Multi-Dimensional Bisection Method (MDBM)

MDBM The bisection method - or the so-called interval halving method - is one of the simplest root-finding algorithms which is used to find zeros of continuous non-linear functions. This method is very robust and it always tends to the solution if the signs of the function values are different at the borders of the chosen initial interval.
Geometrically, root-finding algorithms of f(x)=0 find one intersection point of the graph of the function with the axis of the independent variable. In many applications, this 1-dimensional intersection problem must be extended to higher dimensions, e.g.: intersections of surfaces in a 3D space (volume), which can be described as a system on non-linear equations. In higher dimensions, the existence of multiple solutions becomes very important, since the intersection of two surfaces can create multiple intersection curves.
In the proposed project an efficient root finding algorithm will be implemented, which can determine whole high-dimensional submanifolds (points, curves, surfaces…) of the roots of implicit non-linear equation systems, even in cases, where the number of unknowns surpasses the number of equations. With order-of-magnitudes less function evaluation than the brute-force method

Harmonic Balance for Delayed Systems (HBDS)

HBDS Fast stability chart computation in frequency domain fortime periodic systems with multiple time delays
A complex numerical method were implemented to analyse Delayed Linear Time Variant (D-LTV) systems. Our main goal was to create the so-called stability chart, which shows the stable regions in a given parameter range. The developed numerical method is capable to detect the stable regions fully automatically for optional number of parameter. The method is optimized for 2 parameters, which is the most important for the technical point of view. A 2D stability chart can be constructed under seconds even for very complicated systems. 3 parameter is also supported and tested, but its computational time is significantly higher. Theoretically 4 and higher number of parameters could also be analysed, but it is not tested and memory problems can easily occur.
The program is capable to use GPU array to accelerate the computation (only for Matlab version R2012a (or higher)).
