Recent work on the location of perinatal facilities in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro resulted in the development of an uncapacitated, three-level hierarchical model. An impor...
Abstract. The emergence of complex network structures of relationships between autonomous agents occurs in a wide range of distributed systems. Many researchers have proposed model...
In this paper, we consider approximation algorithms for optimizing a generic multi-variate homogeneous polynomial function, subject to homogeneous quadratic constraints. Such opti...
This paper proposes a throwing manipulation strategy for a robot with one revolute joint. The throwing manipulation enables the robot not only to manipulate the object to outside o...
We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
