In this paper we consider convex planar polygons with parallel opposite sides. These polygons can be regarded as discretizations of closed convex planar curves by taking tangent lines at samples with pairwise parallel ...

Discrete distributions have their important in modeling count data in several applied fields such as epidemiology, public health, sociology, medicine, and agriculture. This paper discusses the estimation of the parameters ...

Discrete-time models of non-uniformly sampled nonlinear systems under zero-order hold relate the next state sample to the current state sample, (constant) input value, and sampling interval. The exact discrete-time model, ...

This paper deals with the discretization and control of an SEIR epidemic model. Such a model describes the transmission of an infectious disease among a time-varying host population. The model assumes mortality from ...

In this manuscript, a method for designing Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy discrete-time regulators based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is proposed to control the variation of the knee joint angle movement of paraplegic ...

In the context of nonparametric regression, we study conditions under which the consistency (and rates of convergence) of estimators built from discretely sampled curves can be derived from the consistency of estimators ...

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd This work addresses the problem of parameter inference in the Cox-Boolean discrete fracture network model, in which the fractures are represented by flat discs with random orientations and diameters ...
