the paper is concerned with robust stability criteria for takagi- sugeno (t-s) fuzzy systems with distributed delays and time delay in the leakage term. by exploiting a model transformation, the system is converted to one of the neutral delay system. global robust stability result is proposed by a new lyapunov-krasovskii functional which takes into account the range of delay and by making use o...

although extensive experimental work has been carried out during the last several years, experimental reaction rate constants are available only for hundreds of compounds. therefore, it is useful to develop a theoretical prediction method, which can be used to obtain estimates of the necessary kinetic parameters. one of the most successful approaches to predict chemical properties starting only...

this paper is pertained with the problem of admissibility analysis of uncertain discrete-time nonlinear singular systems by adopting the state-space takagi-sugeno fuzzy model with time-delays and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. lyapunov krasovskii functionals are constructed to obtain delay-dependent stability condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which is dependent on the low...

In this paper we aim to measure and to explain the frontier total factor productivity (TFP) growth in Tunisia over the period 1983-1996. We do not measure TFP growth by the conventional Solow residual. Instead we define TFP growth as the shift of the economy's production frontier, which we obtain year by year by solving a linear program, a sort of aggregate DEA analysis. We then decompose this ...
