In this paper, a generalized switching modification method is proposed to reduce the root-mean-square (rms) current flowing into a dc-link capacitor in a dc–dc–ac structure consisting of a boost converter and a three-phase inverter. To analyze the current flowing into the capacitor, we analyze the currents at the respective converter and inverter sides. Based on this analysis, we derive an analytical method to find the modification time between the converter and inverter pulsewidth modulation (PWM) carriers through a Fourier series and approximation to facilitate real-time implementation. Real-time implementation of the modification time calculated by the derived method is described. To verify the validity of the proposed method, experimental results are presented based on a 1-kVA dc–dc–ac prototype. The proposed method has a better capacitor rms current reduction performance than the conventional method in various inverter power factors and PWM strategies. Especially, it has an excellent performance in mid-power factor level (0.95–0.1). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Fourier series method for implementing the Rayleigh hypothesis [Rayleigh-Fourier method (RFM)] is used as a reference solution to assess the Kirchhoff approximation of the Helmholtz integral [Helmholtz-Kirchhoff approximation (HKA)] for modeling broadband scatter from sinusoidal surfaces at low grazing angles. The HKA is a valuable solution because it has an eigen-ray interpretation without unbounded caustic amplitudes and discontinuous shadow zones. Plane wave studies of the HKA, however, show it becomes inaccurate at low grazing angles. This study quantifies how this limitation manifests with increasing transmission distance for time domain scattering simulations. Scattering results are compared over a complete surface wave cycle with parameters modeling sea surface-swell. The HKA agrees reasonably well with the RFM in point source calculations for limited extensions of transmission distances beyond where plane wave comparisons begin to diverge. Past these distances, HKA solutions begin to show significant over-prediction of the acoustic amplitude around late arrivals. This over-prediction is frequency dependent and eigen-ray interference offers an explanation of this behavior. Further extending the transmission range leads to a significant HKA error, and a range is found at which flat surface reflections have less error. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work is concerned with the asymptotic analysis of linearly elastic plates with periodically rapidly varying heterogeneities. For the sake of simplicity we assume that the structure of heterogeneity is homogeneous in the direction perpendicular to the mid-surface of the plate. We want to derive a homogenized two-dimensional model which is independent of the magnitude of the applied load. Consequently we have to proceed in the following manner. Firstly, we consider a two-dimensional model of the plate obtained by expanding the displacement field by Fourier-Series expansion in thickness direction of the plate with respect to a basis of scaled Legendre polynomials. We consider a second order approximation of the displacement field which gives a good compromise between the accuracy of the approximate solution and the complexity of the approximate problem. This approximation result from an approximation of the Fourier series expansion of the displacement field up to order h6 (h denotes the thickness of the plate). By considering standard argument for this type of problem, we can rigorously formulate a two-dimensional homogenized boundary value problem for the plate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The deferred Cesàro transformations which have useful properties not possessed by the Cesàro transformation was considered by R.P. Agnew in [1]. In [9], Değer and Küçükaslan introduced a generalization of deferred Cesaro transformations by taking account of some well known transformations such as Woronoi-Nörlund and Riesz, and considered the degree of approximation by the generalized deferred Cesaro means in the space H(α, p), p ≥ 1, 0 < α ≤ 1 by concerning with some sequence classes. In 2014, Nayak et al. studied the rate of convergence problem of Fourier series by deferred Cesaro mean in the space Hp(w) introduced by Das et al. in [7]. In this study we shall give the degree of approximation by the generalized deferred Cesàro means in the space Hp(w). Therefore the results given in [ ] are generalized according to the summability method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, a comprehensive approach for model order reduction based on a Fourier series of a discrete system representation is proposed. The developed method represents an alternative to model reduction of large‐scale dynamical systems and can be used for the analysis of unstable dynamic systems and the study of interactions among power system controls. Drawing on the principle of conformal mapping, the linearised system model is first transformed into its discrete equivalent. Then, the Fourier series of the discrete‐time transfer function is used to obtain a reduced‐order model (ROM). Using this model, approximate Hankel‐based interaction measures are proposed to efficiently analyse large, unstable linear system representations and determine pairs of input outputs to design controller. The high degree of applicability and accuracy offered by the method, and its ability to extract ROMs from stable and unstable systems is demonstrated on three test systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider the problem of the mean-square approximation of complex functions regular in a domain D ⊂ C by Fourier serieswith respect to an orthogonal (inD) systemof functions {ϕk(z)}, k = 0, 1, 2,.... For the case inwhich D = {z ∈ C: |z| < 1}, we obtain sharp estimates for the rate of convergence of the Fourier series in the orthogonal system {zk}, k = 0, 1, 2,..., for classes of functions defined by a special mth-order modulus of continuity. Exact values of the series of n-widths for these classes of functions are calculated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Shape-based methods are becoming popular in low-thrust trajectory optimization due to their fast computation speeds. In existing shape-based methods constraints are treated at the acceleration level but not at the thrust level. These two constraint types are not equivalent since spacecraft mass decreases over time as fuel is expended. This paper develops a shape-based method based on a Fourier series approximation that is capable of representing trajectories defined in spherical coordinates and that enforces thrust constraints. An objective function can be incorporated to minimize overall mission cost, i.e., achieve minimum Δ V . A representative mission from Earth to Mars is studied. The proposed Fourier series technique is demonstrated capable of generating feasible and near-optimal trajectories. These attributes can facilitate future low-thrust mission designs where different trajectory alternatives must be rapidly constructed and evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate convergence and divergence of partial sums with respect to the 2-dimensional Walsh system on the martingale Hardy spaces. In particular, we find some conditions for the modulus of continuity which provide convergence of partial sums of Walsh-Fourier series. We also show that these conditions are in a sense necessary and sufficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We demonstrate that the Fourier partial sums of a Lipschitz continuous function on the two-dimensional special unitary group converge uniformly to the function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We extend the results presented by Xh. Z. Krasniqi (Slight extensions of some theorems on the rate of pointwise approximation of functions from some subclasses of Lp. Acta Comment. Univ. Tartu. Math., 2013, 17, 89-101) and W. Lenski and B. Szal (Approximation of functions belonging to the class Lp(w) by linear operators. Acta Comment. Univ. Tartu.

