The Adaptive Time-delay Neural Network (AT N N), a paradigm for training a nonlinear neural network with adaptive time-delays, is described. Both time delays and connection weights are adapted on-line according to a gradient ...

Chapman's paper, "Planning for Conjunctive Goals", has been widely acknowledged for its contribution toward understanding the nature of nonlinear (partial-order) planning, and it has been one of the bases of later work by ...

Nonlinear Model Predictive Controllers determine appropriate control actions by solving an on-line optimization problem. A nonlinear process model is utilized for on-line prediction, making such algorithms particularly ...

In this thesis, we explore how the human auditory system represents and detects changes in a spectral profile. First, using profile analysis methods, we measure listeners' sensitivities to changes in spectral peak shapes ...

The time-recursive computation model has been proven as a particularly useful tool in audio, video, radar and sonar real- time data processing architectures. Unlike the FFT based architectures, the time-recursive ones ...

This thesis addresses the stability and feedback control of period doubling bifurcations. We find formulas for determining the stability of nondegenerate and degenerate period doubling bifurcations. Specifically, we find ...

This thesis presents a new approach to frequency domain design of robust controllers for distributed parameter systems. The central idea is to use techniques from complex analysis, that were developed for the solution of ...

In this paper we formulate mathematically and solve maximin and minimax detection problems for signals with power constraints. These problems arise whenever it is necessary to distinguish between a genuine signal and a ...

The ability to quickly introduce new quality products is a decisive factor in capturing market share. Because of pressing demands to reduce lead time, analyzing the manufacturability of the proposed design has become an ...

We consider a single-queue system with multiple servers that are non-identical. Our interest is in applying the technique of perturbation analysis to estimate derivatives of mean steady- state system time. Because infinitesimal ...
