Noise eeects such as power supply and crosstalk noise can signiicantly impact the performance of deep submicron designs. Existing timing analysis tecniques cannot capture the eeects of noise on the signal/cell delays. This is because these delay eeects are highly input pattern dependent. Therefore, the predicted circuit performance might not reeect the worst-case circuit delay. In this paper, w...

in this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is proposed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown discrete and distributed time-varying delays, and the proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the signs of the control gains.based on the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed. the main contributions of the paper...

in this paper, global robust stability of stochastic impulsive recurrent neural networks with time-varyingdelays which are represented by the takagi-sugeno (t-s) fuzzy models is considered. a novel linear matrix inequality (lmi)-based stability criterion is obtained by using lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of uncertain fuzzy stochastic impulsive recurrent neural...

This paper investigates the exponential stability of a class neutral inertial neural networks with multi-proportional delays and leakage delays. By utilizing Lyapunov theory, approach parametric variation, differential inequality technique, some criteria are acquired that can guarantee all solutions addressed system converge exponentially to equilibrium point. In particular, term, delays, incor...

The iron ore railway in northern Scandinavia is a single track line that stretches from the Gulf of Bothnia to the Norwegian Sea. Mixed traffic on a single-track railway makes the traffic sensitive and prone to disturbances. To improve punctuality and efficiency in the traffic flow, the link between disturbances and their impacts on train delays needs to be analysed and understood more precisel...

Delays and packet losses are undesirable from a control system perspective as they tend to adversely affect performance. Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are a class of control systems wherein control components exchange information using a shared communication channel. Delays and packet losses in the communication channels are usually random, thereby making the analysis and design of control l...

Binaural auditory neurons exhibit "best delays" (BDs): They are maximally activated at certain acoustic delays between sounds at the two ears and thereby signal spatial sound location. BDs arise from delays internal to the auditory system, but their source is controversial. According to the classic Jeffress model, they reflect pure time delays generated by differences in axonal length between t...

This paper presents an extensive statistical study and analysis of the effects of channel delays in the current (best-effort) Internet on underflow events in MPEG-4 video streaming. Two types of network delays are considered: end-to-end round-trip delays and delay jitter. Our data were collected in a seven-month real-time streaming experiment, which was conducted between a number of unicast dia...

This manuscript concerns robust stability analysis of discrete-time LTI systems with varying time delays. The stability problem is treated in the Integral Quadratic Constraint (IQC) framework. The novelty and main contribution of the manuscript is the integral quadratic constraint characterization of the discrete-time time-varying delay operator. The characterization enables the IQC analysis to...
