- Perko, Section 2.5, problem 5:
- Choose one of the following systems and determine all of the equilibrium points for
the system, indicating whether each is a sync, source, or saddle.
(a) Moore-Greitzer model: The Moore-Greitzer equations model rotating stall and surge in gas turbine engines are given by<amsmath> \aligned \frac{d\psi}{dt} &= \frac{1}{4 B^2 l_c}\left(\phi - \Phi_T(\psi) \right), \\ \frac{d\phi}{dt} &= \frac{1}{l_c}\left( \Phi_c(\phi) - \psi + \frac{J}{8} \frac{\partial^2 \Psi_c}{\partial \phi^2} \right), \\ \frac{dJ}{dt} &= \frac{2}{\mu + m} \left( \frac{\partial \Phi_c}{\partial \phi} + \frac{J}{8} \frac{\partial^3 \Phi_c}{\partial \phi^3} \right) J, \endaligned
</amsmath>where
<amsmath> \aligned B &= 0.2, & \Phi_T(\psi) &= \sqrt{\psi},\\ l_c &= 6, & \Psi_c(\phi) &= 1 + 1.5 \phi - 0.5 \phi^3, \\ \mu &= 1.256, &\qquad\qquad m &= 2. \endaligned
</amsmath>This is a model for the dynamics of the compression system (first part of a jet engine) with $\psi$ representing the pressure rise across the compressor, $\phi$ representing the mass flow through the compressor and $J$ representing the amplitude squared of the first modal flow perturbation (corresponding to a rotating stall disturbance).
(b) Genetic toggle switch: Consider the dynamics of two transcriptional repressors connected together in a cycle. It can be shown that the normalized dynamics of the system can be written as
<amsmath> \frac{dz_1}{d\tau} = \frac{\mu}{1 + z_2^n} - z_1 - v_1,\qquad \frac{dz_2}{d\tau} = \frac{\mu}{1 + z_1^n} - z_2 - v_2.
</amsmath>where $z_1$ and $z_2$ represent scaled versions of the protein concentrations, $v_1$ and $v_2$ represent external inputs and the time scale has been changed. Let $\mu = 2.16$, $n = 2$ and $v_1 = v_2 = 0$.
(c) Congestion control: A simplified model for congestion control between $N$ computers connected by a router is given by the differential equation
<amsmath> \aligned \frac{dx_i}{dt} &= -b \frac{x_i^2}{2} + (b_{\text{max}} - b), \qquad \frac{db}{dt} &= \Bigl( \sum_{i=1}^N x_i \Bigr) - c, \endaligned
</amsmath>where $x_i \in {\mathbb R}$, $i = 1, \ldots, N$ are the transmission rates for the sources of data, $b \in {\mathbb R}$ is the current buffer size of the router, $b_{\text{max}} > 0$ is the maximum buffer size and $c > 0$ is the capacity of the link connecting the router to the computers. The $\dot x_i$ equation represents the control law that the individual computers use to determine how fast to send data across the network and the $\dot b$ equation represents the rate at which the buffer on the router fills up. Consider the case where $N = 2$ (so that we have three states, $x_1$, $x_2$ and $b$) and take $b_{\text{max}} = 1$ Mb and $c = 2$ Mb/s.
