Improved delay‐dependent absolute stability and robust stability for a class of nonlinear systems with a time‐varying delay

This paper investigates the problem of the absolute stability of Lur'e systems with a time‐varying delay. By considering the relationships among the time‐varying delay, its upper bound, and the difference between them, less conservative delay‐dependent stability criteria are obtained and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities, without ignoring any useful terms in the derivative of a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. Numerical example shows that the results obtained in this paper are better than the previous results. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Web-based Biometric Computer Mouse Advisory System to Analyze a User's Emotions and Work Productivity

This article describes the analysis of emotional state and work productivity using a Web-based Biometric Computer Mouse Advisory System to Analyze a User's Emotions and Work Productivity (Advisory system hereafter) developed by this paper's authors. The Advisory system determines the level of emotional state and work productivity integrally by employing three main biometric techniques (physiological, psychological and behavioral). By using these three biometric techniques, the Advisory system can analyze a person's eleven states of being (stress, work productivity, mood, interest in work) and seven emotions (self-control, happiness, anger, fear, sadness, surprise and anxiety) during a realistic timeframe. Furthermore, to raise the reliability of the Advisory system even more, it also integrated the data supplied by the Biometric Finger (blood pressure and pulse rates). Worldwide research includes various scientists who conducted in-depth studies on the different and very important areas of biometric mouse systems. However, biometric mouse systems cannot generate recommendations. The Advisory system determines a user's physiological, psychological and behavioral/movement parameters based on that user's real-time needs and existing situation. It then generates thousands of alternative stress management recommendations based on the compiled Maslow's Pyramid Tables and selects out the most rational of these for the user's specific situation. The information compiled for Maslow's Pyramid Tables consists of a collection of respondent surveys and analyses of the best global practices. Maslow's Pyramid Tables were developed for an employee working with a computer in a typical organization. The Advisory system provides a user with a real-time assessment of his/her own productivity and emotional state. This article presents the Advisory system, a case study and a scenario used to test and validate the developed Advisory system and its composite parts to demonstrate its validity, efficiency and usefulness.     

Robust delayed-state-feedback stabilization of uncertain stochastic systems

Due to time spent in computation and transfer, control input is usually subject to delays. Problems of deterministic systems with input delay have received considerable attention. However, relatively few works are concerned with problems of stochastic system with input delay. This paper studies delayed-feedback stabilization of uncertain stochastic systems. Based on a new delay-dependent stability criterion established in this paper, a robust delayed-state-feedback controller that exponentially stabilizes the uncertain stochastic systems is proposed. Numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the proposed method.

Single Criterion Net Flow Using Concordance and Discordance Relations

This article proposes a flow-based method using the single criterion net flow for pattern classification. Traditional single criterion net flow, generated on the basis of net partial concordance indices, measures the preference intensity for one pattern with respect to all others on this criterion. A concordance index measures the intensity of preference for one pattern over another pattern. Contrary to traditional flow-based methods, such as PROMETHEE, in which only the concordance relation is taken into account, the proposed method proposes a new definition of single criterion net flow using both concordance and discordance relations. This can balance pros and cons for the preference of one pattern over another pattern for a criterion. The final classification decision for a new pattern depends on its net flow. Criteria weights are determined using a genetic-algorithm-based approach. Empirical results involving bankruptcy prediction demonstrate that the proposed method performs well compared to other well-known classification methods.
