We study in this note the Dirichlet problem for complex Monge-Ampère equation in compact Stein manifolds with boundary. As far as we know among the global results for Monge-Ampère equations, compact manifolds with boundary have been less discussed. © 2008 International Press  

A common solution for increasing the accuracy of wound-rotor (WR) resolvers is to increase the number of poles. To achieve a compact design, fractional slot concentrated winding is used for multi-pole WR resolvers. However, employing such windings leads to rich sub-harmonics in the induced voltages. To suppress these undesirable sub-harmonics, multi-layer windings with appropriate shifting angle between the layers is suggested. However, the said shifting angle is limited by the slot pitch so that the capability of the multi-layer winding is not utilized fully. To overcome the mentioned deficiency a slotless disk type configuration is proposed in this paper. Then, an optimization based on the... 

The problem of estimating pulse repetition interval (PRI) of an interleaved pulse train which consist of several independent radar signals, is the main issue of signal processing in electronic support systems. PRI Transform algorithm is one of the well known and effective methods of PRI detection which is capable of detecting several close jittered signals and surpassing subharmonics, but have some drawbacks especially because of small PRI dynamic range and heavy computations. In this paper a modified PRI transform is introduced which manage wide range of PRIs simultaneously, and speed up the algorithm by significantly reducing the computations. Moreover an efficient threshold is set for... 

A common solution for increasing the accuracy of wound-rotor (WR) resolvers is to increase the number of poles. To achieve a compact design, fractional slot concentrated winding (FSCW) is used for multi-pole WR resolvers. However, employing such windings leads to rich sub-harmonics in the induced voltages.

Due to international competition and strict limitations of standards regarding the noise level, investigation of gear vibration is of great importance. In this paper, nonlinear oscillations of spur gear pairs including the backlash nonlinearity is studied. Dynamic system is described through the classical single degree of freedom (SDOF) model in terms of dynamic transmission error (DTE). Using multiple scale method, forced vibration responses of the gear system including primary, super-harmonic and sub-harmonic resonances are investigated. In each case, the jump phenomenon and stability analysis are studied. In addition, the effect of dynamic and manufacturing parameters of the gear system... 

Higher-order effects in three-wave resonant interaction of a surface wave, with a pair of interfacial waves in a two-layer fluid, are studied theoretically. Following an initial rapid growth, the interfacial waves approach a steady state of constant amplitude. An explicit solution is presented for transition to the ultimate state of the interaction. It is shown that for interaction in a wave flume, it is necessary to include a 2nd pair of the interfacial waves, resulting from a reflection of the original pair in the analysis. The effects of different parameters on the dynamics of the interaction are investigated. The results indicate that a faster initial growth does not necessarily lead to...

In this paper, the nonlinear transversal vibration of an axially moving viscoelastic string on a viscoelastic guide subjected to a mono-frequency excitation is considered. The model of the viscoelastic guide is a parallel combination of springs and viscous dampers. The governing equation of motion is developed using Hamilton's principle. Applying the method of multiple scales to the governing partial differential equation, the solvability condition and approximate solutions are derived. Three cases, namely primary, subharmonic and superharmonic resonances are studied and appropriate analytical solutions are obtained. The effect of mean value velocity, force amplitude, guide stiffness and... 

Varactor and bipolar junction transistor (BJT) frequency multipliers are a class of non-linear circuits that show parametric instability when the input drive is varied. If parametric oscillations are present in the circuit, output phase noise of the multiplier degrades remarkably in some specific driving levels. Phase noise analysis is performed by the conversion matrix method using generalised nodal analysis. The conversion method predicts the phase noise degradation precisely because it encompasses the effect of the noise sources that are modulated by the large signal drive. The added phase noise of a varactor and a BJT frequency doubler with subharmonic oscillation is calculated and the... 

Varactor frequency multipliers often show parametric instability with increasing RF input power. Examination of the added phase noise of the varactor frequency multipliers show that, if parametric oscillations are present in the circuit, output phase noise degrades remarkably in some specific driving levels. Phase noise analysis is done by the conversion matrix method. The conversion method predicts the phase noise degradation precisely because it encounters the noise conversion by large driving levels. The added phase noise of a varactor frequency doubler with subharmonic oscillation is calculated and the simulation results are compared with measurement results. Both simulation and...
