By checking axioms (a)–(h) on p. 10 it is readily shown that all cubics

ax3 + bx2 + cx + d form a vector space. Note that the space is four dimensional.
3(a)

All cubics can be written in the form
ax3 + bx2 + cx + d

and {1, x, x2 , x3 } are a linearly independent set spanning four-dimensional space.
Thus, it is an appropriate basis.

3(b)

No, does not span the required four-dimensional space. Thus a general

cubic cannot be written as a linear combination of
(1 − x), (1 + x), (1 − x3 ), (1 + x3 )
as no term in x2 is present.

3(c) Yes as linearly independent set spanning the four-dimensional space
a(1 − x) + b(1 + x) + c(x2 − x3 ) + d(x2 + x3 )
= (a + b) + (b − a)x + (c + a)x2 + (d − c)x3
≡ α + βx + γx2 + δx3

3(d) Yes as a linear independent set spanning the four-dimensional space
a(x − x2 ) + b(x + x2 ) + c(1 − x3 ) + d(1 + x3 )
= (a + b) + (b − a)x + (c + d)x2 + (d − c)x3
≡ α + βx + γx2 + δx3

3(e)

No not linearly independent set as
(4x3 + 1) = (3x2 + 4x3 ) − (3x2 + 2x) + (1 + 2x)

4
x + 2x3 , 2x − 3x5 , x + x3 form a linearly independent set and form a basis
for all polynomials of the form α + βx3 + γx5 . Thus, S is the space of all odd
quadratic polynomials. It has dimension 3.

−3ei1 + (1 − λi )ei2 − ei3 = 0

Taking i = 1, 2, 3 gives the eigenvectors as
e1 = [2 1 1]T , e2 = [−1 1 1]T , e3 = [0 1 − 1]T
It is readily shown that
eT1 e2 = eT1 e3 = eT2 e3 = 0

Let the eigenvector be e = [a b c]T then since the three vectors are mutually

orthogonal

a + b − 2c = 0
a+b−c=0

giving c = 0 and a = −b so an eigenvector corresponding to λ = 2 is e = [1 −1 0]T .

Since the sets of equations (i) are consistent weighting the last equation has no
effect on the least squares solution which is unique. However, since the sets of
equations (ii) are inconsistent the solution given is not unique but is the best in
the least squares sense. Clearly as the weighting of the third equation increases
from (a) to (b) to (c) the better is the matching to the third equation, and the last
case (c) does not bother too much with the first two equations.

The equations of motion, using Newton’s second law, may be written down

for the body mass and axle/wheel mass from which a state-space model can be
deduced. Alternatively a block diagram for the system, which is more informative
for modelling purposes, may be drawn up as follows

Applying Kirchhoff’s second law to the first loop gives
x1 + R3 (i − i1 ) + R1 i = u
that is, (R1 + R3 )i − R3 i1 + x1 = u

Applying it to the outer loop gives
x2 + (R4 + R2 )i1 + R1 i = u
Taking α = R1 R3 + (R1 + R3 )(R4 + R2 ) then gives
αi = (R2 + R3 + R4 )u − (R2 + R4 )x1 − R3 x2

For asymptotic stability the principal minors of P must be positive. Thus,
b2 + a2 + a
>0
2ab

(ii)

and (b2 + a2 + a)(a + 1) > b2

(iii)

Case 1 ab > 0
(ii) ⇒ a2 + b2 + a > 0 so (iii) ⇒ a + 1 >

b2
b2 + a2 + a

⇒ a[a2 + (a + 1)2 ] > 0 ⇒ a > 0.
Since ab > 0 ⇒ b > 0 it follows that (ii) and (iii) are satisfied if a, b > 0
Case 2 ab < 0 No solution to (ii) and (iii) in this case.
Thus, system is asymptotically stable when both a > 0 and b > 0.
Note: This example illustrates the difficulty in interpretating results when using
the Lyapunov approach. It is a simple task to confirm this result using the Routh–
Hurwitz criterion developed in Section 5.6.2.

ẋ1 = x2

(i)

ẋ2 = −2x2 + x3

(ii)

(iii)

If V̇(x) is identically zero then x3 is identically zero ⇒ x1 is identically zero from
(iii)
⇒ x2 is identically zero from (i)
Hence V̇(x) is identically zero only at the origin.

ẋ = A x + bu , y = cT x

Let λi , ei , i = 1, 2, . . . , n, be the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of A.
Let M = [e1 , e2 , . . . , en ] then since λi ’s are distinct the ei ’s are linearly
independent and M−1 exists. Substituting x = M ξ gives
M ξ̇ξ = A M ξ + bu
Premultiplying by M−1 gives
ξ̇ξ = M−1 A M ξ + M−1 bu = Λ ξ + b1 u
where Λ = M−1 A M = (λi δij ), i, j = 1, 2, . . . , n, and b1 = M−1 b
Also, y = cT x ⇒ y = cT Mξξ = cT1 ξ , cT1 = cT M. Thus, we have the desired
canonical form.
If the vector b1 contains a zero element then the corresponding mode is
uncontrollable and consequently (A1 b1 c) is uncontrollable. If the matrix cT
has a zero element then the system is unobservable.
The eigenvalues of A are λ1 = 2, λ2 = 1, λ3 = −1 having corresponding
eigenvectors e1 = [1 3 1]T , e2 = [3 2 1]T and e3 = [1 0 1]T .

Using this program the results Xa (2) = 2.811489 and Xb (2) = 2.819944 were
obtained. Using the method described in Section 2.3.6, the error in Xb (2) will
be approximately equal to Xb (2) − Xa (2) = −0.008455 and so the best estimate
of X(2) is 2.819944 + 0.008455 = 2.828399. The desired error bound is 0.1% of
this value, 0.0028 approximately. Since Euler’s method is a first-order method, the
error in the estimate of X(2) varies like h ; so, to achieve an error of 0.0028, a step
size of no more than (0.0028/0.008455) × 0.05 = 0.0166 is required. We will choose
a sensible step size which is less than this, say h = 0.0125. This yields an estimate
X(2) = 2.826304.

The programs shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 may readily be modified to solve

this problem. Estimates Xa (2) = 1.573065 and Xb (2) = 1.558541 should be
obtained. Using the method described in Section 2.3.6, the error in Xb (2) will
be approximately equal to Xb (2) − Xa (2) = −0.014524 and so the best estimate
of X(2) is 1.558541 − 0.014524 = 1.544017. The desired error bound is 0.2% of
this value, 0.0031 approximately. Since Euler’s method is a first-order method, the
error in the estimate of X(2) varies like h so, to achieve an error of 0.0031, a step
size of no more than (0.0031/0.014524) × 0.05 = 0.0107 is required. We will choose

The estimate, X(2), derived using the step size h = 0.01 is comfortably within the

The programs shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 may readily be modified to solve

this problem. Estimates Xa (1.5) = 2.241257 and Xb (1.5) = 2.206232 should be
obtained. Using the method described in Section 2.3.6, the error in Xb (1.5) will be
approximately equal to Xb (1.5) − Xa (1.5) = −0.035025 and so the best estimate
of X(1.5) is 2.206232 − 0.035025 = 2.171207. The desired error bound is 0.25%
of this value, 0.0054 approximately. Since Euler’s method is a first-order method,
the error in the estimate of X(1.5) varies like h; so, to achieve an error of 0.0054,
a step size of no more than (0.0054/0.035025) × 0.025 = 0.0039 is required. If we
choose h = 0.04, this yields an estimate X(1.5) = 2.183610.
The exact solution of the differential equation may be obtained by separation:

x(1) = 1.2 ⇒ 1.2 ln 1.2 − 1.2 = 1 + C ⇒

Hence, by any non-linear equation solving method (e.g. Newton–Raphson), we
may obtain x(1.5) = 2.179817 and the true errors in Xa (1.5), Xb (1.5) and the
final estimate of X(1.5) are 0.061440, 0.026415 and 0.003793 respectively. The
estimate, X(1.5), derived using the step size h = 0.04 is comfortably within the
0.25% error requirement.

