We study propagation failure using the one-dimensional scalar bistable equation with a passive "gap" region. By applying comparison principles for this type of equation, ...
Mathematical programs with nonlinear complementarity constraints are reformulated using better-posed but nonsmooth constraints. We introduce a class of functions, parameterized by...
Abstract. Despite the efficiency shown by interior-point methods in large-scale linear programming, they usually perform poorly when applied to multicommodity flow problems. The ne...
Creating artificial life forms through evolutionary robotics faces a “chicken and egg” problem: learning to control a complex body is dominated by problems specific to its s...
We first consider so-called (1,+s)-branching programs in which along every consistent path at most s variables are tested more than once. We prove that any such program computing...
