Motivated by the widespread use of networked and embedded control systems, an algorithm for stability analysis is proposed for sampled-data feedback control systems with uncertainly time-varying sampling intervals. The output feedback case with a dynamic compensator is considered. The algorithm is based on the robustness of related discrete-time systems against perturbation caused by the variat...

The maximum distance bound for ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with energies above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmich cutoff ∼ 10 eV relaxes significantly if there is some mechanism that forces UHECR to propagate in discrete intervals, rather than continuously, through intergalactic space. In particular, intervals as small as a femtometer relax the bound for protons by an order of magnitude and ...

Given a set I of n intervals, a stabbing query consists of a point q and asks for all intervals in I that contain q. The Interval Stabbing Problem is to find a data structure that can handle stabbing queries efficiently. We propose a new, simple and optimal approach for different kinds of interval stabbing problems in a static setting where the query points and interval ends are in {1, . . . , ...

This paper presents a new random weighting method for estimation of one-sided confidence intervals in discrete distributions. It establishes random weighting estimations for the Wald and Score intervals. Based on this, a theorem of coverage probability is rigorously proved by using the Edgeworth expansion for random weighting estimation of the Wald interval. Experimental results demonstrate tha...

In this paper, a single-product, single-machine system under Markovian deterioration of machine condition and demand uncertainty is studied.  The objective is to find the optimal intervals for inspection and preventive maintenance activities in a condition-based maintenance planning with discrete monitoring framework. At first, a stochastic dynamic programming model whose state variable is the ...

We analyze the spectrum of a discrete Schrödinger operator with potential given by periodic variant Anderson model. In order to do so, we study uniform hyperbolicity cocycle generated [Formula: see text] transfer matrices. specific case an alternating sequence random values, show that almost sure consists at most 4 intervals.

We propose a simple, incentive compatible procedure based on binarized linear scoring rules to elicit beliefs about real-valued outcomes - multiple point predictions . Simultaneously eliciting with incentives reveals the subjective probability distribution without pre-defined intervals or probabilistic statements. show that approach is theoretically as robust existing methods, while adapting fl...

In this paper we obtain asymptotic estimates for pairs of closed geodesics on negatively curved manifolds, the differences of whose lengths lie in a prescribed family of shrinking intervals, were the geodesics are ordered with respect to a discrete length. In certain cases, this discrete length can be taken to be the word length with respect to a set of generators for the fundamental group.

In this paper we consider the Dirichlet problem for a discrete anisotropic equation with some function α , a nonlinear term f , and a numerical parameter λ : ∆ ( α (k) |∆u(k − 1)|p(k−1)−2∆u(k − 1) ) + λf(k, u(k)) = 0, k ∈ [1, T ] . We derive the intervals of a numerical parameter λ for which the considered BVP has at least 1, exactly 1, or at least 2 positive solutions. Some useful discrete ine...
