This paper deals with the class of continuous-time Descriptor Systems with continuous or differentiable uniformly bounded time-varying state delays. An improved delay-dependent stability and stabilization conditions are established without using model transformation and bounding technique for cross terms. Linear matrix inequality (LMI)based algorithm to design a state feedback control that stab...

This paper considers the problems of stability, stabilization and H∞ control via memoryless state feedback for uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems with mode-dependent time delays. Based on linear matrix inequalities, delay-dependent solutions are obtained by using a descriptor model transformation of the system and by applying a new bounding technique for cross terms. Numerica...

Swarm stability is concerned for descriptor compartmental networks with linear time-invariant protocol. Compartmental network is a specific type of dynamical multi-agent system. Necessary and sufficient conditions for both consensus and critical swarm stability are presented, which require a joint matching between the interactive dynamics of nearest neighboring vertices and the Laplacian spectr...

Inductive generalization is ubiquitous in human cognition; however, the factors underpinning this ability early in development remain contested. The present study was designed to (1) test the predictions of the naïve theory and a similarity-based account and (2) examine the mechanism by which labels promote induction. In Experiment 1, 3- to 5-year-old children made inferences about highly famil...

In this paper a color descriptor designed for bleeding detection in endoscopic images is proposed. The development of the algorithm was carried out on a representative training set of 36 images of bleeding and 25 clear images. Another 38 bleeding and 26 normal images were used in the final stage as a test set. All of the considered images were extracted from separate endoscopic examinations. Th...

We consider model order reduction of bilinear descriptor systems using an interpolatory projection framework. Such nonlinear descriptor systems can be represented by a series of generalized linear descriptor systems (also called subsystems) by utilizing the Volterra-Wiener approach [22]. Standard projection techniques for bilinear systems utilize the generalized transfer function of these subsy...
