This chapter focuses on the stability analysis problem for a class of continuous-time switched time-delay systems modelled by delay differential equations under arbitrary switching. Then, a transformation under the arrow form is employed. Indeed, by using a constructed Lyapunov function, the aggregation techniques, the Kotelyanski lemma associated with the M-matrix properties, new delay-depende...

On-chip parasitic inductance inherent to the power supply rails has become significant in high speed digital circuits. Therefore, current surges result in voltage fluctuations within the power distribution networks, creating delay uncertainty. On-chip simultaneous switching noise should therefore be considered when estimating the propagation delay of a CMOS logic gate in high speed synchronous ...

An effective and reliable fast braking system for three-phase induction motor designed with the combinations of two or more conventional braking methods are discussed in this paper. A series of experiments were conducted in order to find out the speed range at which the most effective and efficient braking occurs corresponding to each conventional braking method and also to determine the minimu...

LSR(Label Switching Router)s in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks map arriving IP flows into some labels on Layer 2 switching fabric and establish LSP(Label Switching Path)s. By using LSPs, LSRs can not only transmit IP packets fast with cut-through mechanism, but also solve traffic engineering issue to maximize resource utilization in the whole MPLS networks. So far, we have analyz...

where { fα(.) : α ∈ Ω}, is a family of functions that is parameterized by some index set Ω, and α(·) ∈ Ω depending on the system state in each time is a switching rule/signal. The set Ω is typically a finite set. Switched systems arise in many practical models in manufacturing, communication networks, automotive engine control, chemical processes, and so on; see for example (D. Liberzon, 2003; ...

Switching system is very important in the fields of industrial manufacture, chemical process, intelligent control, which have attracted much attention in recent years. It is well known that the phenomenon of time delay and nonlinear disturbance exist in the actual switching system, so the research on nonlinear time delay switched systems has great theoretical significance and practical value. I...

In the ubiquitous environment, users can choose one of the devices according to their necessity and situation. Because it is very cumbersome to switch I/O device manually, middleware is made to do this work. However, seamless switching is not possible for environments in which middleware is not installed or application programs which do not run on middleware. We could resolve this problem by si...

This paper concerns the asynchronous stabilization problem of switched singular systems with interval time-varying delays. In ideal cases, the stabilizing controller is designed under the assumption that the switching times between the system and the controller are exactly the same. In fact, there are time-delays in the switching signal of the controller, which results in asynchronous switching...

This paper investigates performance evaluation of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching systems: Private Branch Exchanges (PBX), switches and cross-connects. The performance evaluation of ATM switching systems is not as straightforward as one might expect. This is due to the fact that performance can be seen from different angles. The measurements presented in this paper include: throughpu...

In this paper, we consider multi-agent H∞ consensus control problems with external disturbance under directed switching topologies. Both switching networks with and without time-delay are taken into consideration. By the model transformation, the multi-agent H∞ control problem is converted into the switching linear system H∞ control problem with special structure. Based on graph theory and comm...
