there are two significant goals in teleoperation systems: stability and performance. this paper introduces an lmi-based robust control method for bilateral transparent teleoperation systems in presence of model mismatch. the uncertainties in time delay in communication channel, task environment and model parameters of master-slave systems is called model mismatch. the time delay in communicatio...

In this paper, a decentralized adaptive neural controller is proposed for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear, non-affine subsystems and unknown nonlinear time-delay interconnections. The stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed through Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability analysis. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approache...

This paper investigates the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delays in interconnected terms and state and input delays. The upper bounds of the interconnection terms are considered to be unknown. Time varying delays in the nonlinear interconnection terms are bounded and nonnegative continuous functions and thei...

Excessive voltage drops in power and ground (P&G) buses of CMOS VLSI circuits can severely degrade both design reliability and performance. Maximum current estimates are needed in the circuit to accurately determine the impact of these problems. In [1], a pattern-independent, linear time algorithm (iMax) is described that is very e ective in estimating the maximum current waveforms at various c...

The Elmore delay is the metric of choice for performancedriven design applications due to its simple, explicit form and ease with which sensitivity information can be calculated. However, for deep submicron technologies, the accuracy of the Elmore delay is insufficient. In this paper, we formulate a delay model using a provably stable two pole waveform response that provides a unique mapping be...
