Based on the upper-triangular Hessenberg forms for descriptor linear systems and a method for right coprime factorization of descriptor linear systems using matrix elementary transformations, a simple, neat and numerically stable iterative formula for right coprime factorization of a regular singleinput descriptor linear system is proposed. This iterative formula gives directly the coefficients...

The purpose of this paper is to derive conditions for absolute stability as well as existence of solutions for multivariable Lur’e-type feedback systems whose linear part is expressed by a descriptor system. The nonlinearities are uncertain and satisfy multivariable sector conditions, or a part of the nonlinearities satisfies a norm bounded condition. Thus, the systems can be refered to as mult...

In this paper, the observation problem for the descriptor systems with disturbances is studied. It is assumed that the disturbances and their first order derivatives are bounded, where the upper and lower bounds are unknown. First, the formulated descriptor system is decomposed into a dynamical system and an algebraic equation. The dynamical system is the relation among a part of the descriptor...

In interest point based human action recognition, local descriptors are used to represent information in the neighbourhood around each extracted space-time interest point. The performance of the action recognition systems highly depends on the invariance and distinctiveness of the local spatiotemporal descriptor adopted. In this paper, we propose a new descriptor based on the Wavelet Transform ...

In this paper a contour matching based face recognition system is proposed, which uses “Fourier Descriptor of contour” for identification of faces. The feasibility of using contour and FD’s matching for human face identification is presented through experiment. The Fourier descriptor is used to describe the boundary of a shape in 2 dimensional space.The advantage of using the Fourier descriptor...

Linear periodic descriptor systems represent a broad class of time evolutionary processes in micro-electronics and circuit simulation in particular. In this paper we consider discrete-time linear periodic descriptor systems and study the concepts of periodic reachability and observability of the systems based on earlier ideas of Chu et al. [1]. We define reachability and observability Gramians ...

In this paper, we establish a model reduction technique for periodic discrete-time descriptor systems exploiting the generalized inverses of the periodic singular matrix pairs associated with the systems. We compute the generalized inverses of periodic singular matrix pairs to implement a structure preserving iterative method for the solution of the periodic projected Lyapunov equations that ar...

Article history: Received: 19.06.2014. Received in revised form: 06.11.2014. Accepted: 11.11.2014. This paper addresses the robust model predictive control (MPC) for a class of time delay descriptor systems with linear fractional uncertainty and input constrains. The systems are transferred to the piecewise continuous descriptor systems and a piecewise constant control sequence is calculated by...

Concept-based video retrieval is a developing area of current multimedia content analysis research. The use of spatio-temporal descriptors in content-based video retrieval has always seemed like a promising way to bridge the semantic gap problem in ways that typical visual retrieval methods cannot. In this paper we propose a spatio-temporal descriptor called ST-MP7EH which can address some of t...
