This paper proposes the consideration of the system nonlinearities in an approach to the Power System Stabilizer problem. An order reduction is proposed and a Lyapunov Function is derived for the reduced system. Conditions ...

The calculation of standard reliability indices is critical for assessing quality service and guiding the planning and operation of distribution systems. Traditionally, such calculation has relied on the application of ...

Real-order generalization of dissipativeness and passivity concepts are presented in this paper. They are characterized as properties of a system; that is, they are independent of the system's internal representation and ...

To simplify computer management, several system administrators are adopting advanced techniques to manage software configuration on grids, but the tight coupling between hardware and software makes every PC an individual ...

The paper presents an approach to the construction of stabilizing feedback for strongly nonlinear systems. The class of systems of interest includes systems with drift which are affine in control and which cannot be ...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new approach for edge detection in gray shaded images. The proposed approach is based on the fuzzy number theory. The idea is to deal with the uncertainties concerning the gray ...

Recommendation is a significant paradigm for information exploring, which focuses on the recovery of items of potential interest to users. Some activities tend to be social rather than individual, which puts forward the ...
