In this paper we study averaging algorithms and coverage control laws in a unified light. First, we characterize the convergence properties of averaging algorithms over acyclic di...
Abstract— In this paper, we consider a class of continuoustime, continuous-space stochastic optimal control problems. Building upon recent advances in Markov chain approximation ...
We present an algorithm for large-scale equality constrained optimization. The method is based on a characterization of inexact sequential quadratic programming (SQP) steps that ca...
We present a method for animating deformable objects using a novel finite element discretization on convex polyhedra. Our finite element approach draws upon recently introduced ...
Abstract. We describe and critique the convergence properties of filterbased evolutionary pattern search algorithms (F-EPSAs). F-EPSAs implicitly use a filter to perform a multi-...
