In recent articles we presented a general methodology for finite optimization. The new method, the Nested Partitions (NP) method, combines partitioning, random sampling, a select...
Several different uses of Newton's method in connection with the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra are pointed out. Theoretical subdivision schemes have been combined with the n...
In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm for solving the positioning problem in ad-hoc wireless networks. The method is based on the capability of the nodes to measure the ...
We investigate optimal control problems subject to mixed control-state constraints. The necessary conditions are stated in terms of a local minimum principle. By use of the Fischer...
In this paper, we study a flexible piecewise approximation technique based on the use of the idea of the partition of unity. The approximations are piecewisely defined, globally sm...
