This paper discusses how to find the global minimum of functions that are summations of small polynomials ("small" means involving a small number of variables). Some spa...
This paper introduces a new method for proving global stability of fluid flows through the construction of Lyapunov functionals. For finite dimensional approximations of fluid...
This paper develops a nested iteration algorithm to solve time-dependent nonlinear systems of partial differential equations. For each time step, Newton’s method is used to form...

A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
Abstract— In this paper, we address the problem of determining the relative position and orientation (pose) of two robots navigating in 2D, based on known egomotion and noisy rob...
