This paper extends the idea of switching T-S fuzzy systems with linear consequent parts to nonlinear ones. Each nonlinear subsystem is exactly represented by a T-S fuzzy system with Lure’ type consequent parts, which allows to model and control wider classes of switching systems and also reduce the computation burden of control synthesis. With the use of a switching fuzzy Lyapunov function, the...

A novel frequency domain criterion is presented for theabsolute stability of Lure type single-input single-output discrete-timesystems with slope-restricted nonlinearity.

This study investigates and compares the acoustic signatures of a traditional wire-cable-pulled lure system two alternative battery-operated systems jointly developed by Covey Associates Pty. Ltd. Steriline to eliminate hazardous steel-wire cable make sport greyhound racing safer for greyhounds, participants spectators. The acoustical measurements these three were conducted at Murray Bridge tra...

Sterile mass-reared Mexican fruit flies, Anastrepha ludens (Loew), were trapped in a citrus orchard by using multilure traps and cylindrical sticky traps baited with Advanced Pheromone Technologies Anastrepha fruit fly (AFF) lures or Suterra BioLure two-component (ammonium acetate and putrescine) MFF lures (BioLures). The cylinder trap/AFF lure combination was the best trap over the first 6 wk,...

Field studies in citrus were conducted to compare the following as attractants for the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew): torula yeast-borax; propylene glycol (10%); a two-component lure consisting of ammonium acetate and putrescine; a two-component lure consisting of ammonium bicarbonate and putrescine; and a three-component lure consisting of ammonium bicarbonate, methylamine hy...

This paper addresses the problem of stability analysis for a given class of nonlinear systems resulting from the connection of a linear systemwith an isolated backlash operator. Constructive conditions based on LMIs to ensure closed-loop stability are proposed by using some suitable Lyapunov functionals with quadratic terms and Lure type terms, and generalized sector conditions. Additionally, t...
