This paper proposes a method to simplify a computational model from logistic regression for clinical use without computer. The model was built using human interpreted featrues including some BI-RADS standardized features for diagnosing the malignant masses. It was compared with the diagnosis using only assessment categorization from BI-RADS. The research aims at assisting radiologists to diagno...

We propose a distributed adaptive fuzzy iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm to deal with coordination control problems in leader-following multi-agent systems in which each follower agent has unknown dynamics and a non-repeatable input disturbance. The ILC protocols are designed with distributed initial-state learning and it is not necessary to fix the initial value at the beginning of e...

We investigate the solvability of the reverse Stackelberg game. Here, a leader player acts first by presenting a leader function that maps the follower decision space into the leader decision space. Subsequently, the follower acts by determining his optimal decision variable. Such a game setting can be adopted within a multi-level optimization approach for large-scale control problems like road...

In this paper we propose exact solution methods for a bilevel uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with backlogs. This is an extension of the classical uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with backlogs, in which two autonomous and self-interested decision makers constitute a twoechelon supply chain. The leader buys items from the follower in order to meet external demand at lowest cost. The follower a...

This paper addresses the problem of on-board estimation of the state and/or the velocity components of an unknown leader by open-loop control of a single camera installed on the follower aircraft. Unlike the conventional pan-tilt gimbal, a custom-built gimbal is assumed that permits translational movement of the camera. The only information about the unknown leader is deduced from its bearing a...

In this paper, a new approach to enhance the bandwidth of flipped voltage follower is explored. The proposed approach is based on gate-body driven technique. This technique boosts the transconductance in a MOS transistor as both gate and body/bulk terminals are tied together and used as signal input. This novel technique appears as a good solution to merge the advantages of gate-driven and bulk...

This paper considers the containment control problem for multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics and multiple leaders whose control inputs are possibly nonzero and time varying. Based on the relative states of neighboring agents, a distributed static continuous controller is designed, under which the containment error is uniformly ultimately bounded and the upper bound of the containme...

The problem of computing the strategy to commit to has been widely investigated in the scientific literature for the case where a single follower is present. In the multi-follower setting though, results are only sporadic. In this paper, we address the multi-follower case for normal-form games, assuming that, after observing the leader’s commitment, the followers play pure strategies and reach ...

The imbalance between accuracy and computational cost is a defect in track association. In response to the defect, the track association problem is transformed into an on-line clustering problem with constraints, and a novel track association algorithm is proposed based on Leader-Follower online clustering. In the algorithm, we take a track as a Leader or a Follower based on its type and make F...

The function of the honey bee tremble dance and how it attracts signal receivers is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that tremble followers and waggle followers exhibit the same dance-following behavior. If correct, this could unify our understanding of dance following, provide insight into dance information transfer, and offer a way to identify the signal receivers of tremble dance ...
