Introduction of "lecture-Notes and Tutorials"

This blog contains information regarding various computer courses student may study during their study curriculum. Idea is to post lecture notes,question banks,tips on subject about which I can talk n this blog. This will definately provide guidance about subject. I am starting with question bank of Simulation & Modeling and Automata Theory and will keep on posting Lecture notes,tips in the latter posts.

Brief discussion about Differential Equation models and their Simulator

1. Describe the working of a Simple harmonic oscillator?What do u understand by Damping factor?Describe the driving force which makes the oscillator oscillate?And also give reasons for dampening of the motion of the oscillator?
2. What is the difference b/w Discrete and Linear oscillator?Stress upon the difference in working mechanism of the oscillators.
3. Discuss Lotka-Volterra Model
4. Discuss Rossler’s Attractor?
5. What do u understand by Stability problems? Also, discuss various sources of error that can occur in a System?
6. What do u understand by positive and negative feedbacks in a Feedback loop?
7. What do u understand by exponential delay of first order? Discuss factor that is responsible for dampening of such a system?
8. Discuss feedback loop in a Continuous System?
9. Compare the cyclic behavior of the Rossler,Vanderpol, and second linear oscillator
10. Explain how the effect of a state transition may not only be to schedule new events , but also to cancel events that were scheduled in the part.
11. State and Explain DTSS.

Discussing Cellular Automata in detail

1. What is Cellular Automata?Waht is its use?How is it different from switching automata?Explain.
2. What is use of Cellular Automata for discrete time models and their simulation?Explain
3. Write a Simulator for one–dimensional cellular automata. Compare the direct approach that scans cell all the time with the discrete event approach in terms of execution time.
4. Compare the cyclic behavior of the Rossler,Vanderpol, and second linear oscillator

Understanding Input Output behavior of a System
