Abstract: This paper proposes a dynamic piecewise linear model to represent dc transmission losses in optimal scheduling problems. An iterative procedure is proposed, where the linear cuts to ...

Abstract: Continuous-time positive systems, switching among p subsystems, are introduced, and a complete characterization for the existence of a common linear copositive Lyapunov function for all the ...

Maternal thyroid function during pregnancy is implicated in the neurodevelopment of the offspring, yet little is known about the effect of maternal thyroid parameters on the behavior of children. We ...
