time series forecasting is an active research area that has drawn considerable attention for applications in a variety of areas. forecasting accuracy is one of the most important features of forecasting models. nowadays, despite the numerous time series forecasting models which have been proposed in several past decades, it is widely recognized that financial markets are extremely difficult to ...

Nonlinear contraction theory allows surprisingly simple analysis of synchronisation phenomena in distributed networks of coupled nonlinear elements. The key idea is the construction of a virtual contracting system whose particular solutions include the individual subsystems’ states. We also study the role, in both nature and system design, of co-existing “power” leaders, to which the networks s...

Our focus in this work is to investigate an efficient state estimation scheme for a singularly perturbed stochastic hybrid system. As stochastic hybrid systems have been used recently in diverse areas, the importance of correct and efficient estimation of such systems cannot be overemphasized. The framework of nonlinear filtering provides a suitable ground for on-line estimation. With the help ...

This paper presents an approach to defining distances between nonlinear and hybrid dynamical systems based on formal power series theory. The main idea is that the input-output behavior of a wide range of dynamical systems can be encoded by rational formal power series. Hence, a natural distance between dynamical systems is the distance between the formal power series encoding their input-outpu...

The paper investigates the realization problem for a class of analytic nonlinear hybrid systems without autonomous switching. Similarly to the classical nonlinear realization theory the realization problem for hybrid systems is translated to a formal realization problem of a class of abstract systems defined on rings of formal power series. Necessary conditions are presented for existence of a ...

In this paper, a hub covering location problem is considered. Hubs, which are the most congested part of a network, are modeled as M/M/C queuing system and located in placeswhere the entrance flows are more than a predetermined value.A fuzzy constraint is considered in order to limit the transportation time between all origin-destination pairs in the network.On modeling, a nonlinear mathematica...

The authors have obtained the following results: 1 the definition of uniformly closed countable family of nonlinear mappings, 2 strong convergence theorem by the monotone hybrid algorithm for two countable families of hemirelatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space with new method of proof, 3 two examples of uniformly closed countable families of nonlinear mappings and applications, 4 an...

Exponential stability of hybrid systems using a Lyapunov approach is considered in this paper. The continuous part of the hybrid system is described by nonlinear differential equations that depend on a discrete state. The discrete state changes when certain switch sets are reached. By using piecewise quadratic forms of the Lyapunov function candidates, it is shown how the stability conditions c...

A numerical method to solve nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of second kind is presented in this work. The method is based upon hybrid function approximate. The properties of hybrid of block-pulse functions and Taylor series are presented and are utilized to reduce the computation of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations to a system of algebraic equations. Some numerical examples are selec...
