Assessing stability in discrete-time systems impacted by interference and state delays: An approach using ISS by Swagatika Nayak, Smita Rani Parija, Pushpendra Kumar Gupta

“…This paper proposes three novel theorems by employing the Lyapunov function to assure the stability of the targeted discrete time systems (DTS) under complex conditions such as state delay, SO, EI and the first theorem utilizes system information more effectively by considering EI, state delay and SO, the second theorem focuses on asymptotic stability (AS) analysis of the system when EIs are zero, the third theorem proposes the system is AS when state delays are zero. …”

FLA-UNet: feature-location attention U-Net for foveal avascular zone segmentation in OCTA images by Wei Li, Li Cao, He Deng

“…Although the U-Net and its existing improvement methods have achieved good performance on FAZ segmentation, their generalization ability and segmentation accuracy can be further improved by exploring more effective improvement strategies.MethodsWe propose a novel improved method named Feature-location Attention U-Net (FLA-UNet) by introducing new designed feature-location attention blocks (FLABs) into U-Net and using a joint loss function. …”
