We consider two communication systems which are time-discrete and memoryless, both depend on a state, in terms of information-theoretic secure data transmission. The compound channel consists of a finite or infinite set of channels which is known to both the sender and the receiver, but unfortunately it is not known which channel is in use for any codeword transmission. In contrast the state of...

We study a multi-agent output regulation problem, where not all agents have access to the exosystem’s dynamics. We propose a distributed controller that solves the problem for linear, heterogeneous, and uncertain agent dynamics as well as time-varying directed networks. The distributed controller consists of two parts: (1) an exosystem generator that creates a local copy of the exosystem dynami...

The neuronal synchronous discharging may cause an epileptic seizure. Currently, most of the studies conducted to investigate the mechanism of epilepsy are based on EEGs or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) recorded during the ictal discharging or the resting-state, and few studies have probed into the dynamic patterns during the inter-ictal discharging that are much easier to record ...

This paper extends recent results on steganographic capacity. We derive capacity expressions for perfectly-secure steganographic systems. The warden may be passive, or active using a memoryless attack channel, or active using an arbitrarily varying channel. Neither encoder nor decoder know which channel was selected by the warden. In some cases, the steganographic constraint does not result in ...

In this cross-cultural study, we primarily aim to present research-based evidence to examine the main gender characteristics associated with socialization. Using the symbolic interaction theory and the socialization theory, this cross-cultuural analysis particularly explores the construction and representation of gender identity through educational systems. The fields of this stu...

in this paper, the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (mrac) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delay in interconnected term and input and state delays is studied. to compensate the effect of input delay indirectly, a smith predictor built on. to handle the effects of the time delays in input, the adaptive controller part includes two auxiliary dynamic f...

We consider a single-link multi-source network with FAST TCP sources. We adopt a continuous-time dynamic model for FAST TCP sources, and propose a static model to adequately describe the queuing delay dynamics at the link. The proposed model turns out to have a structure that reveals the time-varying network feedback delay, which allows us to analyze FAST TCP with due consideration of the time-...

The minimum probability of error achievable by random codes on the arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is investigated. New exponential error bounds are found and applied to the AVC with and without input and state constraints. Also considered is a simple subclass of random codes, called randomly modulated codes, in which encoding and decoding operations are separate from code randomization. A un...
