This article addresses the problem of two- and higher dimensional pattern matching, i.e. the identification of instances of a template within a larger signal space, which is a for...
For finite dimensional nonlinear control systems we study the relation between asymptotic null-controllability and control Lyapunov functions. It is shown that control Lyapunov fun...
The belief decision tree (BDT) approach is a decision tree in an uncertain environment where the uncertainty is represented through the Transferable Belief Model (TBM), one interp...
Harmonic functions provide optimal potential maps for robot navigation in a previously explored static environment. Here we investigate the performance of an algorithm for explora...
