Robust stability of a class of neural networks with time delays

A stability analysis of the equilibrium position for a given class of Hopfield neural networks with time delays is presented. The robustness of the equilibrium stability with respect to variations in the time delays, system parameters, and interconnection matrix is analyzed. Three approaches are presented which account in various ways for stability of the equilibrium with respect to these perturbations.Work conducted while visiting the University of Bremen, supported by the Deutscheforschungsgemeinschaft.

Development and Validation of a LC Method for the Determination of Pramipexole Using an Experimental Design

A rapid and sensitive RP-HPLC method with UV detection for routine control of pramipexole in tablets was developed. Chromatography was performed with mobile phase containing a mixture of acetonitrile/phosphate buffer (60/40; v/v) with a flow rate of 0.8 mL min⁻¹. Quantitation was accomplished with the internal standard method; the procedure was validated by linearity (correlation coefficient = 0.99892), accuracy, robustness and intermediate precision. Limit of quantitation and limit of detection were found to be 4.5 μg and 1.4 μg respectively, which indicates the method is highly sensitive. Experimental design was used during validation to calculate method robustness and intermediate precision, for robustness test three factors were considered; percentage v/v of acetonitrile, flow rate and pH; an increase in the flow rate results in a decrease of concentration found of the drug, while the percentage of organic modifier and temperature have no important effect on the response. For intermediate precision measure the considered variables were: analyst, equipment, days and obtained RSD value (0.56%, n=24) which indicated a good precision of the analytical method. The method was found to be applicable for determination of the drug in tablet formulations and the results of the developed method were compared with those of the UV spectrophotometric method to access the active pramipexole content.

Survivable networks,linear programming relaxations and the parsimonious property

We consider the survivable network design problem — the problem of designing, at minimum cost, a network with edge-connectivity requirements. As special cases, this problem encompasses the Steiner tree problem, the traveling salesman problem and thek-edge-connected network design problem. We establish a property, referred to as the parsimonious property, of the linear programming (LP) relaxation of a classical formulation for the problem. The parsimonious property has numerous consequences. For example, we derive various structural properties of these LP relaxations, we present some algorithmic improvements and we perform tight worst-case analyses of two heuristics for the survivable network design problem.The research of both authors was partially supported by the National Science Foundation under grant ECS-8717970 and the Leaders for manufacturing program at MIT.     

Asymptotics of Estimating Equations under Natural Conditions

In a variety of statistical problems one needs to solve an equation in order to get an estimator. We consider the large sample properties of such estimators generated from samples that are not necessarily identically distributed. Very general assumptions that lead to the existence, strong consistency, and asymptotic normality of the estimators are given. A number of results that are useful in verifying the general assumptions are given and an example illustrates their use. General applications to maximum likelihood, iteratively reweighted least squares, and robust estimation are discussed briefly.
