A qualitative theory of two-dimensional quadratic-polynomial integrable dynamical systems (DSs) is constructed on the basis a discriminant criterion elaborated in paper. This enables one to pick up single parameter that makes it possible identify all feasible solution classes as well DS critical and singular points solutions. The integrability considered family established. Nine specific are id...

The theory of distributed detection is receiving a lot of attention. A common assumption used in previous studies is the conditional independence of the observations. In this paper, the optimization of local decision rules for distributed detection networks with correlated observations is considered. We focus on presenting the detection theory for parallel distributed detection networks with fi...