The starting process, using the second-order predictor–corrector method, is
X̂1 = x0 + hf(t0 , x0 )


X1 = x0 + 12 h f(t0 , x0 ) + f(t1 , X̂1 )

and the second-order Adams–Bashforth method is
Xn+1 = Xn + 12 h (3f(tn , Xn ) − f(tn−1 , Xn−1 ))

8(a)

Applying this method to the problem

h = 0.1, we have

dx
= x2 sin t − x, x(0) = 0.2 with
dt

X̂1 = x0 + hf(t0 , x0 ) = 0.2 + 0.1 × (0.22 sin 0 − 0.2) = 0.1800


X1 = x0 + 12 h f(t0 , x0 ) + f(t1 , X̂1 )
= 0.2 + 12 0.1 × (0.22 sin 0 − 0.2 + 0.182 sin 0.1 − 0.18) = 0.1812
X2 = X1 + 12 h (3f(t1 , X1 ) − f(t0 , x0 ))


= 0.1812 + 12 0.1 × 3(0.18122 sin 0.1 − 0.1812) − (0.22 sin 0 − 0.2) = 0.1645
X3 , X4 and X5 are obtained as X2 . The computation is most efficiently set out

This gives rise to the approximate scheme Xn+1 = −4Xn +5Xn−1 +2h(2Fn +Fn−1 )
which may equally be written as Xn+1 = 5[Xn−1 +2hFn ]−4[Xn + 12 h(3Fn −Fn−1 )];
in other words, this scheme gives an approximation for Xn+1 which is 5 times the
central difference approximation minus 4 times the second-order Adams–Bashforth
approximation. Because of the inclusion of the central difference approximation,
this scheme will be unstable whenever the central difference scheme is.

Figure 2.4: Pascal program for Exercise 16(a)

Using this program with h = 0.2 gives X(2) = 2.242408 and, with h = 0.1, X(2) =
2.613104. The method of Richardson extrapolation given in Section 2.3.6 gives the
estimated error in the second of these as (2.613104 − 2.242408)/3 = 0.123565.
For 3 decimal place accuracy in the final estimate we need error ≤ 0.0005; in
other words, the error must be reduced by a factor of 0.123565/0.0005 = 247.13.
Since Adams–Bashforth is a second-order method, the required step length will
√
be 0.1/ 247.13 = 0.0064. Rounding this down to a suitable size suggests that
a step size of h = 0.005 will give a solution accurate to 3 decimal places. In
fact the program of Figure 2.4 yields, with h = 0.005, X(2) = 2.897195. With

h = 0.0025 it gives X(2) = 2.898175. Richardson extrapolation predicts the error
in the h = 0.0025 solution as 0.000327 and therefore that in the h = 0.005 as
0.001308. The required accuracy was therefore not achieved using h = 0.005 but
was achieved with h = 0.0025.

Using this program with h = 0.2 gives X(2) = 2.788158 and, with h = 0.1, X(2) =
2.863456. The method of Richardson extrapolation given in Section 2.3.6 gives the
estimated error in the second of these as (2.863456 − 2.788158)/3 = 0.025099. For
3 decimal place accuracy in the final estimate we need error ≤ 0.0005; in other
words, the error must be reduced by a factor of 0.025099/0.0005 = 50.20. Since
the second-order predictor–corrector method is being used, the required step size

will be 0.1/ 50.20 = 0.014. Rounding this down to a suitable size suggests that
a step size of h = 0.0125 will give a solution accurate to 3 decimal places. In

h = 0.00625 it gives X(2) = 2.898349. Richardson extrapolation predicts the error
in the h = 0.00625 solution as 0.000158 and therefore that in the h = 0.0125 as
0.000632. The required accuracy was therefore not quite achieved using h = 0.0125

in Section 2.3.6 gives the estimated error in the second of these as (2.897402 −

need error ≤ 0.000005; in other words, the error must be reduced by a factor

required step size will be 0.2/(178)1/4 = 0.0547. Rounding this down to a suitable
size suggests that a step size of h = 0.05 will give a solution accurate to 5 decimal

The pseudocode algorithm shown in Figure 2.7 and the Pascal program in

Figure 2.8 may easily be modified to solve this problem. With a step size of h = 0.5
the estimate X(3) = 1.466489 is obtained, whilst with a step size of h = 0.25, the
estimate is X(3) = 1.466476. Richardson extrapolation suggests that the step

0.000005 range, which 5 decimal place accuracy requires. Hence, X(3) = 1.46648

Now, applying Euler’s method to the two equations we have

X1 = x0 + h1 f(t0 , x0 , v0 )
that is, X1 = 0 + 0.1 × 1 = 0.10000
X2 = X1 + hf1 (t1 , X1 , V1 )
that is, X2 = 0.10000 + 0.1 × 1.00000

V1 = v0 + hf2 (t0 , x0 , v0 )
V1 = 1.00000 = 1 + 0.1 × (sin 0 − 0 − 02 × 1)
V2 = V1 + hf2 (t1 , X1 , V1 )
V2 = 1 + 0.1 × (sin 0.10000
− 0.10000 − 0.100002 × 1.00000)

= 0.20000

= 0.99898
X3 = X2 + hf1 (t2 , X2 , V2 )
that is, X2 = 0.20000 + 0.1 × 0.99898
= 0.29990

The second-order Adams–Bashforth method applied to a pair of coupled
equations is
Xn+1 = Xn + 12 h (3f1 (tn , Xn , Yn ) − f1 (tn−1 , Xn−1 , Yn−1 ))
Yn+1 = Yn + 12 h (3f2 (tn , Xn , Yn ) − f2 (tn−1 , Xn−1 , Yn−1 ))
First, we recast the differential equation as a pair of coupled first-order equations.
dx

x(0) = 0
dt
dv
v(0) = 1

dt
Now, since the Adams–Bashforth method is a two-step process, we need to start the
computation with another method. We use the second-order predictor–corrector.
This has the form
X̂n+1 = Xn + hf1 (tn , Xn , Yn )Ŷn+1 = Yn + hf2 (tn , Xn , Yn )

1 
Xn+1 = Xn + h f1 (tn+1 , X̂n+1 , Ŷn+1 ) + f1 (tn , Xn , Yn )

1 
Yn+1 = Yn + h f2 (tn+1 , X̂n+1 , Ŷn+1 ) + f2 (tn , Xn , Yn )

Hence we have

X1 = 0 + 0.05 × (1 + 1) = 0.10000V1 = 1 + 0.05 × (−0.01017 + 0) = 0.99949

Now, continuing using the Adams–Bashforth method we have
X2 = X1 + 12 h (3f1 (t1 , X1 , Y1 ) − f1 (t0 , x0 , v0 ))
V2 = V1 + 12 h (3f2 (t1 , X1 , V1 ) − f2 (t0 , x0 , v0 ))
that is,

X2 = 0.10000 + 0.05 × (3 × 0.99949 − 1) = 0.19992
V2 = 0.99949 + 0.05 × (3 × −0.01016 − 0) = 0.99797
X3 = X2 + 12 h (3f1 (t2 , X2 , V2 ) − f1 (t1 , X1 , V1 ))

that is,

21

X3 = 0.19992 + 0.05 × (3 × 0.99797 − 0.99949) = 0.29964

First, we formulate the problem as a set of 3 coupled first-order differential

equations

du

u(0.5) = 1

We can then solve these by the predictor–corrector method. Notice that we need to
compute the predicted values for all three variables before computing the corrected
values for any of them.

