Similarity solutions of Reaction-Diffusion equation with space- and time-dependent diffusion and reaction terms

We consider solvability of the generalized reaction-diffusion equation with both space- and time-dependent diffusion and reaction terms by means of the similarity method. By introducing the similarity variable, the reaction-diffusion equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation. Matching the resulting ordinary differential equation with known exactly solvable equations, one can obtain corresponding exactly solvable reaction-diffusion systems. Several representative examples of exactly solvable reaction-diffusion equations are presented.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

Generalized Rayleigh and Jacobi processes and exceptional orthogonal polynomials

We present four types of infinitely many exactly solvable Fokker-Planck equations, which are related to the newly discovered exceptional orthogonal polynomials. They represent the deformed versions of the Rayleigh process and the Jacobi process.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure

An informal paper on large-scale dynamic systems

Large scale systems are defined as systems requiring more than one decision maker to control the system. Decentralized control and decomposition are discussed for large scale dynamic systems. Information and many-person decision problems are analyzed
