This paper studies the mean-square stability of heterogeneous LTI vehicular platoons with inter-vehicle communication channels affected by random data loss. We consider a discrete-time platoon system predecessor following topology and constant time-headway spacing policy. Lossy are modeled Bernoulli processes allowed to be correlated in space. make use class compensation strategies reduce effec...

In the paper, based on stochastic analysis theory and Lyapunov functional method, we discuss the mean square stability of impulsive stochastic delay differential equations with markovian switching and poisson jumps, and the sufficient conditions of mean square stability have been obtained. One example illustrates the main results. Furthermore, some well-known results are improved and generalize...

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using the C-band European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS-1) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data to estimate surface soil roughness in a semiarid rangeland. Radar backscattering coefficients were extracted from a dry and a wet season SAR image and were compared with 47 in situ soil roughness measurements obtained in the rocky soils of the Walnut G...

In this paper we introduce a parameter for the retrieval of the thickness of undeformed first-year sea ice that is specifically adapted to compact polarimetric (CP) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The parameter is denoted as the “CP ratio”. In model simulations we investigated the sensitivity of the CP ratio to the dielectric constant, ice thickness, ice surface roughness, and radar inci...

Recently, we initiated in [Systems Control Lett., 26 (1995), pp. 245–251] the study of exponential stability of neutral stochastic functional differential equations, and in this paper, we shall further our study in this area. We should emphasize that the main technique employed in this paper is the well-known Razumikhin argument and is completely different from those used in our previous paper ...

This paper is concerned with the H∞ state feedback control problem for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems with time-varying state delays. Firstly, the stochastic dissipativity of the time-delay nonlinear system is established, based on which the H∞ state feedback controller is synthesized. We show that the closed-loop system rendered by the designed controller can achieve the L2-gain perfo...