X̂1 = x0 + hf1 (t0 , x0 , u0 , v0 ) = −1 + 0.05(1) = −0.95000
Û1 = u0 + hf2 (t0 , x0 , u0 , v0 ) = 1 + 0.05(2) = 1.10000
V̂1 = v0 + hf3 (t0 , x0 , u0 , v0 ) = 2 + 0.05((−1)2 − 2(−1 − 0.5) − 1) = 2.15000








X1 = x0 + h f1 t1 , X̂1 , Û1 , V̂1 + f1 (t0 , x0 , u0 , v0 )

U1 = u0 + 12 h f2 t1 , X̂1 , Û1 , V̂1 + f2 (t0 , x0 , u0 , v0 )
= 1 + 0.025 × (2.15000 + 2.00000) = 1.10375

X̂2 = −0.94750 + 0.05 × 1.10375 = −0.89231
Û2 = 1.10375 + 0.05 × 2.14794 = 1.21115
V̂2 = 2.14794 + 0.05 × 2.89603 = 2.29274
X2 = −0.94750 + 0.025 × (1.21115 + 1.10375) = −0.88963
U2 = 1.10375 + 0.025 × (2.29274 + 2.14794) = 1.21477

X̂3 = −0.88963 + 0.05 × 1.21477 = −0.82889
Û3 = 1.21477 + 0.05 × 2.28911 = 1.32923
V̂3 = 2.28911 + 0.05 × 2.72570 = 2.42539
X3 = −0.88963 + 0.025 × (1.32923 + 1.21477) = −0.82603

A pseudocode algorithm to compute the value of X(1.6) is shown in Figure 2.9.
Using a program derived from this algorithm with a step size h = 0.4 gives
X(1.6) = 1.220254 and, with a step size h = 0.2, gives X(1.6) = 1.220055. The
method of Richardson extrapolation, given in Section 2.3.6, is equally applicable
to problems such as this one involving coupled equations. Since the Runge–
Kutta method has a local error of O(h)5 the global error will be O(h4 ) . The
method therefore gives the estimated error in the second value of X(1.6) as
(1.220254 − 1.220055)/15 = 0.000013. For 6 decimal place accuracy in the final
estimate we need error ≤ 0.0000005; in other words, the error must be reduced
by a factor of 0.000013/0.0000005 = 26. Since Runge–Kutta is a fourth-order
√
method the required step length will be 0.2/4 26 = 0.088. Rounding this down to
a suitable size suggests that a step size of h = 0.08 will give a solution accurate to
6 decimal places. In fact the program yields, with h = 0.08, X(1.6) = 1.2200394.
With h = 0.04 it gives X(1.6) = 1.2200390. Richardson extrapolation predicts the

error in the h = 0.04 solution as 0.00000003 and therefore that in the h = 0.08 as
0.0000005. The required accuracy was therefore just achieved using h = 0.08.

Using a program derived from this algorithm with a step size h = 0.1 gives
X(2.2) = 2.923350 and, with a step size h = 0.05, gives X(2.2) = 2.925418. The
method of Richardson extrapolation given in Section 2.3.6, is equally applicable
to problems such as this one involving coupled equations. Since the third-order
predictor–corrector method used has a local error of O(h4 ) , the global error will
be O(h3 ) . The method therefore gives the estimated error in the second value of
X(2.2) as 2.923350−2.925418)/7 = −0.000295. For 6 decimal place accuracy in the
final estimate we need error ≤ 0.0000005; in other words, the error must be reduced
by a factor of 0.000295/0.0000005 = 590. Since we are using a third-order method,
√
the required step length will be 0.05/3 590 = 0.00596. Rounding this down to a
suitable size suggests that a step size of h = 0.005 will give a solution accurate to
6 decimal places. In fact the program yields, with h = 0.005, X(2.2) = 2.92575057.
With h = 0.0025 it gives X(2.2) = 2.92575089. Richardson extrapolation predicts
the error in the h = 0.0025 solution as 0.000000046 and therefore that in the

extrapolation method, because Euler’s method is a first-order method and the
global error is therefore of O(h), the error in the estimate of X(0.4) is approximately
1.142763 − 1.125584 = 0.017179. To obtain X(0.4) accurate to 2 decimal places
we need error ≤ 0.005. To achieve this we would need to reduced step size by a
factor of 0.017179/0.005 = 3.44. This suggests a step size of 0.05/3.44 = 0.0145.
Rounding this down to a sensible figure suggests trying a step size of 0.0125 or 0.01.

and, with a step size of h = 0.025, X(0.25) = 2.004452. Using the Richardson extrapolation method, because Euler’s method is a first-order method and the global
error is therefore of O(h) , the error in the estimate of X(0.25) is approximately
2.004452−2.003749 = 0.000703. To obtain X(0.25) accurate to 3 decimal places we
need error ≤ 0.0005. To achieve this we would need to reduce step size by a factor
of 0.0007/0.0005 = 1.4. This suggests a step size of 0.025/1.4 = 0.0179. Rounding

This question is best solved using a computer program based on a simple
modification of the pseudocode given Figure 2.7. Let X1 denote the solution using
a step size of h = 0.2, X2 that using h = 0.1 and X3 that using h = 0.05.
By either method it is found that X1 (2) = 5.19436687, X2 (2) = 5.19432575 and
X3 (2) = 5.19432313. The local error of the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is
O(h5 ) so the global error is O(h4 ) . Hence, by Richardson extrapolation, we may

estimated error in the second value of X(2) as (0.847035−0.844067)/1 = 0.002968.
This is less than 5 in the third decimal place, so we have two significant figures of
accuracy. The best estimate we can make is that x(2) = 0.84 to 2dp.

Figure 2.13 shows a pseudocode algorithm for the solution of these equations by
the second-order predictor–corrector method. Using a program derived from this
algorithm with a stepsize h = 0.02 gives X(4) = 0.147123 and, with a step size
h = 0.01, gives X(4) = 0.146075. The method of Richardson extrapolation,
given in Section 2.3.6, is applicable to problems such as this one involving coupled
equations. Since the second-order predictor–corrector method has a local error of
O(h3 ) , the global error will be O(h2 ) . The method therefore gives the estimated
error in the second value of X(4) as (0.147123 − 146075)/3 = 0.001048. For 4
decimal place accuracy in the final estimate we need error ≤ 0.00005; in other
words, the error must be reduced by a factor of 0.001048/0.00005 = 20.96. Since
this predictor–corrector is a second-order method the required step length will be
√
0.01/ 20.96 = 0.0022. Rounding this down to a suitable size suggests that a
step size of h = 0.002 will give a solution accurate to 4 decimal places. In fact
the program yields, with h = 0.002, X(4) = 0.145813. With h = 0.001 it gives
X(4) = 0.145807. Richardson extrapolation predicts the error in the h = 0.001
solution as 0.000002 and therefore that in the h = 0.002 as 0.000008. The required
accuracy was therefore comfortably achieved using h = 0.002. We can be confident
that x(4) = 0.1458 to 4dp.

