Batch distillation is an important separation process for small-scale production especially in pharmaceutical, specialty chemical and biochemical industries. Although batch distil...
This paper treats the solution of nonlinear optimization problems involving discrete decision variables, also known as generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) or mixed-integer n...
Agent-based computing represents an exciting new synthesis both for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, more generally, Computer Science. It has the potential to significantly impro...
Using tools from discrete dynamical systems theory, we begin a systematic analysis of a distributed model of leg coordination with both biological and robotic applications. In this...
This paper introduces a fast continuous collision detection technique for polyhedral rigid bodies. As opposed to most collision detection techniques, the computation of the first ...
