17. System Modeling Reality Physical System Physical Laws + Simplifyingassumptions Mathematical description Theory ENGG2013

18. How to Model a Typhoon? Lots of partial differential equations are required. ENGG2013

19. Example: Simple Pendulum • L = length of rod • m = mass of the bob •  = angle • g = gravitational constant  L m mg sin   mg ENGG2013

20. Example: Simple Pendulum • arc length = s = L • velocity = v = L d/dt • acceleration = a= L d2/dt2 • Apply Newton’s law F=ma to the tangential axis:  L m mg sin   mg ENGG2013

21. What are the Assumptions? • The bob is a point mass • Mass of the rod is zero • The rod does not stretch • No air friction • The motion occurs in a 2-D plane* • Atmosphere pressure is neglected * Foucault pendulum @ wiki ENGG2013

22. Further Simplification • Small-angle assumption • When  is small,  (in radian) is very close to sin . Solutions are elliptic functions. simplifies to Solutions are sinusoidal functions. ENGG2013

23. Modeling the Pendulum modeling or Continuous-time dynamical system for small angle  ENGG2013

24. Discrete-Time Dynamical System • Compound interest • r = interest rate per month • p(t) = money in your account • t = 0,1,2,3,4 Time is discrete ENGG2013

25. Discrete-Time Dynamical System • Logistic population growth • n(t) = population in the t-th year • t = 0,1,2,3,4 An example for K=1 Graph of n(1-n) Increase in population fast growth Slow growth Proportionality constant Slow growth negative growth ENGG2013

26. Sample Population Growth Initialized at n(1) = 0.01 Monotonically increasing Oscillating a=0.8, K=1 a=2, K=1 ENGG2013

27. Sample Population Growth Initialized at n(1) = 0.01 a=2.8, K=1 Chaotic ENGG2013

28. Rough Classification System Static Dynamic Probabilistic systems are treated in ENGG2040 Continuous-time Discrete-time ENGG2013

29. Determinism • From Wikiedia: “…if you knew all of the variables and rules, you could work out what will happen in the future.” • There is nothing called randomness. • Even flipping a coin is deterministic. • We cannot predict the result of coin flipping because we do not know the initial condition precisely.