Let the function f belong to the Hölder class Hα(Ω), 0 < α ≤ 1, where Ω is the spectral set of the hexagonal lattice in the Euclidean plane: Also, let p = (pn) and q = (qn) be two sequences of non-negative real numbers such that pn < qn and qn → ∞ as n → ∞: The order of approximation of f by deferred Cesàro means Dn (p; q; f) of its hexagonal Fourier series is estimated in the uniform and Hölder norms.

We introduce a generalized sigmoidal transformation wm(r;x) on a given interval [a,b] with a threshold at x=r∈(a,b). Using wm(r;x), we develop a weighted averaging method in order to improve Fourier partial sum approximation for a function having a jump-discontinuity. The method is based on the decomposition of the target function into the left-hand and the right-hand part extensions. The resultant approximate function is composed of the Fourier partial sums of each part extension. The pointwise convergence of the presented method and its availability for resolving Gibbs phenomenon are proved. The efficiency of the method is shown by some numerical examples.

The study of infinite matrices is important in the theory of summability and in approximation. In particular, Toeplitz matrices or regular matrices and almost regular matrices have been very useful in this context. In this paper, we propose to use a more general matrix method to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions to sum the conjugate derived Fourier series. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Here we develop an option pricing method based on Legendre series expansion of the density function. The key insight, relying on the close relation of the characteristic function with the series coefficients, allows to recover the density function rapidly and accurately. Based on this representation for the density function, approximations formulas for pricing European type options are derived. To obtain highly accurate result for European call option, the implementation involves integrating high degree Legendre polynomials against exponential function. Some numerical instabilities arise because of serious subtractive cancellations in its formulation (96) in Proposition A.1. To overcome this difficulty, we rewrite this quantity as solution of a second-order linear difference equation and solve it using a robust and stable algorithm from Olver. Derivation of the pricing method has been accompanied by an error analysis. Errors bounds have been derived and the study relies more on smoothness properties which are not provided by the payoff functions, but rather by the density function of the underlying stochastic models. This is particularly relevant for options pricing where the payoffs of the contract are generally not smooth functions. The numerical experiments on a class of models widely used in quantitative finance show exponential convergence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new accurate iterative and asymptotic method is introduced to construct analytical approximate solutions to strongly nonlinear conservative symmetric oscillators. The method is based on applying a second-order expansion with the harmonic balance method and it excludes the requirement of solving a set of coupled nonlinear algebraic equations. Newton's iteration or the linearized model may be readily deduced by considering only the first-order terms in the model. According to this iterative approach, only Fourier series expansions of restoring force function, its first- and second-order derivatives for each iteration are required. It is concluded here that by only one single iteration, very brief and yet accurate analytical approximate solutions can be attained. Three physical examples are solved and accurate solutions are presented to illustrate the physics of the system and the effectiveness of the proposed asymptotic method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a thermal tomography measurement setup, a physical body is sequentially heated at different source locations and temperature evolutions are measured at several measurement locations on the surface of the body. Based on these transient measurements, the thermal conductivity, the volumetric heat capacity and the surface heat transfer coefficient of the body are estimated as spatially distributed parameters, typically by minimizing a modified data misfit functional between the measured data and the data computed with the estimated thermal parameters. In thermal tomography, heat transfer is modeled with the time-dependent heat diffusion equation for which direct time domain solving is computationally expensive. In this paper, the computations of thermal tomography are sped up by utilizing a truncated Fourier series approximation approach. In this approach, a frequency domain equivalent of the time domain heat diffusion equation is solved at multiple frequencies and the solutions are used to obtain a truncated Fourier series approximation for the solution and the Jacobian of the time domain heat transfer problem. The feasibility of the approximation is tested with simulated and experimental measurement data. When compared to a previously used time domain approach, it is shown to lead to a significant reduction of computation time in image reconstruction with no significant loss of reconstruction accuracy.

