This paper shows how universal shifted stability and performance of discrete-time systems can be analysed by making use of the time-difference dynamics. Moreover, the existing results are extended for incremental dissipativity for discrete-time systems based on dissipativity analysis of the differential dynamics to more general state-dependent storage functions for less conservative results.

To address the unique dynamics of neurons, such as zero gradients in firing times, the method employs approximations of input currents using a sigmoid function during its development. The effectiveness of this approach is validated through extensive numerical simulations. Furthermore, control experiments were conducted by reducing the number of input neurons to identify critical features for control. Various selection techniques were utilized to pinpoint key input neurons. These experiments shed light on the importance of specific input neurons in controlling module firing within neuronal networks.

The objective of the EDP is to minimize the total generation cost by allocating power to individual generators, each with its local generation constraint. To save the overhead of communication resources between agents, an edge-based event-triggered mechanism is suggested. By setting distinct triggering thresholds for each communication edge, the agent may efficiently regulate the communication frequency among all neighbors. However, in practice, owing to the instability of the network, the agent may receive information regarding its neighbors, leading to communication lags for every communication link. The virtual agent technique and double-stochastic matrix augmentation technique provide an equivalent delay-free EDP.
