Event-triggered sliding mode control for switched genetic regulatory networks with persistent dwell time

This paper focus on the event-triggered sliding mode controller design for discrete-time switched genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with persistent dwell time (PDT) switching. Firstly, the observation error dynamics of switched GRNs with PDT is constructed in the light of event-triggered sliding mode control (SMC) scheme. Next, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the exponential stability of the augmented plant. Moreover, an event-triggered SMC law is synthesized to impel the system trajectories onto the sliding surface in a finite time. Finally, a verification example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and potential of the proposed method.     

Parameter choice by discrepancy principles for ill-posed problems leading to optimal convergence rates

Schock (Ref. 1) considered a general a posteriori parameter choice strategy for the Tikhonov regularization of the ill-posed operator equationTx=y which provides nearly the optimal rate of convergence if the minimal-norm least-squares solution belongs to the range of the operator (T ^* T) ^v , o<v1. Recently, Nair (Ref. 2) improved the result of Schock and also provided the optimal rate ifv=1. In this note, we further improve the result and show in particular that the optimal rate can be achieved for 1/2v1.The final version of this work was written while M. T.

Rational choice based on vague preferences

This paper studies vague preferences. In contrast to the concept of fuzzy preferences, the more general notion of vague preferences does not entail the assumption that the different degrees of preference are completely ordered. It is shown that the more general concept of a vague preference order arises very naturally in the context of aggregating a set of (exact) weak orders. Furthermore, necessary and sufficient conditions for the rationalizability of an exact choice function by means of a vague preference order are given. It turns out that in the general case these conditions are weaker than in the case where the degrees of preference are completely ordered. Consequently, there exist choice functions which are rationalizable by a general vague preference order but which are not rationalizable by a fuzzy preference order, or more generally by any vague preference order which induces a complete ranking of the degrees of preference. Examples of such choice functions are provided.This is a revised version of a discussion paper which was written at the University of Karlsruhe. I am grateful to Georg Bol and an anonymous referee for valuable comments. The research has been made possible by a fellowship of the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) which is also gratefully acknowledged.     

The Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem Plus Countable Choice Do Not Imply Dependent Choice

Two Fraenkel-Mostowski models are constructed in which the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem is true. In both models, AC for countable sets is true, but AC for sets of cardinality 2 and the 2m = m principle are both false. The Principle of Dependent Choices is true in the first model, but false in the second. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E25, 03E35, 04A25.