A minor modification of the pseudocode algorithm shown in Figure 2.9 provides
an algorithm for the solution of this problem. Using a program derived from
this algorithm with a step size h = 0.1 gives X(2.5) = −0.651076 and,

with a step size h = 0.05, gives X(2.5) = −0.653798.
of Richardson extrapolation, given in Section 2.3.6.

125

We use the method

Since the Runge–Kutta

5

method has a local error of O(h ) the global error will be O(h4 ) . The method
therefore gives the estimated error in the second value of X(2.5) as (0.651076 −
0.653798)/15 = −0.000181. For 4 decimal place accuracy in the final estimate we
need error ≤ 0.00005; in other words, the error must be reduced by a factor of
0.000181/0.00005 = 3.63. Since the Runge–Kutta is a fourth-order method the
√
required step length will be 0.054 3.63 = 0.036. Rounding this down to a suitable
size suggests that a stepsize of h = 0.025 will give a solution accurate to 4 decimal
places. In fact the program yields, with h = 0.025, X(2.5) = −0.653232. With
h = 0.0125 it gives X(2.5) = −0.653217. Richardson extrapolation predicts the
error in the h = 0.0125 solution as 0.0000009 and therefore that in the h = 0.025
as 0.000015. The required accuracy is therefore easily achieved using h = 0.025.
We can be confident that x(2.5) = −0.6532 to 4dp.

Splitting the mapping w = (1 − j)z into real and imaginary parts gives

u + jv = (1 − j)(x + jy)
= x + y + j(y − x)
that is,

u=x+y
v=y−x

so that,

u + v = 2y

Therefore y > 1 corresponds to u + v > 2.

Since w = jz + j
x = v − 1, y = −u

so that x > 0 corresponds to v > 1.

Since w = jz + 1

u = −y + 1

so that x > 0 ⇒ v > 0
and 0 < y < 2 ⇒ −1 < u < 1 or | u |< 1.

then,

If z is real (i.e. z is on the real axis) then

| z − z0 |=| z − z∗0 |= (x − x0 )2 + y20

and z0 = x0 + jy0

Hence | w |= 1. Thus the real axis in the z plane corresponds to the unit circle
| w |= 1 in the w plane. Making z the subject of the transformation gives
z=

wz∗0 − ejθ0 z0
w − ejθ0

Hence the origin in the w plane maps to z = z0 .
Thus the inside of the unit circle in the w plane corresponds to the upper half of
the z plane provided

Since w = 0 maps to z = z0 and z0 = j and z = ∞ maps to w = ejθ0 = −1 it

Under the mapping w = z2 , u = x2 − y2 , v = 2xy

It is not possible to achieve formulae of the type x = φ(u, v), y = ψ(u, v) , however
we can use u = x2 − y2 , v = 2xy to determine images. Points (0 + j0), (2 + j0)
and (0 + j2) transform to (0 + j0), (4 + j0) and (−4 + j0) respectively.
The positive real axis y = 0, x ≥ 0 transforms to the (positive) real axis
v = 0, u = x2 .
The positive imaginary axis x = 0, y ≥ 0 transforms to the (negative) real axis
v = 0, u = −y2 .
The line joining the point 2 + j0 to the point 0 + j2 has equation x + y = 2.
By using the equations u = x2 − y2 and v = 2xy we obtain
u = 4(1 − y), v = 2y(2 − y)
from which, eliminating y we get

Hence we deduce the following picture:

Under the transformation w = z2 , u = x2 − y2 and v = 2xy .

Hence the line y = x transforms to u = 0, v > 0

The line y = mx transforms to v =

Putting m = tan θ0 ,

Hence y = x tan θ0 transforms to v = u tan 2θ.
Thus lines through the origin of slope θ0 in the z plane transform to lines through
the origin of slope 2θ0 in the w plane. Hence the angle between the lines through
the origin in the z plane is doubled by the transformation w = z2 .

the singularities are at the points where z4 = 1 that is,

z = 0 is equidistant (1) from each radius of convergence = 1.
z = 1 + j is distance (1) from z = 1 and z = j with radius of convergence = 1.

If f(z) =

where p(z) and q(z) are polynomials, then the only singularities

of f(z) are the algebraic zeros of q(z) . These zeros are either distinct or multiple.
The distinct zeros give rise to simple poles of f(z) whereas the multiple zeros give
rise to poles of higher order. f(z) can only have these kinds of singularity, although
it may have none if q divides p, so that f(z) is polynomial. f(z) therefore cannot
have an essential singularity.

If w = f(z) then the real and imaginary parts of f(z) are harmonic

So ζ = g(w) = g(f(z)) implies that harmonic functions (the real and imaginary

v = (x cos x − sin x) sinh y + y sin x cosh y + sin x sinh y + f2 (x)

constant).
Thus

w = u + jv =x sin x cosh y − y cos x sinh y

Since this is f(z) , we put y = 0 to find f(x) which will give the functional form
of f, namely
f(x) = x sin x. Thus f(z) = z sin z.

The disadvantage of doing this is that there are two poles inside the semicircular

easier manipulation of the integral. We shall thus use the semicircle.
The poles inside C, both simple, are at

The transfer function poles are the roots of the characteristic equation

The transfer function zeros are determined by equating the numerator polynomial

Poles at (s + 2)(s2 + 4) = 0; that is, s = −2, s = +2j, s = −j.

Since we have poles on the imaginary axis in the s-plane, system is marginally
stable.
Poles at (s + 1)(s − 1)(s + 4) = 0; that is, s = −1, s = 1, s = −4.

Since we have the pole s = 1 in the right hand half of the s-plane, the system is
unstable.

Both the poles are in the left hand half of the plane so the system is stable.

Taking Laplace transforms
[sI − A]X(s) = x(0) + bU(s) ; Y(s) = cT X(s)

With x(0) = 0 and U(s) = 1 the transform Xδ (s) of the impulse response is
Xδ (s) = [sI − A]−1 b , Yδ (s) = cT [sI − A]−1 b

The controllability question can be answered by either reducing to canonical

form as in section 6.7.8 of the text or by using the Kalman matrix criterion given
in Exercise 61 of the text. Adopting the Kalman matrix approach

Since det C = 0, rank C = 3 so the system is controllable.

−(2 + λ) 

= (1 − λ)(1 − λ)(2 + λ) = 0
so that the eigenvalues are λ1 = −2, λ2 = −1, λ3 = 1. The system is therefore
unstable with λ3 = 1 corresponding to the unstable mode. The corresponding
eigenvectors of A are given by
(A − λi I)ei = 0
and are readily determined as
e1 = [0 0 1]T
e2 = [1 − 1 0]T
e3 = [1 0 − 1]T
To determine the control law to relocate λ3 = 1 at −5 we need to determine the
eigenvector v3 of AT corresponding to λ3 = 1. This is readily obtained as
v3 = [1 1 0]T

33

As for Exercise 32 this is intended to be an extended problem supported by

simulation studies. The following is simply an outline of a possible solution.
Figure 5.67(a) is simply a mass-spring damper system represented by the
differential equation

365

The steady state response will be due to the forcing term and determined by the
αs + β
term in the partial fractions expansion of X(s) . Thus, the steady state
s2 + w2
response will be of the form A sin(wt + δ) ; that is, a sinusoid having the same
frequency as the forcing term but with a phase shift δ and amplitude scaling A.
In the situation of Figure 5.67(b) the equations of motion are

dx
+ K2 (y − x) + sin wt
= −K1 x − B
2
dt

d2 y
M2 2 = −K2 (y − x)

