In this paper, the non-fragile state estimation problem is investigated for a class of discrete-time neural networks subject to Markovian jumping parameters and time delays. In terms of a Markov chain, the mode switching phenomenon at different times is considered in both the parameters and the discrete delays of the neural networks. To account for the possible gain variations occurring in the ...

We consider the problem of state-feedback stabilization for multi-channel systems in the differential-game theoretic framework where the class of admissible strategies for the players is induced from a solution set of the individual objective functions that are associated with certain dissipativity inequality properties. In such a framework, we characterize the feedback Nash equilibria over an ...

We study the stability of quantum states of macroscopic systems of finite volume V. By using both the locality and huge degrees of freedom, we show the following: (i) If square fluctuation of every additive operator is O(V) or less for a pure state, then it is not fragile for any weak classical noises or weak perturbations from environments. (ii) If square fluctuation of some additive operator ...

This paper focuses on the non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of T-S fuzzy time-varying delay systems with local bilinear models. The objective is to design a non-fragile guaranteed cost state feedback controller via the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) approach such that the closed-loop system is delay-dependent asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance i...

This paper describes the synthesis of non-fragile or resilient regulators for linear systems. A general framework for fragility is described using state-space methodologies, and the LQ/H 2 static state-feedback problem is examined in detail. We discuss the multiplicative structured uncertainties case, and propose remedies of the fragility problem using an optimization programming framework via ...

The current debates in the US over the constitutionality of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s mandate that individuals purchase health insurance, and in England about the government’s plans to radically reform the National Health Service, emphasize the importance of health systems and of the quality of care they provide to entire nations. While health care systems are necess...
