Computing Distances between Surfaces Using Line Geometry
We present an algorithm for computing the distance between two free-form surfaces. Using line geometry, the distance computation is reformulated as a simple instance of a surface-...

Quasi-birth-and-death processes with restricted transitions and its applications
In this paper we identify a class of Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) processes where the transitions to higher (resp. lower) levels are restricted to occur only from (resp. to) a subs...

Stabilization of Systems with Changing Dynamics
We present a framework for designing stable control schemes for systems whose dynamic equations change as they evolve on the state space. It is usually difficult or even impossible...
