Given a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, S ⊂ Ed , and a query point q ∈ Ed , we wish to determine the nearest neighbor of q, that is, the point of S whose Euc...
Collocation methods are a well developed approach for the numerical solution of smooth and weakly-singular Volterra integral equations. In this paper we extend these methods, thro...
Abstract: Tikhonov regularization is a popular and effective method for the approximate solution of illposed problems, including Fredholm equations of the first kind. The Tikhonov ...
We consider random approximations to deterministic optimization problems. The objective function and the constraint set can be approximated simultaneously. Relying on concentratio...
Tensegrity structures are lightweight structures composed of cables in tension and struts in compression. Since tensegrity systems exhibit geometrically nonlinear behavior, findin...
