In this paper, the problem of delay dependent robust asymptotically stable for uncertain linear time-variant system with multiple delays is investigated. A new delay-dependent stability sufficient condition is given by using the Lyapunov method, linear matrix inequality (LMI), parameterized first-order model transformation technique and transformation of the interval uncertainty in to the norm ...

This article derives the distribution of random matrix X associated with the transformation Y = X*X, such that Y has a Riesz distribution for real normed division algebras. Two versions of this distributions are proposed and some of their properties are studied.

For statistical inferences that involve covariance matrices, it is desirable to obtain an accurate covariance matrix estimate with a well-structured eigen-system. We propose to estimate the covariance matrix through its matrix logarithm based on an approximate log-likelihood function. We develop a generalization of the Leonard and Hsu (1992) log-likelihood approximation that no longer requires ...
