Abstract

Laguerre diagrams are used as a geometric idealization of 3-dimensional polycrystals. These cell structures are entirely defined by a set of weighted sites. Each site is given an additional weight which affects the size of the associated cell. Models of growth can be constructed for this idealized polycrystal geometry by writing the motion equation in terms of the weighted sites alone. In computer simulation, the solution of non-linear differential system is approximated by piecewise linear motions. During a small interval of time §t, every site Si is moved to Si+§Si and the topological transformations induced by all these simultaneous linear motions are determined and performed in an appropiate manner. Primary simulation results are presented.

Dynamical system

In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space, such as in a parametric curve. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a pipe, the random motion of particles in the air, and the number of fish each springtime in a lake. The most general definition unifies several concepts in mathematics such as ordinary differential equations and ergodic theory by allowing different choices of the space and how time is measured.

Nonlinear system

In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, physicists, mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. Nonlinear dynamical systems, describing changes in variables over time, may appear chaotic, unpredictable, or counterintuitive, contrasting with much simpler linear systems.

Linear differential equation

In mathematics, a linear differential equation is a differential equation that is defined by a linear polynomial in the unknown function and its derivatives, that is an equation of the form where a0(x), ..., an(x) and b(x) are arbitrary differentiable functions that do not need to be linear, and y′, ..., y(n) are the successive derivatives of an unknown function y of the variable x. Such an equation is an ordinary differential equation (ODE).