We study Fourier series of Jacobi polynomials P ( x), k = r, r +1,..., orthogonal with respect to the Sobolev-type inner product of the following form: $$\left\langle {f,g} \right\rangle = \sum\limits_{v = 0}^{r - 1} {{f^{\left( v \right)}}} \left( { - 1} \right){g^{\left( v \right)}}\left( { - 1} \right) + \int_{ - 1}^1 {{f^{\left( r \right)}}} {g^{\left( r \right)}}\left( t \right){\left( {1 - t} \right)^\alpha }dt$$ . It is shown that such series are a particular case of mixed series of Jacobi polynomials P ( x), k = 0, 1,..., considered earlier by the author. We study the convergence of mixed series of general Jacobi polynomials and their approximation properties. The results obtained are applied to the study of the approximation properties of Fourier series of Sobolev orthogonal Jacobi polynomials P ( x). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Degree of approximation of functions of different classes has been studied by several researchers by different summability methods. In the proposed paper, we have established a new theorem for the approximation of a signal (function) belonging to the W(Lr, ξ(t))-class by (..., pn, qn)(E, s)-product summability means of a Fourier series. The result obtained here, generalizes several known theorems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, an optimally scaled Fourier expansion method with half-order technique, referred to as OSFEM(H), is developed based on the combination of the optimal scaling and the half-order techniques. The optimal scaling technique is employed to reduce the ill-posedness which may arise from using high order Fourier expansion series to approximate periodic solutions. The half-order technique is a powerful tool with which one can use an m -order Fourier expansion to interpolate as many as up to 4 m + 1 points. In this paper, the best scales in the multi-scale Fourier expansion interpolation are derived based on the idea of equating the norm of each column of the interpolated matrix, such that the condition number of the preconditioned matrix is minimized. Then, the present half-order OSFEM, i.e. OSFEM(H), is used to solve the Duffing equation. It is shown that excellent results are achieved by comparing with the differential transformation method and the harmonic balance method. Numerical simulations verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the presently proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An approximation of functions in Müntz spaces M Λ , L 1 of L 1 functions is studied with the help of Fourier series. Müntz spaces are considered with the Müntz condition and the gap condition imposed. It is proved that up to an isomorphism such spaces are contained in Weil–Nagy's class. Moreover, existence of Schauder bases in Müntz spaces M Λ , L 1 is investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For given p ∈ [ 1 , ∞ ] and g ∈ L p ( R ) , we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions f ∈ L p ( R ) , to the equation f ( x ) − a f ( b x ) = g ( x ) , where a ∈ R , b ∈ R ∖ { 0 } , and | a | ≠ | b | 1 / p . Solutions include well-known nowhere differentiable functions such as those of Bolzano, Weierstrass, Hardy, and many others. Connections and consequences in the theory of fractal interpolation, approximation theory, and Fourier analysis are established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We estimate the pointwise approximation of periodic func- tions belonging to Lp(ω)β-class, where ω is an integral modulus of conti- nuity type function associated with f, using product means of the Fourier series of f generated by the product of two general linear operators. We also discuss the case p = 1 separately. This case has not been mentioned in the earlier results given by various authors. The deviations obtained in our theorems are free from p and more sharper than the earlier results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we prove direct and inverse theorems on the approximation of functions by Fourier-Laplace sums in the spaces S(σ), m ≥ 3, in terms of best approximations and moduli of continuity and consider the constructive characteristics of function classes defined by the moduli of continuity of their elements.

