In this article, we investigate a novel anytime control algorithm for wireless networked with random dropouts. The controller computes sequences of tentative future commands using time-varying (Markovian) computational resources. sensor–controller and controller–actuator channel states are spatial- time-correlated, respectively, modeled as multistate Markov process. To compensate the effect pac...

To increase college access and reduce the burden of student loan debt, the US government has developed several new tuition and student loan policies. These include the newly proposed free community college plan and the recently enacted Pay As You Earn plan that makes student loan repayments contingent on earnings. I develop and estimate a dynamic life-cycle model of the decisions individuals ma...

Dropout is a phenomenon that unfortunately occurring worldwide and of increasing concern to authorities. It reality quality indicators in many models are affected by the number students who drop out school at higher levels. However, this not only reflected educational level, but also affects social personal development young people. The analysis dropout among Spaniards topic interest due reperc...

We consider a class of networked control systems (NCSs) where the plant has time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainties, the network only provides a limited number of simultaneous accesses for the sensors and actuators, and the packet dropouts occur randomly in the network. For this class of NCSs with uncertainties and access constraints as well as packet dropouts, we derive sufficient co...

We show that the natural pulsed behavior, in the form of sudden power dropouts, exhibited by semiconductor lasers subject to optical feedback can be entrained by the joint action of external noise and weak periodic driving. These power dropouts, which in the absence of forcing do not occur periodically, acquire the periodicity of the harmonic driving for an optimal amount of external noise, in ...
