All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

In this part you do not have to sketch the graph and you may even be given the sketch of the graph to start with. For a quadratic equation of the form \(y = k{(x - a)^2} + b\), the following diagram ...

Abstract: Piecewise affine (PWA) systems, which belong to a class of hybrid systems receiving a lot of attention, are useful for describing dynamics of real-world systems. A PWA system, whose dynamic ...

Abstract: In this paper we are interested in the incremental stability of piecewise-affine (PWA) systems. We present conditions to compute an upper bound on the incremental ℒ2-gain based on ...

Indicator functions are constructed under the linear-quadratic parameterization for contrasts, and applied to the study of partial aliasing properties for three-level fractional factorial designs. An ...
