In this paper, we study a flexible piecewise approximation technique based on the use of the idea of the partition of unity. The approximations are piecewisely defined, globally sm...
An algorithm for the construction of an explicit piecewise linear state feedback approximation to nonlinear constrained receding horizon control is given. It allows such controlle...
This paper deals with the problem of constructing Steiner trees of minimum weight with diameter bounded by d, spanning a given set of vertices in a graph. Exact solutions or logar...
This paper presents the result for Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) on the BBOB 2010 noiseless testbed. SPSA is a stochastic gradient approximation strate...
We study the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a sensor network assigned to monitor a given area. Our main result is a linear time dual approximation algorithm that comes arbit...