Assuming an initial quiescent state taking Laplace transforms gives
[M1 s2 + Bs + (K1 + K2 )]X(s) − K2 Y(s) = w/(s2 + w2 )
−K2 X(s) + (s2 M2 + K2 )Y(s) = 0
Eliminating Y(s) gives
X(s) =

w(s2 M2 + K2 )
(s2 + w2 )p(s)

where p(s) = (M1 s2 + Bs + K1 + K2 )(s2 M2 + K2 ) .
Because of the term (s2 + w2 ) in the denominator x(t) will contain terms in
sin wt and cos wt . However, if (s2 M2 + K2 ) exactly cancels (s2 + w2 ) this will
be avoided. Thus choose K2 = M2 w2 . This does make practical sense for if the
natural frequency of the secondary system is equal to the frequency of the applied
force then it may resonate and therefore damp out the steady state vibration of
M1 .
It is also required to show that the polynomial p(s) does not give rise to any
undamped oscillations. That is, it is necessary to show that p(s) does not possess
purely imaginary roots of the form jθ, θ real, and that it has no roots with a positive
real part. This can be checked using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion.
To examine the motion of the secondary mass M2 solve for Y(s) giving
Y(s) =

(s2

K2 w
+ w2 )p(s)

Clearly due to the term (s2 + w2 ) in the denominator the mass M2 possesses an
undamped oscillation. Thus, in some sense the secondary system has absorbed the
energy produced by the applied sinusoidal force sin wt .

Again this is intended to be an extended problem requiring wider exploration

by the students. The following is an outline of the solution.

34(a)

Students should be encouraged to plot the Bode plots using the steps

used in Example 5.65 of the text and using a software package. Sketches of the
magnitude and phase Bode plots are given in the figures below.

34(b)

With unity feedback the amplifier is unstable. Since the −180◦ crossover

gain is greater than 0dB (from the plot it is +92dB) .

34(c)

Due to the assumption that the amplifier is ideal it follows that for
1
must be 92dB (that is, the plot is effectively
marginal stability the value of
β
lowered by 92dB) . Thus

From the amplitude plot the effective 0dB axis is now drawn through

the 100dB point. Comparing this to the line drawn through the 92dB point,
corresponding to marginal stability, it follows that
Gain margin = −8dB
and Phase margin = 24◦ .

34(e)
G(s) =

Clearly
(z2 + 0.5z + 0.25)(1 − 0.6z)P(z) = (1 − 0.6z)U(z)

Δ2 (z + 1)2
=
(4 + 6Δ + 2Δ2 )z2 + (4Δ2 − 8)z + (4 − 6Δ + 2Δ2 )
This corresponds to the difference equation
(Aq2 + Bq + C)yk = Δ2 (q2 + 2q + 1)uk
where
A = 4 + 6Δ + 2Δ2

B = 4Δ2 − 8

C = 4 − 6Δ + 2Δ2

Now put q = 1 + Δδ to get
(AΔ2 δ2 + (2A + B)Δδ + A + B + C)yk
= Δ2 (Δ2 δ2 + 4Δδ + 4)uk
With t = 0.01 in the q form the system poles are at z = 0.9048 and z = 0.8182,
inside | z |= 1. When t = 0.01 these move to z = 0.9900 and z = 0.9802,
closer to the stability boundary. Using the δ form with t = 0.1, the poles are at
ν = −1.8182 and ν = −0.9522, inside the circle centre (−10, 0) in the ν-plane with
radius 10. When t = 0.01 these move to ν = −1.9802 and ν = −0.9950, within
the circle centre (−100, 0) with radius 100, and the closest pole to the boundary
has moved slightly further from it.

h±5 = 0.06366, h±4 = 0, h±3 = −0.10610
h±2 = 0, h±1 = 0.31831, h0 = 0.5

Thus, the non-causal transfer function is

+ 0.31831z − 0.10610z3 + 0.06366z5

Now wH (±5) = 0.08000, wH (±3) = 0.39785, wH (±1) = 0.91215, wH (0) = 1 and
the causal transfer function is found by multiplying the filter coefficients by the

From the separated solutions (9.25) choose

Clearly, both initial conditions (a) and (b) are satisfied for λ = 1.
The d’Alembert solution is obtained from equation (9.19) as

u = [sin(x + ct) + sin(x − ct)]
2
which gives the same result when the sines are expanded.
16 First note that
sin x(1 + cos x) = sin x + 12 sin 2x
The two initial conditions imply that the solution is of the form
u = A sin x sin ct + B sin 2x sin 2ct
and matching the conditions gives A = 1/c and B = 1/4c.

The initial conditions give

The problem is now more difficult since there is an infinite region. The

simplest way to cope with this difficulty for small times is to impose boundaries
some distance from the region of interest. Hopefully, the effect of any sensible
boundary condition would only affect the solution marginally. For longer times, an
alternative strategy must be sought. In the current problem, the region x = −1
to 2 is chosen with the solution quoted in the region x = 0 to 1.

If v = ru , then differentiating produces

Cancelling out the r, it is seen that v satisfies the standard heat conduction

u(a, t) = T0 −→ v(a, t) = aT0 for t > 0

Putting these expressions into the heat conduction equation and equating the sine

−βf = 2f and f − f = 0
Both equations can be satisfied only if β = 2 and f = Ae−x ; the solution is then

Physically, the slab of material is given an initial temperature of Ae−x sin x , the
temperature is zero at infinity and at the end x = 0 the temperature is periodic
taking the form u(0, t) = −A sin 2t and hence A = −u0 .

From equation (9.52), the only separated solution to satisfy u → 0 as y → ∞

is
u = (A sin μx + B cos μx)(Ceμy + De−μy ) with C = 0
Thus
u = (a sin μx + b cos μx)e−μy
To satisfy the boundary conditions,
u = 0 at x = 0 ⇒ b = 0
u = 0 at x = 1 ⇒ sin μ = 0 ⇒ μ = nπ where n is an integer.
The condition at y = 0 can be satisfied by a sum of terms over n.

The four boundary conditions are satisfied by inspection and the Laplace

equation is satisfied by straightforward differentiation.

46 It can easily be checked that the function x2 y satisfies the given Poisson
equation. The boundary conditions on u(x, y) become
u(x, 0) = 0 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
u(x, 1) = sin πx for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
u(0, y) = 0 for 0 ≤ y ≤ 1
u(1, y) = 0 for 0 ≤ y ≤ 1

This is an important example that illustrates that sensible solutions can only

be obtained if correct boundary conditions are set. First, it is a matter of simple
differentiation to verify that the given function satisfies the Laplace equation.
Again, since the sinh function is zero at x = 0 the first condition is satisfied.
Differentiating with respect to x,
1
∂u
1
∂u
= cosh nx sin ny, so at x = 0,
= sin ny
∂x
n
∂x
n
The solution therefore satisfies all the conditions of the problem. It is known that
the solution is unique.
For any given n, however large, sinh nx can be made as large as required and even
when divided by n2 it is still large; for instance, n = 10, x = 5 and y = π/200
gives u = 4.1 × 1018 .
The ‘neighbouring’ problem has a boundary condition ux = 0 and solution u
identically zero. For the values chosen for illustration, the maximum change at
the boundary is 0.1; yet the solution changes by 1018 . Such behaviour is very
unstable; these boundary conditions give a unique solution; yet small changes in
the boundary produce huge changes in the solution. Figure 9.59 should be referred
for a summary of the ‘correctness’ of boundary conditions.

