Abstract: This paper presents a direct truncation methodology for reducing the order of large scale interval systems. The algorithm is computationally simple, and intuitively appealing. Numerical ...

Chain-of-events data are longitudinal observations on a succession of events that can only occur in a prescribed order. One goal in an analysis of this type of data is to determine the distribution of ...

Abstract: SEPIC converter is a versatile DC-to-DC converter that can adjust voltage levels both upwards and downwards. By featuring two inductors and two capacitors, the SEPIC converter operates as a ...

Time history analysis is considered as one of the most commonly used methods to evaluate the seismic performance of structures. But it is time-consuming for the computation cases such as complex ...
