This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
A randomized linear expected-time algorithm for computing the zonoid depth (Dyckerhoff et al 1996, Mosler 2002) of a point with respect to a fixed dimensional point set is presente...
A scheme for general group oriented ID-based cryptosystems is proposed. This scheme allows an authorized subset in the general access structure to cooperatively decrypt the cipher...
A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
Background: The inference of homology from statistically significant sequence similarity is a central issue in sequence alignments. So far the statistical distribution function un...
