In this paper a hybrid passivity based and fuzzy type-2 controller for chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems is presented. The proposed control strategy is an appropriate choice to be implemented for the stabilization of chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems due to the energy considerations of the passivity based controller and the flexibility and capability of the fuzzy type-2 controller to deal with ...

Power system throughout the world is facing new challenges that may involve a wideband accuracy modeling of transmission lines. As high frequency phenomena are involved, displacement currents in the ground cease to be negligible and should be considered in the calculations. This work shows that the use of the so-called image approximations for the evaluation of the per-unit-length line paramete...

In two studies, we demonstrate that attitudes toward traditional sexual roles are linked with increased sexual passivity for women but decreased passivity for men. For both genders, sexual passivity predicts poor sexual functioning and satisfaction. Study 1 showed that endorsement of traditional sexual roles of male dominance and female passivity relates to greater sexual passivity among colleg...

Multipliers are often used to find conditions for the absolute stability of Lur'e systems. They can be used either in conjunction with passivity theory or within the more recent framework of integral quadratic constraints (IQCs). This seminar presents two equivalence results within multiplier theory. In the first part of the seminar, passivity with multipliers and IQC theory are compared. The p...

Sufficient conditions for passivity (positive realness) are obtained for continuous-time, linear, retarded, and neutral-type systems. A delay-dependent solution is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) by using a descriptor model transformation of the system and by applying Park’s inequality for bounding cross terms. A memoryless state-feedback solution is derived. Numerical examp...

Most programming languages have certain phrases (like expressions) which only read information from the state and certain others (like commands) which write information to the state. These are called passive and active phrases respectively. Semantic models which make these distinctions have been hard to find. For instance, most semantic models have expression denotations that (temporarily) chan...

In this paper, the problem of exponential passivity analysis for uncertain neural networks with time-varying delays is considered. By constructing new augmented Lyapunov– Krasovskii’s functionals and some novel analysis techniques, improved delay-dependent criteria for checking the exponential passivity of the neural networks are established. The proposed criteria are represented in terms of li...
