Some Aspects of Sensitivity Analysis in Variational Data Assimilation for Coupled Dynamical Systems by Sergei Soldatenko, Peter Steinle, Chris Tingwell, Denis Chichkine

“…For simple enough low-order models, the computational cost is minor and therefore models of this class are used as simple test instruments to emulate more complex systems. In this paper, the sensitivity with respect to variations in the parameters of one of the main components of VDA, the nonlinear forecasting model, is considered. …”

Optimization of Extended Warranty Cost for Multi-Component Products with Failure Interaction by Rongcai Wang, Enzhi Dong, Zhonghua Cheng, Liqing Rong, Qian Wang

“…In practice, the assumption of failure independence between components is seldom valid, especially for those complex systems with complicated failure mechanism. Users can decide whether to purchase extended warranty (EW) at the end of basic warranty, and there are many factors that influence this decision, such as product reliability and EW price. …”

Robust l2−l∞ Filtering for Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems with Norm-Bounded Uncertainties by Wenbai Li, Yu Xu, Huaizhong Li

“…As we know that the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy linear systems can be used to represent smooth nonlinear systems, the studied plants can also be uncertain complex systems. We suppose to design a filter with the order of the original system which is also dependent on the normalized fuzzy-weighting function; that is, the filter is also a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy filter. …”
