This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
We consider several classical models in deterministic inventory theory: the single-item lot-sizing problem, the joint replenishment problem, and the multi-stage assembly problem. ...
Over the last years, we have witnessed the increased use of Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processors (ASIPs). These ASIPs are processors that have a customizable instruction...
As many real-world problems involve user preferences, costs, or probabilities, constraint satisfaction has been extended to optimization by generalizing hard constraints to soft co...
We present a new approach to the algorithmic study of planar curves, with applications to estimations of contours in images. We construct spaces of curves satisfying constraints su...
