We review research on the ̄uency heuristic as a basis for the subjective experience of familiarity. Then, we explore the links between the construct of ̄uency and the automatic versus consciously controlled memory processes that are estimated using the process dissociation procedure, and the phenomenological experiences studied using ``Remember'' and ``Know'' judgements. Although the ̄uency tha...

Global exponential stability is a desirable property for dynamic systems. This paper studies the global exponential stability of several existing recurrent neural networks for solving linear programming problems, convex programming problems with interval constraints, convex programming problems with nonlinear constraints, and monotone variational inequalities. In contrast to the existing result...

In this paper, an efficient method is presented to control the attitude of a satellite with ON-OFF actuator. The main objective of this novel method is to control the amplitude of the limit cycle which commonly appears in the steady state of such systems; and at the same time by consideration of real actuator constraints, reduce the fuel consumption of system. The Proposed method is a combinati...

In this paper, an optimal stable algorithm is presented for members of a robots swarm moving toward a target. Equations of motion of the swarm are based on Lagrangian energy equations. Regarding of similar research On the design of swarm motion algorithm, an equation of motion considered constraints to guarantee no collision between the members and the members and obstacles along the motion pat...

This note presents a stability condition for timevariant uncertain discrete delay systems, where the uncertainty set is nite and constraints on the allowable sequences of system matrices are imposed. The proposed stability condition is necessary and suÆcient and can be viewed as a modi ed combination of two existing conditions for time-variant systems with polytopic uncertainties. The introduce...

Rational choice when preferences are not required to be transitive and complete has been discussed in the literature for years. In this article transitivity and completeness of the preference relation is also not assumed. It will be shown that nevertheless the existence of a competitive equilibrium can be proven when those properties are replaced by a domination property which allows that there...

We present a comprehensive study of the use of value precedence constraints to break value symmetry. We first give a simple encoding of value precedence into ternary constraints that is both efficient and effective at breaking symmetry. We then extend value precedence to deal with a number of generalizations like wreath value and partial interchangeability. We also show that value precedence is...

Covering arrays have been studied for their applications to drug screening and software and hardware testing. In this paper, we model the problem as a constraint program. Our proposed models exploit non-binary (global) constraints, redundant modelling, channelling constraints, and symmetry breaking constraints. Our initial experiments show that with our best integrated model, we are able to eit...

Quark-meson duality for two-point functions of vector and axial-vector QCD currents is investigated in the large-Nc approximation. We find that the joint constraints of duality and chiral symmetry imply degeneracy of excited vector and axial-vector mesons in the large-Nc limit. We compare model-independent constraints with expectations based on the VenezianoLovelace-Shapiro string model. Severa...
