The robust stability problem of uncertain linear time-delay systems is investigated using a refined discretized Lyapunov functional approach. The uncertainty under consideration is norm-bounded, and possibly time-varying. A new stability criterion is derived. The computational requirement is reduced for the same discretization mesh. Examples show that the results obtained by this new criterion ...

This paper studies the problem of observer-based stabilization of stochastic nonlinear systems with limited communication. A communication channel exists between the output of the plant and the input of the dynamic controller, which is considered network-induced delays, data packet dropouts, and measurement quantization. A new stability criterion is derived for the stochastic nonlinear system b...

In an environment consisting of a large number of databases, it can no longer be reasonable to assume that construction of users' views could rely on an a-priori static partial or global schema integration. Approaches which are based on integrated mechanisms are obviously intractable (if not impossible) within a large size environment. In this paper, we propose an approach where users are allow...

Abstract – This paper presents new results on delay-dependent global exponential stability for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay. Based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, some novel delay-dependent stability criteria are derivedin terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) involving the minimum andmaximum delaybounds. By using delay-partitioning method and the l...

This study compares the relative role of impression management tactics and the other form of supervisor–subordinate guanxi (s–s g) in predicting supervisor-rated employee performance. Empirical data were collected from 175 supervisor-subordinate dyads working full-time in Taiwanese organisations. Specifically, this study uses the Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) to formulate employee s...

We present a variational reformulation of a class of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations as (limits of) constrained convex minimization problems. In particular, an ε−dependent family of weighted energy-dissipation (WED) functionals on entire trajectories is introduced and proved to admit minimizers. These minimizers converge to solutions of the original doubly nonlinear equation as ε → 0. The ...

When designing and implementing real world ambient intelligent systems we are in need of applicable information systems engineering methods. The tools we find in the intelligent systems area focus on the knowledge engineering parts, whereas traditional software engineering techniques are usually not designed with the peculiarities of intelligent systems design in mind. This holds in particular ...

We first introduce, using a functional approach, the notion of capacity related to the parabolic p–laplace operator. Then we prove a decomposition theorem for measures (in space and time) that do not charge the sets of null capacity. We apply this result to prove existence and uniqueness of renormalized solutions for nonlinear parabolic initial boundary value problems with such measures as righ...

We study stochastically blinking dynamical systems as in the companion paper (Part I). We analyze the asymptotic properties of the blinking system as time goes to infinity. The trajectories of the averaged and blinking system cannot stick together forever, but the trajectories of the blinking system may converge to an attractor of the averaged system. There are four distinct classes of blinking...
