Robust and Arbitrary Pole Placement using Static Output Feedback by El Faiz Samira, Guerbaoui Mohammed, Ed-Dahhak Abdelali, Lachhab Abdeslam

“…This paper presents the output feedback pole assignment methods that attempt to achieve a robust solution where the arbitrary choose of the poles to be assigned are as insensitive as possible to perturbations in the closed loop system. The robust and arbitrary pole placement problem is formulated as a nonlinear and non-convex programming problem with a nonlinear constraint on matrix functions as well as a linear constraint. …”

A Robust Skewed Boxplot for Detecting Outliers in Rainfall Observations in Real-Time Flood Forecasting by Chao Zhao, Jinyan Yang

“…However, for skewed data, such as telemetric rain observations in a real-time flood forecasting system, the probability is significantly higher. To overcome this problem, a medcouple (MC) that is robust to resisting outliers and sensitive to detecting skewness was introduced to construct a new robust skewed boxplot fence. …”

Analysis of session sequence of stable peers in P2P networks by ZHANG Yu-xiang1, XIAO Chun-jing1, ZHANG Hong-ke2, XU Tao1

“…A formal definition of stable peers was presented,a novel method to separate stable peers from all peers and an analysis of the session sequence of stable peers in P2P networks.This study uses the KAD,a P2P file sharing system with several million simultaneous users,as an example and draws some significant conclusions about stable peers: the stable peers is about 0.6% of all peers;the 70% of stable peers possess very long total session time ensured by a large number of sessions,and possess large difference between session time;the 30% of stable peers,whose average session time is 1.8 times of the former,possess long total session time,a small number of sessions and high availability.That these two types of stable peers can play their respective roles in constructing hierarchical P2P networks.…”
