The problem of locating p maximally dispersed points in a convex space is considered. This problem is formulated as a non-linear programming problem. It is shown that this problem, in a square, is ...

Abstract: Usually, a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) path-planning problem is abstracted into a nonlinear optimal control model, i.e. a nonlinear programming problem. However, this kind of problem is ...

This graduate-level course provides a comprehensive computational exploration of nonlinear dynamics and chaos with a special focus on their application to fluid mechanics. The first part of the course ...

ABSTRACT: The article is devoted to decision making regarding controlling the operation of tubular gas heaters (TGH) on wood pellets. Experimental results of the study of the operation of TGH on ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a trilinear optimization formulation and four mixed integer bilinear formulations to compute the Nash equilibria of a 2-player discounted stochastic game. The ...
