Evolutionary Body Building: Adaptive Physical Designs for Robots
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...

Temperature-Induced Domain Shrinking in Ising Ferromagnets Frustrated by a Long-Range Interaction
Abstract. We investigate a spin model in which a ferromagnetic shortrange interaction competes with a long-range antiferromagnetic interaction decaying spatially as 1 rd+ , d being...

Staffing of Time-Varying Queues to Achieve Time-Stable Performance
Continuing research by Jennings, Mandelbaum, Massey and Whitt (1996), we investigate methods to perform time-dependent staffing for many-server queues. Our aim is to achieve time-...

Temporal reachability graphs
While a natural fit for modeling and understanding mobile networks, time-varying graphs remain poorly understood. Indeed, many of the usual concepts of static graphs have no obvi...

Finding shortest non-trivial cycles in directed graphs on surfaces
Let D be a weighted directed graph cellularly embedded in a surface of genus g, orientable or not, possibly with boundary. We describe algorithms to compute a shortest non-contrac...
