This paper is a study of some properties of a collection of bounded linear operators resulting from terraced matrices M acting through multiplication on ${\ell}^2$; the term terraced matrix refers to a lower triangular infinite matrix with constant row segments. Sufficient conditions are found for M to be posinormal, meaning that $MM^*=M^*PM$ for some positive operator P on ${\ell}^2$; these conditions lead to new sufficient conditions for the hyponormality of M. Sufficient conditions are also found for the adjoint $M^*$ to be posinormal, and it is observed that, unless M is essentially trivial, $M^*$ cannot be hyponormal. A few examples are considered that exhibit special behavior.

This paepr is concerned with the design of linear parameter varying filter that ensures H$^{2}$/$H^{\infty}$ performance for a class of linear parameter varying(LPV) plants. The state space matrices of plant are assumed to be dependent affinely on a vector of time varying parameter, and each parameter is assumed to be measured in real time. Using the linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), we can solve the synthesis problem and the solution of LMIs is carried out off-line. The designed filter is parameter varying and automatically scheduled along parameter trajectories. Because the solution of LMIs is carried out off-line, computation time of filter gain is reduced. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verifed through computer simulation..

Two kinds of novel bifunctional methacrylated prepolymers (170-2MA and 631-2MA) which have similar structure with 2,2-bis[4- (2'-hynroxy-3'-methacryloyloxypropoxy)phenyl] propane (Bis-GMA) was synthesized for dental applications as an alternative to Bis-GMA containing bisphenol A that is doubtful as an endocrine disrupter. The organic matrices were prepared by mixing a diluent and/or a monomer with the synthesized methacrylated prepolymers. The yield, viscosity, and chemical structures of the prepolymers and the physical and methanical properties of the organic matrices were evaluated. The yields of the prepolymers synthesized through a ring-opening reaction of epoxy compound and methacrylic acid were above 90% and the viscosities of the prepolymers were much lower than that of the Bis-GMA control. From the results of $^1H-NMR$ and FTIR analyses, the chemical structures of the prepolymers were similar to that of Bis-GMA. In addition, the curing time, poly-merization shrinkage, photoconversion, polymerization depth, and compressive strength of the organic matrices formulated with 170-2MA and 631-2MA prepolymers exhibited comparable to or better than those of the existing Bis-GMA-based one. These results suggest that the novel methacrylated prepolymers which have no endocrine disrupter can be an alternative to Bis-GMA and be applicable to dental polymer materials.

In this paper, we establish a new robust $H_{\infty}$ performance condition for uncertain discrete-time systems with convex polytopic uncertainties. We express the condition as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which are used to check stability and $H_{\infty}$ disturbance attenuation level by a parameter-dependent Lyapunov matrix. We show that the new condition provides less conservative result than the existing ones which use single Lyapunov matrix. We also show that the robust $H_{\infty}$ state feedback design problem for such uncertain discrete-time systems can be easily dealt with using the approach. The key point in this paper is to propose a kind of decoupling between the Lyapunov matrix and the system matrices in the parameter-dependent matrix inequality by introducing one new matrix variable.

This paper proposes a new condition about delay-dependent robust $H_{\infty}$ control of uncertain linear systems with time-varying delay and randomly occurring disturbances. The norm bounded uncertainties are subjected to the system matrices. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a sufficient condition for designing a controller gain such that the closed-loop systems are asymptotically stable with $H_{\infty}$ disturbance level ${\gamma}$ is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, two numerical examples are included to show the effectiveness of the presented method.

In this paper, an efficient and accurate formulation for the transient analysis of constrained multibody systems is presented. The formulation employs Kane's method along with the null space method. Kane's method reduces the dimension of equations of motion by using partial velocity matrix: it can improve the efficiency of the formulation. Furthermore, the formulation partitions the coefficient matrix of linear and nonlinear equations into several sub-matrices using kinematic uncoupling. This can solve the equations more efficiently. The proposed formulation can be used to perform dynamic analysis of systems which can be partitioned into several sub-systems such as train systems. One numerical example is given to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the formulation, and another numerical example is given to show its application to the train systems.

The effect of some formulation variables on the release rate of famotidine, a $H_2$ receptor antagonist, from cellulose matrices containing hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) in different ratios and types was investigated. The effects of tablet shape and compression pressure on dissolution rate of famotidine were studied. And the effect of the pH of dissolution media was also studied. Increase in the ratio of polymer to drug decreased the release rate of famotidine. Increase of the polymer viscosity also decreased the release rate. The release rate of famotidine was dependent on the pH of dissolution media. The release rate of drug was not much dependent on the compression pressure but dependent on the tablet shape and/or surface area. Consequently, the release rate of famotidine can be modified by changing the HPC contents, types of polymers with different viscosity grades or using appropriate fillers.

Let $\mathbb{H}_g$ and $\mathbb{D}_g$ be the Siegel upper half plane and the generalized unit disk of degree g respectively. Let $\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$ be the Euclidean space of all $h{\times}g$ complex matrices. We present a partial Cayley transform of the Siegel-Jacobi disk $\mathbb{D}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$ onto the Siegel-Jacobi space $\mathbb{H}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$ which gives a partial bounded realization of $\mathbb{H}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$ by $\mathbb{D}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$. We prove that the natural actions of the Jacobi group on $\mathbb{D}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$. and $\mathbb{H}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$. are compatible via a partial Cayley transform. A partial Cayley transform plays an important role in computing differential operators on the Siegel Jacobi disk $\mathbb{D}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$. invariant under the natural action of the Jacobi group $\mathbb{D}_g{\times}\mathbb{C}^{(h,g)}$ explicitly.

The descriptor system model has a high ability in representing dynamical systems. It can preserve physical parameters in the coefficient matrices, and describe the dynamic part, static part, and even the improper part of the system in the same form. The design of mixed $H_{2}/H_{\infty}$ controllers for linear time-invariant descriptor systems is considered in this paper. Firstly, an $H_2$ and $H_{\infty}$ synthesis problems fur a descriptor system are presented separately in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) based on the bounded real lemma. Then, we show that the existence of a mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controller by which the $H_2$ norm of the second channel is minimized while keeping the $H_2$ norm bound of the first channel less than ${\gamma}$, is reduced to the linear objective minimization problem. The class of desired controllers that are assumed to have the same structure as the plant is parameterized by using the linearizing change of variables.

In this paper, we consider the synthesis of mixed H$_{2}$/H$_{\infty}$ controllers such that the closed-loop poles are located in a specified region in the complex plane. Using solution to a generalized Riccati equation and a change of variable technique, it is shown that this synthesis problem can be reduced to a convex optimization problem over a bounded subset of matrices. This convex programming can be further reduced to Generalized Eigenvalue Minimization Problem where Interior Point method has been recently developed to efficiently solve this problem..
