In this paper, the formation tracking problem for the second-order multi-agent system with and without input delay are investigated, respectively. The objective is to design the formation tracking algorithm such that a certain follower follows the trajectory of the leader while also maintains a certain desired geometric formation with other agents simultaneously. The impulsive algorithms are designed by using only the relative position information of the neighbors for both the cases with and without the input delay. By using properties of the Laplacian matrix and combining the stability theory of impulsive systems, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to achieve the formation tracking of the second-order multi-agent system with and without the input delay, respectively. The numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Blood vessel segmentation is an important problem for quantitative structure analysis of retinal images, and many diseases are related to the structure changes. Manual segmentation is time consuming and computer aided segmentation is required to deal with large amount images. This paper presents a new supervised method for segmentation of blood vessels in retinal photographs. Multiple kernel learning (MKL) is introduced to deal with the problem, utilizing features from Hessian matrix based vesselness measure, response of multiscale Gabor filter, and multiple scale line strength features. The method is evaluated on the publicly available DRIVE and STARE databases. The performance of the MKL method is evaluated and experimental results show the high accuracy of the proposed method.

Point matching is an important component of image registration. Recent years, Coherent Point Drift (CPD) method becomes a very popular point matching approach. CPD treats point matching as a probability estimation problem and speeds up the process of matching a lot. In this method, one set of points are thought to be sampled from a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), which is centered by the other set of points. However, CPD is sensitive to outliers and noises, especially when the noise ratio increased or the number of outliers gets much high. To deal with this problem, we introduce shape context into the step of searching for matching points and then improve the form of prior probabilities of GMM in this paper. The main idea of our method is that if the most points in a data set are likely to be matched to a particular centroid, this Gaussian component should be have a more influence to GMM. Therefore, we set prior probability of GMM with the similarity between GMM components and the data set. And the computation of similarity is based on shape context. The experiments on 2D and 3D images show that when noise ratio is low, our method performs as well as CPD does, but as the ratio increased, our method is more robust and satisfactory than CPD.

In this paper, we investigate exponential stability of delayed recurrent neural networks. By using the delay partitioning method, some sufficient conditions are established to guarantee exponential stability of delayed recurrent neural networks under two different conditions with constructing new Lyapunov–Krasvoskii functional. This partitioning approach can reduce the conservatism comparing with some previous results of stability. At last, numerical examples are given out to show the effectiveness and advantage of our results.

This paper is concerned with the problems of stability for a class of impulsive positive systems. An impulsive positive system model is introduced for the first time and a necessary and sufficient condition guaranteeing the positivity of this kind of system is proposed. Several sufficient criteria of global exponential stability and global asymptotical stability for impulsive positive systems are established respectively by using a linear copositive Lyapunov function. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed results.

This paper is considered with the H ∞ observer design problem for a class of nonlinear systems with the one-sided Lipschitz condition. The systems under consideration include the well-studied Lipschitz system as a special case and possess inherent advantages with respect to conservativeness. For such systems in the presence of noises, we develop a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) based approach to design a nonlinear H ∞ observer by carefully dealing with the one-sided Lipschitz condition together with the quadratic inner-bounded condition. The resulting nonlinear H ∞ observer guarantees asymptotic stability of the estimation error dynamics with a prescribed H ∞ performance. Moreover, for the design purpose, the existence condition of the proposed nonlinear H ∞ observer is formulated in terms of LMIs by using a matrix generalized inverse technique. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.

In this paper, we propose an Activity-List based Nested Partitions algorithm for solving the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem(RCPSP). This algorithm is based on traditional Serial Scheduling scheme (SSS) and partitions the feasible solution space which is formulated by activity-lists into subregions by the nested partitions approach. We also utilize Double Justification as local search to improve the solutions. The algorithm is tested on J120 in PSPLIB with the result that the algorithm is relatively effective for solving large-scale, complex RCPSPs.
