## Abstract A method for finding the optimal control of linear singular systems with a quadratic cost functional using piecewise linear polynomial functions is discussed. The state variable, state rate, and the control vector are expanded in piecewise linear polynomial functions with unknown coeffi

✦ Synopsis
We explore the connection between ideals of fat points which correspond to n Ž . . subschemes of ސ obtained by intersecting mixed powers of ideals of points , and Ž . piecewise polynomial functions splines on a d-dimensional simplicial complex ⌬ d w x embedded in R . Using the inverse system approach introduced by Macaulay 11 , we give a complete characterization of the free resolutions possible for ideals in w x Ž k x, y generated by powers of homogeneous linear forms we allow the powers to . differ . We show how ideals generated by powers of homogeneous linear forms are related to the question of determining, for some fixed ⌬, the dimension of the vector space of splines on ⌬ of degree less than or equal to k. We use this relationship and the results above to derive a formula which gives the number of Ž . planar mixed splines in sufficiently high degree.

In certain inverse problems it is useful to be able to compute solutions which are, in some sense, as simple as possible. For example, one may wish to compute solutions which are piecewise constant and with as few discontinuities as possible. Such solutions are suited to describe models, e.g., geolo
## Abstract An efficient numerical method for finding the solution of piecewise constant delay systems is presented. The method is based upon hybrid of block‐pulse functions and Chebyshev polynomials. The operational matrix of delay is constructed. The properties of hybrid functions together with t
