The comorbidity rate of groups was determined by using structured clinical interview for DSM-Ⅳ(SCID-Ⅰ). A sociodemographic data form including the story of previous psychiatric treatment, structured clinical interview for DSM-Ⅳ(SCID-Ⅰ), Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory(BDI) and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 were applied to both of the groups.RESULTS In regard to 241 obese individuals included in the study, total score and score of attention subscale for BED(+) group were significantly high(P < 0.05). In addition, suicide attempt, story of psychiatric consultation, and score for BDI were again significantly high in the BED(+) group(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION In assessment of obese individuals, assessment of associated psychopathology such as impulsive characteristics and suicide attempt in addition to disrupted eating behaviors will allow to have a more extensive view.展开更多

文摘Dear Editor,This letter studies finite-time stability (FTS) of impulsive and switched hybrid systems with delay-dependent impulses. Some conditions, based on Lyapunov method, are proposed for ensuring FTS and estimating settling-time function (STF) of the hybrid systems.When switching dynamics are FTS and impulsive dynamics involve destabilizing delay-dependent impulses, the FTS is retained if the impulses occur infrequently.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter deals with the stabilization problem of nonlinear stochastic systems via self-triggered impulsive control(STIC), where the timing of impulsive control actions is not dependent on continuous state monitoring. In contrast to the existing self-triggered control method, novel self-triggered mechanism(STM) is proposed by incorporating a waiting time for stabilizing impulses. This allows for direct prediction of the next impulsive instant.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter presents a class of saturated sliding mode control (SMC)strategy for linear systems subject to impulsive disturbance and input saturation. To ensure the feasibility of proposed SMC under saturation, a relationship is established among attraction domain, saturation structure and control gain.
文摘Optimal impulse control and impulse games provide the cutting-edge frameworks for modeling systems where control actions occur at discrete time points,and optimizing objectives under discontinuous interventions.This review synthesizes the theoretical advancements,computational approaches,emerging challenges,and possible research directions in the field.Firstly,we briefly review the fundamental theory of continuous-time optimal control,including Pontryagin's maximum principle(PMP)and dynamic programming principle(DPP).Secondly,we present the foundational results in optimal impulse control,including necessary conditions and sufficient conditions.Thirdly,we systematize impulse game methodologies,from Nash equilibrium existence theory to the connection between Nash equilibrium and systems stability.Fourthly,we summarize the numerical algorithms including the intelligent computation approaches.Finally,we examine the new trends and challenges in theory and applications as well as computational considerations.
