Wage reactions to regional and national unemployment
Abstract This paper analyses the entire wage effects of unemployment for an especially long observation period. In a three‐step approach, the wage reaction at the national level (wage‐setting curve or aggregate wage equation) is added to the reaction at the regional level (wage curve). Spatial models with instrumental variables are used.

ABSTRACT The importance of frequency domain methods in analysis and design of sliding mode (SM) control systems is mostly associated with chattering, where the advantages of these methods over state‐space and Lyapunov's methods are quite obvious.

Bifurcation along curves for the p-Laplacian with radial symmetry
We study the global structure of the set of radial solutions of a nonlinear Dirichlet eigenvalue problem involving the p-Laplacian with p>2, in the unit ball of $mathbb{R}^N$, $N geq 1$.

Control Design Based on Generalized Lur'e Lyapunov Functions for Sampled‐Data Lur'e Systems
ABSTRACT This article addresses the synthesis of stabilizing control laws for aperiodic sampled‐data Lur'e systems. Based on a hybrid system representation of the closed‐loop system and a timer‐dependent generalized Lur'e–Postnikov type Lyapunov function, stabilization conditions are obtained by separating decision variables with the application of two

High‐Order Sliding‐Mode control for MIMO Systems
ABSTRACT This paper extends Lyapunov‐based homogeneous high‐order sliding‐mode control to a class of uncertain non‐square multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with a well‐defined vector relative degree. The considered systems admit a normal‐form representation with an uncertain but full‐row‐rank input‐gain matrix.

For the n-th eigenvalue of a Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem with separated boundary conditions, we express the infimum of the $L^1[0,1]$ norm of potentials, in terms of a parameter $\lambda$ and the boundary conditions. Also we indicate where the

Feedback Linearisation with State Constraints
ABSTRACT Feedback Linearisation (FBL) is a widely used technique that applies feedback laws to transform input‐affine nonlinear control systems into linear control systems, allowing for the use of linear controller design methods such as pole placement.

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study
Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

ABSTRACT In privacy protection of control systems, a trade‐off between control performance and privacy level is often pointed out. Our goal in this paper is to improve this trade‐off by shaping the frequency of noise added for privacy protection when the control objective is to track a reference signal, which is taken as a piece of information whose ...

Do Single‐Sex STEM Programs Have Merit? If So, for Whom, on What Measures?
ABSTRACT Single‐sex STEM programs—defined here as voluntary, gender‐segregated extracurricular or supplemental activities (e.g., summer camps, workshops, robotics clubs, internships, or citizen science initiatives)—have experienced heightened popularity and scrutiny amid efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields.
