In this paper, stability analysis for a class of nonlinear time delay system is done. A state space representation of the class of system under consideration is used and a transformation is carried out to represent the system by an arrow form matrix. Taking advantage of this representation and applying the Kotelyanski lemma in combination with properties of M-matrices, some new sufficient stabi...

In this paper the D-BMAP/G/1 queue is considered. The goal is to derive an explicit expression for the transform of the queueing delay of the nth arriving customer, based on a transient analysis. While deriving this transform, intermediate results such as an explicit expression for the transform of the probability of having an empty system at the nth departure, are also obtained. These results ...

School improvement policies converge on urban public schools in ways that paradoxically compromise school improvement—a challenge some have called a heightened state of policy incoherence (Fuhrman, 1993). These schools face a barrage of demands from various sources including federal and state governments, local school boards, unions, and community groups—these demands focus on numerous aspects ...

The e!ect of interconnect coupling capacitance on the transient characteristics of a CMOS logic gate strongly depends upon the signal activity. A transient analysis of CMOS logic gates driving two and three coupled resistive}capacitive interconnect lines is presented in this paper for di!erent signal combinations. Analytical expressions characterizing the output voltage and the propagation dela...

Yann Le Cun AT&T Bell Laboratories 101 Crawford Corner Rd Holmdel, NJ 07733 The backpropagation algorithm can be used for both recognition and generation of time trajectories. When used as a recognizer, it has been shown that the performance of a network can be greatly improved by adding structure to the architecture. The same is true in trajectory generation. In particular a new architecture c...

This paper presents an analytical model of the aircraft departure process at an airport. The modeling procedure includes the estimation of unimpeded taxi-out time distributions, and the development of a queuing model of the departure runway system based on the transient analysis of D(t)/Ek(t)/1 queuing systems. The parameters of the runway service process are estimated using operational data. U...