Various investigators have studied the degree of approximation of a function using different summability (Cesáro means of order α: Cα, Euler Eq, and Nörlund Np) means of its Fourier-Laguerre series at the point x=0 after replacing the continuity condition in Szegö theorem by much lighter conditions. The product summability methods are more powerful than the individual summability methods and thus give an approximation for wider class of functions than the individual methods. This has motivated us to investigate the error estimation of a function by (T·Eq)-transform of its Fourier-Laguerre series at frontier point x=0, where T is a general lower triangular regular matrix. A particular case, when T is a Cesáro matrix of order 1, that is, C1, has also been discussed as a corollary of main result. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP), transit orbit is a class of orbit which can pass through the bottleneck region of the zero velocity curve and escapes from the vicinity of the primary or the secondary. This kind of orbit plays a very important role in the design of space exploration missions. A kind of low-energy interplanetary transfer, which is called Interplanetary Superhighway (IPS), can be realized by utilizing transit orbits. To use the transit orbit in actual mission design, a key issue is to find an algorithm which can separate the states corresponding to transit orbits from the states corresponding to other types of orbits rapidly. In fact, the distribution of transit orbit in the phase space has been investigated by numerical method, and a Fourier series approximation method has been introduced to describe the boundary of transit orbits. However, the Fourier series approximation method needs several hundred sets of Fourier series. The coefficients of these Fourier series are neither easy to be computed nor convenient to be stored, which makes the method can hardly be used in actual mission design. In this paper, the support vector machine (SVM) is used to classify the trajectories in the CR3BP. Using the Gaussian kernel, the 6-dimensional states in the CR3BP are mapped into an infinite-dimensional space, and the bound of the transit orbits is described by a hyperplane. A training data generation method is introduced, which reduces the size of training data by generating the states near the hyperplane. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm gives the good correct rate of classification, and its computing speed is much faster than that of the Fourier series approximation method.

A model of the optimal representation of spatial data for the task of complex correlation-extreme navigation is developed based on the criterion of minimum deviation of the correlation functions of the original and the resulting fields. Calculations are presented for one-dimensional case using the approximation of the correlation function by Fourier series. It is shown that in the presence of different geophysical map data fields their representation is possible by single template with optimal sampling without distorting the form of the correlation functions.

Recently, a simple time domain collocation (TDC) method was proposed by researchers including the first author of the present paper, and has been successfully applied to obtain the harmonic, subharmonic, and superharmonic responses of the nonlinear Duffing oscillator. The TDC method is based on the point-collocation method performing within an appropriate period of the periodic solution, wherein the approximate solution is assumed as a Fourier series. Upon using the TDC method, the ordinary differential equation is transformed into a system of non-linear algebraic equations (NAEs), which can be readily solved by an NAE solver. In this study, using the Duffing oscillator as the prototype, we develop a multiple scale time domain collocation (MSTDC) method, by introducing a series of optimal multiple scales to the Fourier series of the approximate solution, to alleviate the ill-posedness of the system of collocation-resulting NAEs due to the inclusion of very high order harmonics in the approximate solution. Besides the MSTDC method, a multiple scale differential transformation (MSDT) method is proposed by introducing the multiple scales to the classical differential transformation method. Finally, numerical experiments are carried out to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the MSTDC and the MSDT methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Analysis of signals or time functions are of great importance, because it convey information or attributes of some phenomenon. In this paper, we consider the functions/signals defined in terms of their integral modulus of continuity and approximate them by matrix means of their trigonometric Fourier series. The error of approximation obtained in this paper depends on the integral modulus of continuity of the signal. We also discuss an example to show the application of the result in the situation when the Fourier series of the signal has Gibbs phenomenon. We also discuss some corollaries of our theorems.

Abstract: In this paper, we consider fractional sub-diffusion equation on two-dimensional unbounded domains and obtain an exact and some approximating artificial boundary conditions for it by a joint application of the Laplace transform and the Fourier series expansion. In order to test the derived artificial boundary condition, after reducing the main problem to an initial–boundary value problem on bounded domain by imposing the obtained boundary condition, we just use classical Crank–Nicolson method for space variables and L1 approximation for the fractional time derivative. Some numerical examples are given which confirm the effectiveness of the proposed artificial boundary conditions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
