This study focuses on event-triggered control of nonlinear discrete-time systems with time delays. Based a Lyapunov-Krasovskii type input-to-state stability result, we propose novel algorithm that works as follows. The inputs are updated only when certain measurement error surpasses dynamical threshold depending both the system states and evolution time. Sufficient conditions established to ens...

Surgical suits allocate a large amount of expenses to hospitals; on the other hand, they constitute a huge part of hospital revenues. Patient flow optimization in a surgical suite by omitting or reducing bottlenecks which cause loss of time is one of the key solutions in minimizing the patients’ length of stay[1] (LOS) in the system, lowering the expenses, increasing efficiency, and also enhanc...

The Web initially emerged as an “antidote” to accumulated scientific knowledge since it enables global representation and communication with minimum costs. Its gigantic scale and interdependence incommode our ability to find relevant information and develop trustworthy contexts. It is time for science to compensate by providing an epistemological “antidote” to Web issues. Philosophy should be i...

This article studies the event-triggered control problem of general nonlinear systems with time delay. A novel event-triggering scheme is presented two tunable design parameters, based on a Lyapunov functional result for input-to-state stability time-delay systems. The proposed algorithm guarantees resulting closed-loop to be globally asymptotically stable, uniformly bounded, and/or attractive ...
