This paper is concerned with the decentralized stabilization problem for a class of uncertain large-scale systems with Markovian jump parameters. The controllers use local subsystem states and neighboring mode information to generate local control inputs. A sufficient condition involving rank constrained linear matrix inequalities is proposed for the design of such controllers. A numerical exam...

Under an appropriate ISS condition, it is shown that global adaptive stabilization of a class of cascade systems with nonlinear parameterization is achievable by non-Lipschitz continuous partial-state adaptive regulator. This result complements the earlier work [10] on adaptive control of uncertain nonlinear systems with uncontrollable unstable linearization, which are impossible to be dealt wi...

Left atrial appendage ostial stenosis with or without previous surgicalor catheter-based intervention has been previously described [1-5]. The clinical implications of this anomaly are uncertain because it’s a very rare condition given the small number of cases reported. Herein, we report a case of left atrial appendage ostial stenosis with typical atrial flutter (AFL) and asymmetric septal hyp...

The guaranteed cost control problem of the decentralized robust control for nonlinear large– scale uncertain delay systems under controller gain perturbations is considered. Sufficient condition for the existence of the guaranteed cost control is given in terms of the linear matrix inequality (LMI). It is shown that the decentralized local state feedback controllers can be obtained by solving t...

Based on the recent result given in Park [19], a further result for global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for a class of uncertain neural networks with discrete and distributed delays is investigated. A stability condition is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved easily by various convex optimization algorithms. Mathematics Subject Classificat...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria are increasingly recognized as causes of chronic pulmonary disease. Treatment decisions are guided by the clinical presentation, microbial isolate, and condition of the patient. Management may include antibiotic therapy, surgical resection, or observation. Definitive trials are lacking, and optimum management remains uncertain.

The condition of the used products acquired by remanufacturing firms often varies widely. A firm can manage this variation by acquiring a quantity of used items that exceeds demand, enabling it to remanufacture a subset of the acquired items in the best condition. As more excess items are acquired, the firm can increase its selectivity and lower its remanufacturing costs. In this paper, we exam...

 We consider a generalization of the classical quadratic assignment problem, where coordinates of locations are uncertain and only upper and lower bounds are known for each coordinate. We develop a mixed integer linear programming model as a robust counterpart of the proposed uncertain model. A key challenge is that, since the uncertain model involves nonlinear objective function of the ...
