Proper handling of continuous variables is crucial in healthcare research, for example, within regression modelling for descriptive, explanatory, or predictive purposes. However, inadequate methods ...

Continuous piecewise affine (PWA) functions arise in many aspects of control. For this kind of function, we propose the minimal conjunctive normal expression (CNE). The CNE can be expressed as the ...

This brief studies the complete stability of neural networks with nonmonotonic piecewise linear activation functions. By applying the fixed-point theorem and the eigenvalue properties of the strict ...
