Global Dissipativity on Uncertain Discrete-Time Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays by Qiankun Song, Jinde Cao

“…The problems on global dissipativity and global exponential dissipativity are investigated for uncertain discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays and general activation functions. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and employing linear matrix inequality technique, several new delay-dependent criteria for checking the global dissipativity and global exponential dissipativity of the addressed neural networks are established in linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be checked numerically using the effective LMI toolbox in MATLAB. …”

Measuring real-time violence exposure and its impact on intimate partner violence perpetration among adolescents. by Rachel Kidman, Janan Janine Dietrich, Xiaoyue Zhang, Candice W Ramsammy, Phumla Madi, Stefanie Vermaak, Buisiwe Nkala-Dlamini, Avy Violari

“…We collected data through weekly mobile phone surveys (n = 12,603) delivered over a year. Generalized linear mixed effect models were used to fit IPV perpetration as a function of past-24-hour violence victimization; models included indicators for between-person and within-person components of victimization.…”

Supervised optimal control in complex continuous systems with trajectory imitation and reinforcement learning by Yingjun Liu, Fuchun Liu, Renwei Huang

“…Reinforcement learning (RL) automatically learns complex decisions through trial and error, but it requires the design of precise reward functions combined with domain knowledge. For complex scenarios where the reward function cannot be achieved or is only with sparse rewards, we proposed a novel supervised optimal control framework based on trajectory imitation (TI) and reinforcement learning (RL) in this paper. …”