50

It is useful in solution by separation to try to modify the problem so that the

function is zero on two opposite boundaries. Apply u = x + f(x, y) ; then f satisfies
the Laplace equation and the four boundary conditions become
f(0, y) = 0

f(1, y) = 0

for 0 < y < 1

f(x, 0) = −x f(x, 1) = 1 − x for 0 < x < 1
The solution given in equation (9.52d) is the appropriate one and the cosine can
be omitted since it cannot satisfy the first of the four conditions. Thus,

f = sin μx(a cosh μy + sinh μy)
The second condition now gives sin μ = 0 ⇒ μ = Nπ where N is an integer. The
solution therefore takes the form

and the coefficients are derived as Fourier series from the other two sides of the

Calculating ‘AC − B2 ’ = −4p2 +4q2 , it can be deduced that the equations are
(a) p > q or p < −q then the equations are hyperbolic
(b) p = q then the equations are parabolic

(c) −q < p < q then the equations are elliptic
Using the substitution −p2 +q2 = − 41 (x4 −2x2 y2 +y4 −x4 −2x2 y2 −y4 ) = x2 y2 > 0,
hence leads to the elliptic region when it is expected that the equation will look
like the Laplace equation.
vxx = vp + vq + x2 (vpp + 2vpq + vqq )

vx = xvp + xvq
vy = −yvp + yvq

and

vyy = −vp + vq + y2 (vpp − 2vpq + vqq )
vxy = xy(−vpp + vqq )

It may be noted that
vxx + vyy = 2vq + (x2 + y2 )vpp + 2(x2 − y2 )vpq + (x2 + y2 )vqq
from which the required transformation to the Laplace follows immediately.

74

In this case, ‘AC − B2 ’ = −(xy)2 so the equation is hyperbolic away from

the axes. The characteristics are computed from equation (9.83) as

and the solution is obtained by integration as

so one set of characteristics are straight lines through the origin and the other are
rectangular hyperbolas. The domain of dependence and the range of influence can
now be sketched.

It is interesting to look at the solution for various values of b since the solution gives
strengths of the harmonics for different musical instruments. It is these values that
give the characteristic sound of the instrument. For example, a violin has b = a/7;
it is seen that A7 = 0 and sevenths do not occur for this instrument.

This problem is the extension of the wave equation to beams.

Simply

substituting the given form into the beam equation gives the equation (9.93) for V
and the end conditions follow immediately. Again simply substituting sin, sinh, cos
and cosh into the equation shows they are solutions of (9.93). A linear combination
of the functions is also a solution and since it contains four arbitrary constants, it
is the general solution.
To satisfy the end conditions
V(0) = 0 ⇒ A + B = 0
V (0) = 0 ⇒ C + D = 0
V(l) = 0

⇒

A cosh αl + B cos αl + C sinh αl + D sin αl = 0

V (l) = 0

⇒

A sinh αl − B sin αl + C cosh αl + D cos αl = 0

Thus,
A(cosh αl − cos αl) = D(sinh αl − sin αl)
A(sinh αl + sin αl) = D(− cos αl + cosh αl)

Dividing these two equations, and using the trigonometric and hyperbolic identities,
produces the equation

10 Clearly, at z = 0 the velocity u = U cos ωt so the given solution has the correct
velocity on the wall. It also satisfies the equation of motion since substituting the
derivatives
ut = −Uωe−αz sin(ωt − αz)
uz = −αUe−αz cos(ωt − αz) − αUe−αz sin(ωt − αz)
uzz = α2 Ue−αz cos(ωt − αz) − 2α2 Ue−αz sin(ωt − αz)
−α2 Ue−αz cos(ωt − αz)
into the equation gives −Uω = −ν2α2 U which agrees precisely with the definition
of α.

The boundary conditions x = s, y = −s, z = 2s for s > 0 give the solution
z(x, y) = x − y

and not defined otherwise.

The separated solutions in equation (9.52) that tend to zero for large y must

be of the form
φ = (A sin μx + B cos μx)e−μy
The condition φ(0, y) = 0 ⇒ B = 0 and φ(π, y) = 0 ⇒ sin μπ = 0; thus, the
required solution is

When n is even, the coefficient is zero and the odd values give the result in the

First observe that the function χ = a2 − x2 satisfies ∇2 χ = −2 and second

that a separated solution of the Laplace equation derived in equation (9.52) is
cosh μy cos μx and the overall solution is a combination of terms of these types.


The conditions that χ = 0 on x = ±a ⇒ cos μa = 0 ⇒ μa = n + 12 π where n is

The possible separated solutions of the wave equation are given in equation

(9.25) and to satisfy conditions (a) and (b), the solution sin λx cos λct must be
chosen. The condition at x = 1 implies that sin λ = 0 ⇒ λ = nπ where n is an
integer. Thus, the solution takes the form

Complete drainage at top and bottom implies u = 0 at z = 0 and z = h .

Since there are no sources the pressure tends to zero as time becomes infinite.
Thus the solution that is relevant to this problem is u = e−cα t sin αz . It is readily

two-thirds of a jacket is not much good to anyone. However, the solution is an
approximate one and, to proceed correctly, it is necessary to undertake the problem
as an Integer Programming problem. This is much harder and can be found in any
advanced book on Mathematical Programming.
If the amount of cloth is increased then the line 3y + 4w = C is moved from its
present C = 400 parallel and upwards. The intersection point moves upwards and
the profit is increased. This situation continues until the solution is y = 0 and
w = 150 and all the labour is used on the Wetherbys. The amount of cloth required
would be 600 m and the profit in this case is £4500. This is the maximum possible
profit even if unlimited cloth is available because of the labour constraint.

of the zero in the very last entry. The optimal solution is to purchase 15 long range
aircraft and no medium or short range aircraft; the estimated profit is £6 m.

In the problem, it would seem that some operational constraints have been omitted.
In many optimisation problems it takes several steps to achieve a sensible cost and
set of constraints.

The first tableau is set up from the data. Choosing the pivot in the usual way,

x1 and x5 are interchanged and the elimination follows the basic rules. Again, the
pivot is found and x3 and x6 are interchanged; the elimination produces a top row
that is all positive so the solution is optimal. The solution is read from the tableau
as x1 = 1.5, x2 = 0, x3 = 2.5, x4 = 0 and f = 14.

The problem has ‘greater than’ constraints, so the two-phase method is
required. Note that a surplus variable x4 and an artificial variable x7 need to
be introduced. At the end of phase 1 the artificial variable x7 will be eliminated
from the tableau. The cost function in phase 1 is −x7 , but recall that this cost
has to be modified to ensure that the tableau is in standard form.

Thus, the manufacturer should make 50 pairs of boots and 150 pairs of shoes and
the maximum profit is £1150.
A graphical solution is possible since the problem has only two variables. It is of
interest to follow the progress of the simplex solution on the graph.

There are techniques for adding a constraint to an existing solution and thence

determining the solution. However, here the whole problem will be recomputed.
From Exercise 9 the initial tableau can be constructed, but the additional constraint
is a ‘greater than’ constraint so the procedure for entering phase 1 must be followed.

b = 44.55%, c = 18.81% and a minimum cost of £134.26.

