Consumer impulsiveness is an issue with strong implications both for marketers and public policy makers. Much literature in this field has dealt with self-control and the ability to delay gratification. In this paper, we explore the ramifications of certain impulsive behaviors that may be frequently engaged in over time. We show that such decisions are driven by a goal of hedonic gratification ...

In this paper, a new class of hybrid impulsive and switching models are introduced. Using switched Lyapunov functions, some new general criteria for exponential stability and asymptotic stability of hybrid impulsive and switched nonlinear systems are established. Further more, a new hybrid impulsive and switching control strategy for the nonlinear systems is developed to improve the system perf...

This paper investigates the projective synchronization PS of drive-response time-varying coupling complex dynamical networks with time delay via an adaptive-impulsive controlling method, in which the weights of links are time varying. Based on the stability analysis of impulsive control system, sufficient conditions for the PS are derived, and a hybrid controller, that is, an adaptive feedback ...

In this paper, the notions of integral 0 φ -stability of ordinary impulsive differential equations are introduced. The definition of integral 0 φ -stability depends significantly on the fixed time impulses. Sufficient conditions for integral 0 φ -stability are obtained by using comparison principle and piecewise continuous cone valued Lyapunov functions. A new comparison lemma, connecting the s...

This paper investigates a dynamic mathematical model of fish algae consumption with an impulsive control strategy analytically. It is proved that the system has a globally asymptotically stable algae-eradication periodic solution and is permanent by using the theory of impulsive equations and small-amplitude perturbation techniques. Numerical results for impulsive perturbations demonstrate the ...

In this paper, a chemostat model for concerning impulsive state feedback control strategy is proposed and investigated. We obtained sufficient conditions of global asymptotical stability of the system without impulsive state feedback control. And also did we obtain the system with impulsive state feedback control may have order one periodic solution, as well as, the sufficient conditions for ex...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we establish the Hyers--Ulam--Rassias stability and the Hyers--Ulam stability of impulsive Volterra integral equation by using a fixed point method‎.

Impulsive temperament has long been considered as a risk factor for substance use disorders (SUD). Considering the heterogeneity of impulsivity, a biologically-based 2-factor model incorporating reward sensitivity and rash impulsiveness facets, has been proposed. Here we report how these two facets of impulsiveness could be associated with different aspects of dependent heroin use and associate...

Short duration impulsive noise is typically generated by a release of pressure (impulse) or a collision of solid objects (impact). In animal models these noises have been shown to be more damaging to the ear than continuous noise of equal energy (Hamernik and Henderson, 1974; Dunn et al., 1991; Hamernik et al., 1994). Impulsive noises are common in manufacturing, construction, public safety and...
