In this paper we develop Lyapunov and invariant set stability theorems for non-linear impulsive dynamical systems. Furthermore, we generalize dissipativity theory to non-linear dynamical systems with impulsive e€ ects. Speci®cally, the classical concepts of system storage functions and supply rates are extended to impulsive dynamical systems providing a generalized hybrid system energy interpre...

Recent investigations have demonstrated that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with a range of impulsive behaviors (e.g., risky sexual behavior and antisocial behavior). The purpose of the present study was to extend extant research by exploring whether emotion dysregulation explains the association between PTSD and impulsive behaviors. Participants were an ethnically diverse s...

Adolescents and young adults who affiliate with friends who engage in impulsive behavior are more likely to engage in impulsive behaviors themselves, and those who associate with prosocial (i.e. more prudent, future oriented) peers are more likely to engage in prosocial behavior. However, it is difficult to disentangle the contribution of peer influence vs. peer selection (i.e., whether individ...

In this paper, a novel intermittent impulsive synchronization scheme is proposed to realize synchronization of two chaotic delayed neural networks. Intermittent impulsive control breaks through the limitation of the upper bound of the impulsive intervals in general impulsive control. In our synchronization scheme, impulsive control is only activated in the control windows, rather than during th...

The investigations are made on the exponential synchronization of the stochastic Lur’e system with nonlinear coupling and impulsive disturbance. The impulsive effects in complex networks could play a positive or a negative role for synchronization. For the sake of simplification and efficiency, a single impulsive controller is designed to realize the synchronization of the impulsive dynamical n...

This present paper addresses impulsive consensus problem in directed networks of dynamic agents having communication delays. Based on impulsive control theory on delayed dynamical systems, a simple impulsive consensus protocol for such networks is proposed, and a generic criterion for solving average consensus problem is analytically derived. It is shown that global average consensus of a direc...

Regarding the importance of the prevention of hazards and adverse environmental impacts in industrial and populated areas such as southern parts of Tehran city, the response of impulsive period ground-supported tanks were assessed. Having considered the study area's soil properties, the response of ground-supported tanks was modelled. Regarding the soil properties of southern parts of Tehran, t...

In the past years, impulsive control for a single system and impulsive synchronization between two systems have been extensively studied. However, investigation on impulsive control and synchronization of complex networks has just started. In these studies, a network is continuously coupled, and then is synchronized by using impulsive control strategy. In this paper, a new and different coupled...

This paper is concerned with stabilization for a class of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy neural networks (TSFNNs) with time-varying delays. An impulsive control scheme is employed to stabilize a TSFNN. We firstly establish the model of TSFNNs by using fuzzy sets and fuzzy reasoning and propose the problem of impulsive stabilization for this model. Then, we present several stabilization conditions based on...