Exercises 10.3.3

Introducing a Lagrange multiplier, the minimum is obtained from
2x + y + λ = 0
x + 2y + λ = 0
x+y = 1

with solution x = y = 1/2. To prove that it is a minimum, put
x=

and substitute into f to give
f=

and hence a minimum.

of the minor axis which in this case, is a. It is required to find the minimum of

Since λ cannot equal −a2 and −b2 at the same time then either x = 0 or y = 0.

together with the given constraint

Dividing equation (2) by two and then subtracting the first two equations gives
yz(x − y) = 0
Thus, there are three cases
y = 0 Note that all the equations except the constraint are satisfied since λ = 0.
Thus, a possible solution is (6 − 3α, 0, α) for any α.
z = 0 Again, this implies that λ = 0 so from equation (3) x = 0 and hence from
(4) y = 3. The case when y = 0 in equation (3) has been covered in the first case.
x = y Equations (2) and (3) give

either x = 0 and hence y = 0 and z = 2

or x = 3z and hence from (4) z = 1/2 and x = 3/2, y = 3/2

Equations (1) and (2) have been used to eliminate λ; so a similar exercise must be
undertaken with (2) and (3) to check whether any new solutions arise. They give
the equation
xy(y − 3z) = 0
and again three cases must be studied.
x = 0 In this case λ = 0 so it reduces to one of the above.
y = 0 Again, it reduces to the first case above.
y = 3z From equations (1) and (2) it can be seen that the same cases arise and
correspond to the solutions already obtained.
Note that in the solutions quoted, (6,0,0) is included in the solution (6 − 3α, 0, α)
with α = 0.
25

Using λ and μ as the Lagrange multipliers, the equations that give the

optimum are as quoted

0 = 2x + λ + (2z − 2y)μ
0 = 2y + λ + (z − 2x)μ
0 = 2z − λ + (y + 2x)μ

together with the two given constraints.
Adding the last two equations
2(y + z) + (y + z)μ = 0 ⇒ either y = −z or μ = −2
Adding the first and last equations
2(x + z) + (2z + 2x − y)μ = 0
So, λ has been eliminated.
In the first constraint x = −y + z = 2z . Thus, (2t, −t, t) gives, in
√
the second constraint, 7t2 = 1 so t = ±1/ 7 and two of the quoted solutions are
obtained.
y+z=0

μ = −2

From above 2(x + z) + (2z + 2x − y)(−2) = 0 and so this expression

and the second constraint give a pair of equations
0 = −x + y − z
0=x+y−z
c Pearson Education Limited 2011


Glyn James: Advanced Modern Engineering Mathematics, 4th edition

599

and hence, x = 0 and y = z . Putting these values into the second constraint gives
y = ±1 and possible optimum points at (0, 1, 1) and (0,− 1,− 1).
26

The volume of the figure is
c

V = abc
and the surface area is
A = 2ab + 2ac + bc

a

The problem is a Lagrange multiplier
problem and the three equations are

b

0 = bc + λ(2b + 2c)
0 = ac + λ(2a + c)
0 = ab + λ(2a + b)
The last two equations give
a(c − b) + λ(c − b) = 0 ⇒ either c = b or λ = −a
c = b Putting back into the first equation gives
b2 + 4bλ = 0 so either b = 0 or λ = −b/4
The case b = 0 can be dismissed as geometrically uninteresting. In the third
equation this value of λ gives 0 = ab − 14 b(2a + b) ⇒ b = 2a since again the case
b = 0 is uninteresting.
Calculating a gives the possible maximum as

c = b = 2a with a =

A
and V = 4a3
12

λ = −a Putting this value back into the third of the Lagrange equations gives
a = 0 so gives zero volume and is geometrically uninteresting again.
27

This is a very tough problem but more typical of realistic problems in

engineering rather than most of the illustrative exercises in the book.

The problem asks for a minimum, which is equivalent to the maximum of
−2x21 − x22 − 2x1 x2

The Kuhn–Tucker conditions for this problem are
−4x1 − 2x2 − μ = 0
−2x1 − 2x2 + μ = 0
x1 − x2 − α ≤ 0
μ(x1 − x2 − α) = 0
μ≥0
There are two cases
μ=0

The first two equations give x1 = x2 = 0 and these can only give the

optimum if the inequality is satisfied, namely α ≥ 0.
x1 − x2 = α

Adding the first two equations gives the solution in terms of the

simultaneous linear equations
3x1 + 2x2 = 0
x1 − x2 = α
which clearly have the solution x1 = 2α/5 and x2 = −3α/5. Calculation from the
first or second equation gives μ = −2α/5 which is only optimal if α ≤ 0.

The problem is a standard exercise to illustrate the use of the two basic

algorithms for a single variable search.
31(a) An adaptation of Exercise 29 with the appropriate function used gives

32 The difficulty in this problem is that the eigenvalues must be computed at
each function evaluation. With a package such as MATLAB this is less of a problem
since the instruction eig(A) will give them almost instantly.
The M-file q32 performs this computation. Note the -max(eig(A)) since qapp
looks for a maximum
function a=q32(x)
A=[x -1 0;-1 0 -1;0 -1 x^2];
a=[x;-max(eig(A))];
The calculations are performed as in Exercise 29

To establish the formula is a matter of simple substitution into (10.10).

To find when f (x) = 0, from the Newton method, requires the iteration of the
formula
xnew = x −

f (x)
f (x)

If the function is known at x − h, x, x + h with values f1 , f2 , f3 respectively, then
the derivatives can be replaced by their approximations

For this function the gradient is

and it easily checked that x = −7/16, y = −3/16 gives zero gradient and hence
the minimum at f = −0.84375.
The steepest descent method is easily written in MATLAB. For more complicated
functions two M-files are needed, one to set up the function and its gradient and
the second to set up the line search routine. Anonymous functions can be used for
more .straightforward functions. The following lines of code solve the problem.

Evaluating H i+1 y i it is readily shown that equation (10.18) is satisfied.

The update is one that is quite effective but suffers from the problem that the
denominator can become zero when line searches are not exact. A great deal of
remedial action must be taken to ensure that the problem is overcome.

Note that BFGS does better than Rank 1 and is the choice of method for the

It is easy to check that equation (10.18) is satisfied but note that the notation

has changed and y,h have been replaced by u,v respectively.
H u = Hu + vpT u − HuqT u
= Hu + v − Hu = v since pT u = qT u = 1
To match with the Davidon formula (10.19) first choose β = α = 0 and hence
pT u = αvT u = 1 and qT u = β uT Hu = 1
Substituting gives
H = H −

HuuT H vvT
+ T
uT Hu
v u

as required.
The formula in Exercise 41(i) is obtained by putting β = β = −α = −α . Thus
p = q = α(V − Hu) and hence pT u = α(v − Hu)T u = 1
Substituting gives the formula
H = H +

(v − Hu)(v − Hu)T
(v − Hu)T u

This whole class of solutions was devised by Huang. Many general results can be
proved for this class and many of the commonly used formulae are included in it.

The solution is read off the table as x1 = 20, x2 = 10, x3 = 40 and the maximum
profit is £21,000.
Note that the (z, x7 ) entry is zero; so a non-unique solution is expected. Interchanging the x3 and x7 entries and completing one further tableau gives the
alternative solution x1 = 60, x2 = 50, x3 = 0 and profit is still £21,000.

with(simplex):
cor3:={10 ∗ x+20 ∗ y+30 ∗ z<=1600,10 ∗ x+15 ∗ y+20 ∗ z<=1500,
y+z<=50,x+y+z>=70};
obr3:=100 ∗ x+300 ∗ y+400 ∗ z;
maximize(obr3,cor3,NONNEGATIVE);
# gives the solution {x=20, z=40,y=10}
MAPLE provides the same solution but does not identify the alternative solution.

