On account of the in...

Failure of the quay walls due to earthquakes results in severe economic loss. Because of hazards threatening such inexpensive nodes of national and international transportation networks, seismic design of quay walls is still an evolving topic in marine structural engineering. This study investigates the sensitivity of the gravity-type quay wall stability respect to uncertain soil and seismic pr...

Uncertain differential equation is a type of differential equation driven by Liu process. So far, concepts of stability and stability in mean for uncertain differential equations have been proposed. This paper aims at providing a concept of almost sure stability for uncertain differential equation. A sufficient condition is given for an uncertain differential equation being almost surely stable...

Uncertain delay differential equation is a type of functional differential equations driven by canonical process. This paper presents a method to solve an uncertain delay differential equation, and proves an existence and uniqueness theorem of solution for uncertain delay differential equations under Lipschitz condition and linear growth condition by Banach fixed point theorem.

When the process is highly uncertain, even linear minimum phase systems must sacrifice desirable feedback control benefits to avoid an excessive ‘cost of feedback’, while preserving the robust stability. In this paper, the problem of supervisory based switching Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control is proposed for the control of highly uncertain plants. According to this strategy, the unce...

Uncertain differential equation is a type of differential equation driven by Liu process. Compared to one dimensional uncertain differential equations, more situations can be considered by multi-dimension uncertain differential equations to accurately describe multiple risk processes. In this manuscript, a special type of high dimensional uncertain differential equations, named nested uncertain...

As a matter of course, power market uncertainties escalation is by product of power industry restructure on one hand and the unrivalled penetration of renewable energies on the other. Generally, the decision making process in such an uncertain environment faces with different risks. In addition, the performance of real power markets is very close to oligopoly markets, in which, some market play...
