The discretized Lyapunov functional method is extended to linear systems with both, discrete and distributed delays, and to H1 control. The coefficients associated with the distributed delay are assumed to be piecewise constant. A new Bounded Real Lemma (BRL) is derived in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) via descriptor approach. In three numerical examples considered for retarded typ...

in order to study the morphological, phenological and yield characteristics of 70 desi chickpea genotypes, a trial was conducted on 2007 in research farm of agriculture faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad. in this study, 70 desi chickpea genotypes from ferdowsi university of mashhad seed bank, were planted in plots without replication including one to four planting rows at maximum length ...

a common method to determine the order of minimal realization of a continuous linear time invariant descriptor system is to decompose it into slow and fast subsystems using the weierstrass canonical form. the weierstrass decomposition should be avoided because it is generally an ill-conditioned problem that requires many complex calculations especially for high-dimensional systems. the present ...

Component-based systems are becoming prevalent at a rapid pace. With the growing demand for components, there arises a need for adequate component testing procedures. The component testing process at user end suffers with the unavailability of source code, which precludes extrapolating standard testing approaches. Effective Object Oriented (OO) component testing techniques require structural an...

A method for analysis and synthesis of recurrent discrete time neural networks with robust chaotic behavior is presented. Using this method, a new nonlinear activation function called saturated modulus was found to be the most efficient in order to get chaos even in small sizes neural networks. Based on weight space exploring using a searching strategy closely related with genetic algorithms, s...

The vast amount of music available electronically presents considerable challenges for information retrieval. There is a need to annotate music items with descriptors in order to facilitate retrieval. In this paper we present a process for determining the music genre of an item using the Discrete Wavelet Transform and a round -robin classification technique. The wavelet transform is used to ext...

In this paper we introduce the DCT-GIST image representation model which is useful to summarize the context of the scene. The proposed image descriptor addresses the problem of real-time scene context classification on devices with limited memory and low computational resources (e.g., mobile and other single sensor devices such as wearable cameras). Images are holistically represented starting ...
