In this paper we continue the investigation of some aspects of descent theory for schemes that was begun in [11]. Let SCH be a category of schemes. We show that quasi-compact pure ...
There is a construction which lies at the heart of descent theory. The combinatorial aspects of this paper concern the description of the construction in all dimensions. The descr...
Abstract-- In robot deployment problems, the fundamental issue is to optimize a steady state performance measure that depends on the spatial configuration of a group of robots. For...
We compare inexact Newton and coordinate descent methods for optimizing the quality of a mesh by repositioning the vertices, where quality is measured by the harmonic mean of the ...
