Model-supported optimization of phototrophic growth in a stirred-tank photobioreactor

TL;DR: A fuzzy‐logic light attenuation model was developed and validated for a stirred‐tank photobioreactor and local light intensities were used to calculate local specific growth rates of the cyanobacteria Synechococcus PCC 7942.

Global error versus tolerance for explicit Runge-Kutta methods

TL;DR: The potential for 'tolerance proportionality' in existing explicit Runge-Kutta algorithms is examined, taking account of recent developments in the derivation of high-order formulae, defect control strategies, and interpolants for continuous solution and first derivative approximations.

Numerical comparisons of some explicit Runge-Kutta pairs of orders 4 through 8

TL;DR: Numerical testing of six explicit Runge-Kutta pairs showed how the performance could be alterednoticeably by making simple changes to the stepsize selection strategy, and new ways of presenting numericalcomparisons were demonstrated.

Thermal pre- and post-snap-through buckling of a geometrically imperfect doubly-clamped microbeam made of temperature-dependent functionally graded materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a geometrically nonlinear size-dependent governing equation of a thermally loaded doubly-clamped microbeam made of temperature-dependent FGMs is derived in the framework of modified couple stress theory in conjunction with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and the classical rule of mixture.

Nonlinear Variable Structure Filter for the Online Trajectory Scaling

TL;DR: A new discrete-time filter, with novel capabilities, is designed, where not only torque constraints are considered but also kinematic constraints are easily handled and the new filter always attempts to recover any delay caused by the constraints.

Comparing Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations

TL;DR: According to criteria involving the number of function evaluations, overhead cost, and reliability, the best general-purpose method, if function evaluations are not very costly, is one due to Bulirsch and Stoer, however, when function evaluated methods are relatively expensive, variable-order methods based on Adams formulas are best.

Coefficients for the study of Runge-Kutta integration processes

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of η first order simultaneous differential equations in the dependent variables y 1, y 2, y 3, y 4, y 5, y 6 and the independent variable x is considered.

Classical Fifth-, Sixth-, Seventh-, and Eighth-Order Runge-Kutta Formulas with Stepsize Control

TL;DR: Runge-Kutta formulas of high order with stepsize control through leading truncation error term through leading parallelogram error term.