The square of the distance from the origin to the point ( x, y ) is

3 + 2λz = 0

and putting back into the constraint gives 2λ = ±1. The local extrema are therefore
at (1,2,3) and (−1, −2, −3) with corresponding F = 14 and F = −14.

To obtain the global extremum all the points on each of the boundaries must be
examined. However, in this case, the geometry is sufficiently simple to establish
√
the result. The region is the inside of the sphere of radius 14 in the region
where all the variables are positive. The cost function comprises a series of parallel
planes, so the global maximum in the region is the local maximum at (1,2,3) and
the global minimum in the region is when all the variables are zero, namely (0,0,0)
and F = 0.
9 (i) We are given that 2s = a + b + c, so maximizing A2 with respect to b and
c, together with this constraint, gives
∂(A2 )
∂(A2 )
= s(s − a)(s − c) + λ = 0,
= s(s − a)(s − b) + λ = 0
∂b
∂c
Clearly b = c and the triangle is isosceles.
(ii) Now, as a so to the above equations we add
∂(A2 )
= s(s − b)(s − c) + λ = 0
∂a
and we see that we must have a = b = c and the triangle is equilateral.

shows that lim F = 0. Take any k > 1, then F takes a positive value so we know

The sample proportion p̂ =

leads to rejection at both 5% and 10% levels. The test statistic is more accurate
(the confidence interval is approximate).

Using z.05 = 1.645, the 90% confidence interval for proportion is

p̂ ± 1.645

p̂(1 − p̂)

Thus,




p̂(1 − p̂)

P | p − p̂ |≤ 1.645
n

so with probability 0.9 the maximum error is 1.645 p̂(1 − p̂)/n. Although p̂ is

unknown before the experiment, a figure in the region of 0.25 is expected, hence
we require

From the data, if X denotes height and Y denotes weight, X̄ = 174.26,

The observed mean number of flaws per sample is (12 + 6 × 2)/50 or 0.48.

The total chi-square value is
χ2 = 1.35
which is very small, so the Poisson hypothesis is accepted.

37

The observed average number of α-particles per time interval (taking class

> 10 as 11 for this calculation) is
(203 + 2 × 383 + . . . + 11 × 6)/(57 + 203 + . . . + 6) = 3.87
Using this value for λ in the Poisson probabilities and proceeding as in the previous
exercise a total chi-square value
χ2 = 12.97
is obtained. One parameter has been estimated and used for predicting the expected values, so the comparison is with χ2.05,10 = 18.3, and the Poisson hypothesis
is accepted.

Using the measured average and standard deviation, probabilities can be

obtained from the normal table as follows:

P(X < 12.5) = Φ(1.25) = 0.8944

From the table (Figure 11.29), with n = 50, p = 0.1 so that np = 5, we read

off the Shewhart warning limit as 9.5 and the action limit as 13.5. For the given
data, the warning limit is exceeded at samples 3, 9 and 11, and the action limit is
exceeded at sample 12. The upper control limit is given by

UCL = np + 3 np(1 − p) = 11.4
and this is first exceeded at sample 9.

From Figure 11.29, with n = 100, p = 0.02 so that np = 2, we have Shewhart

warning and action limits 5.5 and 7.5 respectively. The warning limit is exceeded
three times (samples 20, 22 and 25) before the action limit is exceeded at sample
28. The upper control limit is given by

UCL = np + 3 np(1 − p) = 6.2
and this is first exceeded at sample 25.

Total probability of explosion is
P(E) = P(E | (a))P((a)) + P(E | (b))P((b))

= 0.25 × 0.2 + 0.2 × 0.4 + 0.4 × 0.25 + 0.75 × 0.15
= 0.3425

Hence, by Bayes’ Theorem,
P((a) | E) = P(E | (a))P((a))/P(E) = 0.146
P((b) | E) = 0.234
P((c) | E) = 0.292
P((d) | E) = 0.328
and sabotage is therefore the most likely cause of the explosion.

If two bullets hit the target then they could be fired by each possible pair of

with parameter λ is
P(a < X < b) = FX (b) − FX (a) = 1 − e−λb − (1 − e−λa ) = e−λa − e−λb
Using class intervals of five hours we obtain the table as follows:
Class (k)

The value of χ2 = 3.35 is less than χ2.05,5 = 11.07 (seven classes with one parameter
estimated) so the fit to the exponential distribution is good.

The probability of there occurring such a large value is therefore around 4% , so
the value 72 can be regarded as an outlier at the 5% significance level.
With the outlier included we have X̄ = 9.422, SX = 10.77 so the 95% confidence
interval for mean inter-arrival time is
SX
= (7.36, 11.48)
X̄ ± 1.96 √

With the outlier excluded we have X̄ = 8.820, SX = 8.90 so the confidence interval
is (7.11, 10.53).

With 200 machines each becoming misaligned every 200 hours on average, the

rate at which machines become misaligned is λ0 =

200
200

= one per hour on average.

The total cost per hour for each option is the sum of three components: the fixed
cost per hour, the cost of correcting the output and the cost of lost production.
For option A, the fixed cost is £1 per hour per machine, hence £200 per hour.
The average run length ARL0 for a misaligned machine is 20 hours, and this
amount of output must be corrected, so the cost per hour of correcting the output
is λ0 × ARL0 × 10 = £200. Lost production occurs while a machine is in the queue
and being serviced, and this occurs whether the machine is actually misaligned or

not (false alarm). Actual misalignments occur at the rate λ0 and are detected by
the control chart. False alarms occur at the rate
λ1 =

200
= 0.2 per hour
ARL1

where ARL1 = 1000 is the mean time between false alarms for a well-adjusted
machine. These two kinds of action are independent, so the total rate of actions is
λ = λ0 + λ1 = 1.2. Also, the service rate μ = 2 per hour so ρ = λ/μ = 0.6. With
σs =

4

, the mean number of machines out of production is

NS = ρ +

(λσs )2 + ρ2
= 1.163
2(1 − ρ)

and the cost per hour of lost production is 200NS = £ 232.5. The total cost for
option A is therefore £ 200 + £ 200 + £ 232.5 = £ 632.5 per hour.
For option B, the fixed cost is £ 1.50 per hour per machine, hence £ 300 per hour.
With ARL0 = 4, the cost per hour of correcting the output is λ0 × ARL0 × 10 = £
40. With ARL1 = 750, false alarms occur at the rate λ1 = 200/750 = 0.267 per
hour, so machines are taken out of production at the total rate λ = λ0 +λ1 = 1.267,
hence ρ = λ/μ = 0.633. The mean number of machines out of production is
therefore NS = 1.317 at a cost per hour 200NS = £ 263.4. The total cost for
option B is therefore £ 300 + £ 40 + £ 263.4 = £ 603.4 per hour. This is less
than for option A.

For the source, P(in = 0) = α and P(in = 1) = 1 − α. For the channel,

P(out = 0 | in = 1) = P(out = 1 | in = 0) = p.

from which
p̄(1 − α) > pα

(p + p̄)α = α < p̄

For the binary symmetric channel, X = {0, 1} with P(X = 0) = α, and

Y = {0, 1} with P(Y = 0) = p̄α + pᾱ, P(Y = 1) = pα + p̄ᾱ(p̄ = 1 − p, ᾱ = 1 − α,
using the results of the previous exercise). Also
P(X = 0 ∩ Y = 0) = P(Y = 0 | X = 0)P(X = 0) = p̄α

when either every bit is correct (p = 0) or every bit is inverted (p = 1) . No
information is transmitted when the bits are uniformly randomized (p = 12 ) .
