Projected Dynamical System

Projected Dynamical System

Projected dynamical systems is a mathematical theory investigating the behaviour of dynamical systems where solutions are restricted to a constraint set. The discipline shares connections to and applications with both the static world of optimization and equilibrium problems and the dynamical world of ordinary differential equations. A projected dynamical system is given by the flow to the projected differential equation

\frac{dx(t)}{dt} = \Pi_K(x(t),-F(x(t)))

where K is our constraint set. Differential equations of this form are notable for having a discontinuous vector field.

Famous quotes containing the words projected and/or system:

    “The guarantee that our self enjoys an intended relation to the outer world is most, if not all, we ask from religion. God is the self projected onto reality by our natural and necessary optimism. He is the not-me personified.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “The genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
