We present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...
In this paper we incorporate dipolar potential fields used for nonholonomic navigation into a novel potential function designed for multi – robot navigation. The derived naviga...
