In design, problem analysis is as important as solution synthesis. Strategic knowledge is required not only for constructing a solution but also for framing a problem. While exter...
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, ...
Online resources of engineering design information are a critical resource for practicing engineers. These online resources often contain references and content associated with te...
Deterministic global optimization with interval analysis involves - using interval enclosures for ranges of the constraints, objective, and gradient to reject infeasible regions, r...
Being able to model contention for software resources (e.g., a critical section or database lock) is paramount to building performance models that capture all aspects of the delay...
