distribution is proved. We show that the asymptotic behaviour of the algorithm is governed by a cooperative system of differential equations which in general is irreducible. The system of differential equation has an asymptotically stable fixed point which a compact subset of its domain of attraction will be visited by the state variable Xn infinitely often.
For the case of the single-O(N)-vector linear sigma models the critical behaviour following from any A_k singularity in the action is worked out in the double scaling limit N->infinity, f_r -> f_r^c, 2 <= r <= k. After an exact elimination of Gaussian degrees of freedom, the critical objects such as coupling constants, indices and susceptibility matrix are derived for all A_k and spacetime dimensions 0 <= D <= 4. There appear exceptional spacetime dimensions where the degree k of the singularity A_k is more strongly constrained than by the renormalizability requirement.
We present first steps towards fully automated deduction that merely requiresthe user to submit proof problems and pick up results. Essentially, this necessi-tates the automation of the crucial step in the use of a deduction system, namelychoosing and configuring an appropriate search-guiding heuristic. Furthermore,we motivate why learning capabilities are pivotal for satisfactory performance.The infrastructure for automating both the selection of a heuristic and integra-tion of learning are provided in form of an environment embedding the "core"deduction system.We have conducted a case study in connection with a deduction system basedon condensed detachment. Our experiments with a fully automated deductionsystem 'AutoCoDe' have produced remarkable results. We substantiate Au-toCoDe's encouraging achievements with a comparison with the renowned the-orem prover Otter. AutoCoDe outperforms Otter even when assuming veryfavorable conditions for Otter.
Evolving Combinators
(1996)
One of the many abilities that distinguish a mathematician from an auto-mated deduction system is to be able to offer appropriate expressions based onintuition and experience that are substituted for existentially quantified variablesso as to simplify the problem at hand substantially. We propose to simulate thisability with a technique called genetic programming for use in automated deduc-tion. We apply this approach to problems of combinatory logic. Our experimen-tal results show that the approach is viable and actually produces very promisingresults. A comparison with the renowned theorem prover Otter underlines theachievements.This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
We present a concept for an automated theorem prover that employs a searchcontrol based on ideas from several areas of artificial intelligence (AI). The combi-nation of case-based reasoning, several similarity concepts, a cooperation conceptof distributed AI and reactive planning enables a system using our concept tolearn form previous successful proof attempts. In a kind of bootstrapping processeasy problems are used to solve more and more complicated ones.We provide case studies from two domains of interest in pure equationaltheorem proving taken from the TPTP library. These case studies show thatan instantiation of our architecture achieves a high grade of automation andoutperforms state-of-the-art conventional theorem provers.
