There has been a recent surge of powerful tools to show rapid mixing of Markov chains, via functional inequalities such as Poincar\'e inequalities. In many situations, Markov chains fail to mix rapidly from a worst-case initialization, yet…
The aim of this study is to investigate less conservative conditions for parameterized linear matrix inequalities (PLMIs) that are formulated as nested fuzzy summations. Such PLMIs are commonly encountered in stability analysis and control…
