Representation of maxitive measures: an overview

Idempotent integration is an analogue of Lebesgue integration where $\sigma$-maxitive measures replace $\sigma$-additive measures. In addition to reviewing and unifying several Radon--Nikodym like theorems proven in the literature for the idempotent integral, we also prove new results of the same kind.Comment: 40 page

Gain-scheduled H∞ control via parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions

Synthesising a gain-scheduled output feedback H∞ controller via parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions for linear parameter-varying (LPV) plant models involves solving an infinite number of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In practice, for affine LPV models, a finite number of LMIs can be achieved using convexifying techniques. This paper proposes an alternative approach to achieve a finite number of LMIs. By simple manipulations on the bounded real lemma inequality, a symmetric matrix polytope inequality can be formed. Hence, the LMIs need only to be evaluated at all vertices of such a symmetric matrix polytope. In addition, a construction technique of the intermediate controller variables is also proposed as an affine matrix-valued function in the polytopic coordinates of the scheduled parameters. Computational results on a numerical example using the approach were compared with those from a multi-convexity approach in order to demonstrate the impacts of the approach on parameter-dependent Lyapunov-based stability and performance analysis. Furthermore, numerical simulation results show the effectiveness of these proposed techniques

New optimality conditions for multiobjective fuzzy programming problems

In this paper we study fuzzy multiobjective optimization problems de ned for n variables. Based on a new p-dimensional fuzzy stationary-point de nition, necessary e ciency conditions are obtained. And we prove that these conditions are also su cient under new fuzzy generalized convexity notions. Furthermore, the results are obtained under general di erentiability hypothesis.The research in this paper has been supported by Fondecyt-Chile, project 1151154 and by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Spain, through grant MINECO/FEDER(UE) MTM2015-66185-P
