In this paper, we propose a flexible model for cyclic abundance data, that takes into account predator–prey interactions. The idea is to incorporate a predator–prey dynamical model into a non homogeneous Poisson process of periodic intensity rate. Further, we devise an easy to implement...

This paper presents a new algorithm for determination of the series resistance of crystalline-Si PV modules from individual illuminated I–V curves. The ideality factor and the reverse saturation current are then extracted in the classic way. The approach is applied to in-situ measured data...

This work proposes the use of a new exponential nonlinear observer for the purpose of parametric identification and synchronization of chaotic systems. The exponential convergence of the observer is guaranteed by a persistent excitation condition. This approach is shown to be suitable for a wide...

This study provides a model to estimate the parameters of the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution under an accelerated degradation test; this test evaluates the lifetime of a durable product. The difference between the proposed model and the existing models is that the proposed model considers the...
