We construct delay-compensating input-to-state stabilizing feedback controllers for a class of nonlinear control systems that include bilinear have pointwise delays in their inputs. Our new approach delay compensation does not require constructing or estimating distributed terms the formulas laws. allow arbitrarily long constant input delays. illustrate our findings power system example.

The nodes for the sorting network only need buuers of length 1 and only 1 multiplexer. They have basic costs S A = 1928 and S S = 4104. The network nodes for the Fluent Machine have width 76 for the forward and the backward network. Thus they have basic costs ~ N A = 3104 and ~ N S = 8808. If we reduce the network nodes of design D1 to design an EREW PRAM, we spare the costs for the comparator ...

We give an explicit formula for the general solution of a one dimensional linear delay differential equation with multiple delays, which are integer multiples of the smallest delay. For an equation of this class with two delays, we derive two equations with single delays, whose stability is sufficient for the stability of the equation with two delays. This presents a new approach to the study o...

Delays between contrast agent (CA) arrival at the site of vascular input function (VIF) sampling and the tissue of interest affect dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI pharmacokinetic modelling. We investigate effects of altering VIF CA bolus arrival delays on liver DCE MRI perfusion parameters, propose an alternative approach to estimating delays and evaluate reproducibility. Thirteen healthy v...

It is well known that some XML elements correspond to objects (in the sense of object-orientation) and others do not. The question we consider in this paper is what benefits we can derive from paying attention to such object semantics, particularly for the problem of keyword queries. Keyword queries against XML data have been studied extensively in recent years, with several lowest-common-ances...

This article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (MPC) of a chemical plant. A combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process with time delays.  An optimization procedure for a neural MPC algorithm based on this model is then developed. T...

This paper addresses attitude coordination control for spacecraft formation with multiple delays. A distributed angular velocity input law is firstly constructed for attitude synchronization and tracking under multiple communication delays. Introducing virtual auxiliary systems makes it possible to integrate the angular velocity input law with the true true control torque, and asymptotic stabil...

In this paper, we investigate a class of fuzzy CohenGrossberg neural networks with time delays and impulsive effects. By virtue of stochastic analysis, Halanay inequality for stochastic differential equations, we find sufficient conditions for the global exponential square-mean synchronization of the FCGNNs under noise perturbation. In particular, the traditional assumption on the differentiabi...
