Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose an interpolation-based projection framework for model reduction of quadratic-bilinear systems. The approach constructs projection matrices from the bilinear part of the original quadratic-bilinear descriptor system and uses these matrices to project the original system.
Design/methodology/approach
The projection matrices are constructed by viewing the bilinear system as a linear parametric system, where the input associated with the bilinear part is treated as a parameter. The advantage of this approach is that the projection matrices can be constructed reliably by using an a posteriori error bound for linear parametric systems. The use of the error bound allows us to select a good choice of interpolation points and parameter samples for the construction of the projection matrices by using a greedy-type framework.
Findings
The results are compared with the standard quadratic-bilinear projection methods and it is observed that the approximations through the proposed method are comparable to the standard method but at a lower computational cost (offline time).
Originality/value
In addition to the proposed model order reduction framework, the authors extend the one-sided moment matching parametric model order reduction (PMOR) method to a two-sided method that doubles the number of moments matched in the PMOR method.

Abstract
Purpose
Nonlinear dynamical systems may, under certain conditions, be represented by a bilinear system. The paper is concerned with the construction of the controllability and observability gramians for the corresponding bilinear system. Such gramians form the core of model reduction schemes involving balancing.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper examines certain properties of the bilinear system and identifies parameters that capture important information relating to the behaviour of the system.
Findings
Novel approaches for the determination of approximate constant gramians for use in balancing‐type model reduction techniques are presented. Numerical examples are given which indicate the efficacy of the proposed formulations.
Research limitations/implications
The systems under consideration are restricted to the so‐called weakly nonlinear systems, i.e. those without strong nonlinearities where the essential type of behaviour of the system is determined by its linear part.
Practical implications
The suggested methods lead to an improvement in the accuracy of model reduction. Model reduction is a vital aspect of modern system simulation.
Originality/value
The proposed novel approaches for model reduction are particularly beneficial for the design of controllers for nonlinear systems and for the design of radio‐frequency integrated circuits.

Abstract
A number of finite element formulations involving discontinuous weighting functions have been tested against analytic solutions for a steady scalar convection—diffusion problem at intermediate Peclet number, with a ‘hard’ downstream boundary condition. The emphasis is on extending these methods to isoparametric bilinear and biquadratic elements. In order to do this a procedure is given for the exact calculation of shape function Laplacians. Having confirmed the success of the Brooks—Hughes streamline upwind Petrov—Galerkin (SUPG) method for isoparametric bilinear elements, formulations for biquadratic elements are examined. Galerkin least squares offers little advantage over SUPG in the test problem. The generalized Galerkin method of Donea et al. gave excellent results, but because of concern over the possibility of cross‐streamline artificial diffusion in some cases, a strictly streamline formulation incorporating the optimal parameters of Donea et al. is proposed. This gave excellent results on a sufficiently refined mesh.

Abstract
Argues that ethics and values are systemic realities and can be scientifically programmed in cybernetically oriented socio‐scientific systems. The case taken is of economic general equilibrium with possibilities of multiple equilibria. The treatment of ethics and values in this sense in economic theory makes them endogenous phenomena of socio‐economic reality. This substantive idea of ethics and values as endogenous phenomena in socio‐scientific systems is termed the principle of ethical endogeneity. Its social cybernetical possibilities are developed mathematically. While the mathematical treatment uses bilinear algebra for the formulation, greater importance may be seen in the scientific essence of the principle of ethical endogeneity applicable universally. This is particularly true of systems which need to be epistemologically unified.

Abstract
Classical mixed formulations of the boundary‐value problem of linear elasticity are reviewed, and a new three‐field formulation is introduced. The formulation is an extension of the classical Hu‐Washizu approach, and takes the form of a non‐standard mixed problem. Convergence of finite element approximations of both the old and new methods are discussed, with an emphasis on their behaviour in the incompressible limit. Conditions for the stability and uniform convergence of the new method are presented, and it is shown that the Pian‐Sumihara basis, when used in the new formulation, leads to a convergent method.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is devoted to present an accurate assessment for determine natural frequencies for uniform and non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beams and frames by an adaptive generalized finite element method (GFEM). The present paper concentrates on developing the C1 element of the adaptive GFEM for vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams and frames.
Design/methodology/approach
The variational problem of free vibration is formulated and the main aspects of the adaptive GFEM are presented and discussed. The efficiency and convergence of the proposed method in vibration analysis of uniform and non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beams are checked. The application of this technique in a frame is also presented.
Findings
The present paper concentrates on developing the C1 element of the adaptive GFEM for vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams and frames. The GFEM, which was conceived on the basis of the partition of unity method, allows the inclusion of enrichment functions that contain a priori knowledge about the fundamental solution of the governing differential equation. The proposed enrichment functions are dependent on the geometric and mechanical properties of the element. This approach converges very fast and is able to approximate the frequency related to any vibration mode.
Originality/value
The main contribution of the present study consisted in proposing an adaptive GFEM for vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli uniform and non-uniform beams and frames. The GFEM results were compared with those obtained by the h and p-versions of FEM and the c-version of the CEM. The adaptive GFEM has shown to be efficient in the vibration analysis of beams and has indicated that it can be applied even for a coarse discretization scheme in complex practical problems.
