Towards which Representation? by Roberto de Rubertis

“…The first question we ask ourselves, coherently with what is requested of us, is, in fact, how we stand today in the context of an evolution that has important repercussions even on teaching –if there has actually been an evolution– and how we relate to its undeniable metamorphoses or, more properly, “mutations” as Darwin would call them. …”

Finite-Time Stability Analysis of Switched Genetic Regulatory Networks with Time-Varying Delays via Wirtinger’s Integral Inequality by Shanmugam Saravanan, M. Syed Ali, Grienggrai Rajchakit, Bussakorn Hammachukiattikul, Bandana Priya, Ganesh Kumar Thakur

“…A novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is proposed to capture the dynamical characteristic of GRNs. Using Wirtinger’s integral inequality, reciprocally convex combination technique and the average dwell time method conditions in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are established for finite-time stability of switched GRNs. …”

Analysis and Design of Networked Control Systems with Random Markovian Delays and Uncertain Transition Probabilities by Li Qiu, Chengxiang Liu, Fengqi Yao, Gang Xu

“…This paper focuses on the stability issue of discrete-time networked control systems with random Markovian delays and uncertain transition probabilities, wherein the random time delays exist in the sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator. The resulting closed-loop system is modeled as a discrete-time Markovian delays system governed by two Markov chains. …”
