Parametrically-excited surface waves, forced by a repeating sequence of delta-function impulses, are considered within the framework of the Zhang-Viñals model [W. Zhang and J. Viñals, J. Fluid Mech. 336, 301 (1997)]. With impulsive forcing, the linear stability analysis can be carried out exactly and leads to an implicit equation for the neutral stability curves. As noted previously [J. Bechhoe...

When an impulsive control is adopted for a stochastic delay difference system SDDS , there are at least two situations that should be contemplated. If the SDDS is stable, then what kind of impulse can the original system tolerate to keep stable? If the SDDS is unstable, then what kind of impulsive strategy should be taken to make the system stable? Using the Lyapunov-Razumikhin technique, we es...

In this paper, the issues of average consensus in undirected delayed networks of dynamic agents with impulsive effects are investigated. The primary contribution of this paper is to propose the consensus schemes in undirected delayed networks of dynamic agents having impulsive effects as well as fixed, switching topology. Based on impulsive stability theory on delayed dynamical systems, we deri...

Maladaptive impulsivity is a core symptom in various psychiatric disorders. However, there is only limited evidence available on whether different measures of impulsivity represent largely unrelated aspects or a unitary construct. In a cross-species translational study, thirty rats were trained in impulsive choice (delayed reward task) and impulsive action (five-choice serial reaction time task...

In the case of study on the seismic behavior of tanks, one of the most important subjects is selection of convective and impulsive frequencies for storage tanks. These two frequencies are defined by Housner. The major utility of these frequencies is for Rayleigh damping which is a must for time history analysis. API 650, EUROCODE 8 have suggested some analytical solutions for finding convective...

This paper is concerned with the problem of H control of fuzzy nonlinear impulsive systems with quantized feedback. New results on the H feedback control are established for one class of fuzzy nonlinear uncertain impulsive systems and one class of fuzzy nonlinear impulsive systems with nonlinear uncertainties by choosing appropriately quantized strategies and applying Lyapunov function approach...

This paper investigates the practical exponential stability of equilibrium for impulsive systems. Stability theorem and converse stability theorem are established by employing the second Lyapunov method. These theorems are used to analyze the practical exponential stability of the zero solution of perturbed impulsive systems and cascaded impulsive systems.

This research deals with learning in digital environments. Adaptive game-based learning considers learners’ preferred learning behavior and adapts the game system accordingly. In order to analyze learning behavior, the focus lies on a specific cognitive style, impulsive and reflective (I/R), which describe behaviors in problem-solving and decision-making environments. Impulsive people tend to r...

In this paper, we consider the pest management model with spraying microbial pesticide and releasing the infected pests, and the infected pests have the function similar to the microbial pesticide and can infect the healthy pests, further weaken or disable their prey function till death. By using the Floquet theory for impulsive differential equations, we show that there exists a globally asymp...

Yüksel Arslan Elektrik ve Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölümü Yıldırım Beyazıt Üniversitesi Ankara, Türkiye [email protected] Abstract— There are many methods proposed for the detection of impulsive sounds in literature. Most of them are complex and require adaptation to ambient noise. In this paper we propose a very simple and efficient method to detect impulsive sounds. Although we use energy...
