The global ?-synchronization problem for nonlinear multi-weighted complex dynamical networks with uncertain parameter perturbation and mixed time-varying delays is investigated in this paper. Unlike other existing works, all delays, including sampling internal coupling are assumed to be unbounded, making the considered model more general practical. Based on generalized impulsive comparison prin...

INTRODUCTION It is acknowledged that longer delays between first symptoms and diagnosis result in increased impairment in newly detected leprosy patients. However, it is unclear whether detection delay in relation to impairment can be used as a general or absolute performance indicator of leprosy control programmes. It is unknown whether similar delays always result in similar proportions of im...

We study the existence and exponential attractivity of periodic solutions to Cohen-Grossberg neural network with distributed delays. Our results are obtained by applying the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and a general Halanay inequality.

in this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is proposed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown discrete and distributed time-varying delays, and the proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the signs of the control gains.based on the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed. the main contributions of the paper...

in this paper, global robust stability of stochastic impulsive recurrent neural networks with time-varyingdelays which are represented by the takagi-sugeno (t-s) fuzzy models is considered. a novel linear matrix inequality (lmi)-based stability criterion is obtained by using lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of uncertain fuzzy stochastic impulsive recurrent neural...

IYER, VIJAY R. A Simulation Study of Wavelength Assignment and Reservation Policies with Signaling Delays. (Under the direction of Professor George N. Rouskas). This thesis studies the effect of non-negligible signaling delays on the performance of wavelength-assignment heuristics, wavelength reservation schemes, routing schemes, holding time (average being 1/μ) of the lightpaths and traffic lo...

The development of large scale virtual reality and simulation systems have been mostly driven by the DIS and HLA standards community. A number of issues are coming to light about the applicability of these standards, in their present state, to the support of general multi-user VR systems. This paper pinpoints four issues that must be readdressed before large scale virtual reality systems become...
