We solve the problem of minimizing the number of critical points among all functions on a surface within a prescribed distance from a given input function. The result is achieved...
Motivated by applications in computer graphics, visualization, and scienti c computation, we study the computational complexity of the following problem: Given a set S of n points...
We study the optimal input-output stabilization of discrete time-invariant linear systems in Hilbert spaces by output injection. We show that a necessary and sufficient condition ...
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
For discrete-time linear time invariant systems with constraints on inputs and states, we develop an algorithm to determine explicitly, the state feedback control law which minimi...
