First, by static output feedback controller, the new sufficient conditions for static...

The paper addresses the problem of an output feedback guaranteed cost controller design for Networked Control Systems (NCSs) with time-delay and polytopic uncertainties. By constructing a new parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional and applying the free-weighting matrices technique, the parameter-dependent, delay-dependent design method will be obtained to synthesize PID controllers achieving a...

This note investigates the problem of decentralized guaranteed cost control for uncertain neutral large-scale interconnected systems. A novel scheme, viewing the interconnections with time-varying delays as effective information but not disturbances, is developed. Based on this scheme, a descriptor system approach is introduced to derive the robust stabilization criterion of uncertain neutral l...

© 2014 Retirement Income Industry Association® 55 Abstract Variable annuities (VAs) are among themost complex and controversial products in the investment universe. Although a fair amount of research regarding the merits of VAs with guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) riders has been published over the past decade, to date, few of these papers have been of practical usefulness in guid...
