This paper presents a novel Fuzzy Multiple Reference Model Adaptive Controller (FMRMAC) for systems that are multi modal in nature and show scheduled ‘Jumps’ in their operation. The proposed scheme incorporates a fuzzy logic switching method in the Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) framework without any explicit identifier. The fuzzy switching scheme produces a ‘soft’ way of model generat...

Abstract: This paper studies the pricing of forward starting options under regime switching jump diffusion models. We suppose that a market economy has only two states, one is a stable state, the other is a high volatility state. The dynamics of a risky asset is modeled by a geometry Brownian motion when the market state is stable, otherwise, it follows a jump diffusion model. We propose two ty...

In this work a buck converter model for multidomain simulations is proposed and compared with a stateof-the-art buck converter model. In the proposed model no switching events are calculated. By avoiding the computation of the switching events in power electronic models the processing time of multi-domain simulations can be decreased significantly. The proposed model calculates any operation po...

In this paper, we report a testbed employing optical burst switching technology. The network model and node architecture are introduced. The key design issues, including burst format, burst assembly and channel scheduling, are discussed.

In MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) over optical networks, both the optical level and the MPLS level fault recovery can be considered. Generally, a more flexible path arrangement can be realized by the MPLS level recovery, while fast recovery can be achieved by the optical level recovery. When the optical level recovery is adopted, only normal traffic is carried through the working lightpa...

The purpose of this paper is to study the performance of integrating voice and data services over PACS systems in a multicarrier environment. Several time-slot allocation schemes are proposed. With continuous-time Markov model, the performance can be evaluated. The results show that while using one system broadcast channel (SBC), the blocking rate of circuit mode services and system throughput ...

A second-moment regime-switching regression, which considers not only a switching intercept and a switching slope, but a switching error variance is applied to investigate the impacts of the exchange rate uncertainty (ERU) on the corporate values (CVs) for the industries concerned in Taiwan. Two different regimes of a strong-impact and a weak-impact are identified. However, the dominant power v...

Abstract: This paper deals with the design problem of reliable H� fuzzy switching controllers for continuoustime nonlinear systems with different actuator fault mode. First, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear system. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a faulty switched system is constructed to model various classes of faulty nonlinear systems. The objective is...

This paper presents a fuzzy logic approach for switching multiple reference models, within the Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) framework, in response to major changes in the plant operating conditions. Following a rule base, the fuzzy switching scheme effectively monitors changes in operating conditions or such drastic changes in plant. A fuzzy inference engine then fires appropriate ru...

Post adoptive IT use is a hot research stream in information systems field, including continuance behaviours and switching behaviours. While there are a great number of studies on users’ intentions or behaviors for diversified information systems, previous post adoptive IT studies pay relatively less attention on users’ switching behaviors. Hence, we know little about this phenomenon and trigge...
