These external stability properties include Sontag's ISS and iISS conditions and standard L2-gain property.
In this paper we consider the ISS (input-to-state stability) and iISS (integral input-to-state stability) feedback control redesign for interconnected systems described by retarded nonlinear equations with discontinuous right-hand side.
Conducted in advance of the 2009 H1N1 vaccination campaign, the objectives of this study were to understand the perceived value of individual-level data and IISs for influenza control, identify ideal system functions, and explore barriers to implementation.
Input-to-state stability (ISS), integral-ISS (iISS) and their related notions of input/output stability and detectability have become a useful framework for nonlinear feedback analysis and design.
China's demarcation of an air defence zone that overlaps areas claimed by Japan is a strong statement, writes Alexander Neill of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), and one that raises the risk of possible miscalculation and escalation in the region.
The IISS, and others who want the world to believe in the documents' authenticity, rest much of their case on the supposed verification of the files by Interpol.
Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development According to both the UN report and an International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) report published yesterday, donor countries are not meeting their promises on aid.
"It took a conservative approach to the development of a long-range bomber," says Douglas Barrie, an aviation analyst at the International institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), "and was seen as a less risky approach than the Myasishchev M-4 Bison".
Prior to his current appointment, Terence Taylor was Vice-President, Global Health and Security at the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), and earlier Assistant Director at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London and was President and Executive Director of IISS-US.
The Pentagon is looking to the private sector for help, setting up a "Defence Information Unit-Experimental" to help it "leverage best lessons from Silicon Valley on issues like big data, analytics, autonomy and robotics", says the IISS.
Unfortunately, there are many loud voices that continue to see Latin America through a cold war prism, such as the current heads of the US House foreign affairs and western hemisphere committees, as well as various editorial writers at major US media organisations, who will be all too happy to take the IISS spooks and neocons at their word – just as they did in the runup to the invasion of Iraq.
