This present paper addresses impulsive consensus problem in directed networks of dynamic agents having communication delays. Based on impulsive control theory on delayed dynamical systems, a simple impulsive consensus protocol for such networks is proposed, and a generic criterion for solving average consensus problem is analytically derived. It is shown that global average consensus of a direc...

Regarding the importance of the prevention of hazards and adverse environmental impacts in industrial and populated areas such as southern parts of Tehran city, the response of impulsive period ground-supported tanks were assessed. Having considered the study area's soil properties, the response of ground-supported tanks was modelled. Regarding the soil properties of southern parts of Tehran, t...

Narrowband spikes are observed in solar flares for several decades. However, their exact origin is still discussed. To contribute to understanding of these spikes, we analyze the narrowband 800-2000 MHz range during impulsive phase November 7, 2013 flare. In radio spectrum, started with typical broadband clouds and then distribution frequencies changed into unique, very narrow bands having non-...

In the past years, impulsive control for a single system and impulsive synchronization between two systems have been extensively studied. However, investigation on impulsive control and synchronization of complex networks has just started. In these studies, a network is continuously coupled, and then is synchronized by using impulsive control strategy. In this paper, a new and different coupled...

Impulsive differential equations, which arise in physics, population dynamics, economics, and so forth, are important mathematical tools for providing a better understanding of many real-world models, we refer to [1–5] and the references therein. About the applications of the theory of impulsive differential equations to different areas, for example, see [6–15]. Boundary value problems (BVPs) f...

This paper is concerned with stabilization for a class of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy neural networks (TSFNNs) with time-varying delays. An impulsive control scheme is employed to stabilize a TSFNN. We firstly establish the model of TSFNNs by using fuzzy sets and fuzzy reasoning and propose the problem of impulsive stabilization for this model. Then, we present several stabilization conditions based on...

This study examined (1) the interrelationships among 5-HTTLPR genotype, perceived parental rejection, and impulsivity, and (2) meditational models in which perceived paternal/maternal rejection mediates the relationship between the 5-HTTLPR genotype and impulsive behaviour. Participants included 403 adults (152 males and 252 females, mean age = 24.20) who provided genetic data and a set of the ...

This study examined the effects of cooperative learning techniques (CLT) on vocabulary achievement of reflective/impulsive Iranian EFL Learners. From among 130 students at Fajr institute in Dehdasht, Kohkiloyeh and Boyer Ahmad Province, Iran, 90 participants were selected based on their performance on the Oxford Placement Test (OPT). The participants were then divided into two experimental grou...
