New summation inequalities and their applications to discrete-time delay systems

This paper provides new summation inequalities in both single and double forms to be used in stability analysis of discrete-time systems with time-varying delays. The potential capability of the newly derived inequalities is demonstrated by establishing less conservative stability conditions for a class of linear discrete-time systems with an interval time-varying delay in the framework of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness and least conservativeness of the derived stability conditions are shown by academic and practical examples.Comment: 15 pages, 01 figur

Logarithmic Coefficients and Generalized Multifractality of Whole-Plane SLE

We consider the whole-plane SLE conformal map f from the unit disk to the slit plane, and show that its mixed moments, involving a power p of the derivative modulus |f'| and a power q of the map |f| itself, have closed forms along some integrability curves in the (p,q) moment plane, which depend continuously on the SLE parameter kappa. The generalization of this integrability property to the m-fold transform of f is also given. We define a generalized integral means spectrum corresponding to the singular behavior of the mixed moments above. By inversion, it allows for a unified description of the unbounded interior and bounded exterior versions of whole-plane SLE, and of their m-fold generalizations. The average generalized spectrum of whole-plane SLE takes four possible forms, separated by five phase transition lines in the moment plane, whereas the average generalized spectrum of the m-fold whole-plane SLE is directly obtained from a linear map acting in that plane. We also conjecture the form of the universal generalized integral means spectrum.Comment: 51 pages, 11 figures; considerably revised and extended version. Sections 4 and 5 fused, Section 7 deleted.
