Abstract: This brief is devoted to the reliable piecewise affine (PWA) H ∞ static output feedback control problem for PWA systems with actuator faults. The actuator faults are characterized by a ...

Abstract: In this technical note, cone-copositive piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions (PWQ-LFs) for the stability analysis of conewise linear systems are proposed. The existence of a PWQ-LF is ...

In intervention research, single-case experimental designs are an important way to gain insights into the causes of individual changes that yield high internal validity. They are commonly applied to ...

The records of maintenance activities are required for modeling the track irregularity deterioration process. However, it is hard to guarantee the completeness and accuracy of the maintenance records.

This column comes with a warning: Do not try to solve this math problem. You will be tempted. This problem is simply stated, easily understood, and all too inviting. Just pick a number, any number: If ...

In this paper, we propose a method for finding the best piecewise linearization of nonlinear functions. For this aim, we try to obtain the best approximation of a nonlinear function as a piecewise ...

As high-throughput biochemical screens are both expensive and labor intensive, researchers in academia and industry are turning increasingly to virtual-screening methodologies. Virtual screening ...
