Reducing energy consumption is one of the key challenges in computing technology. One factor that contributes to high energy consumption is that all parts of the program are considered equally significant for the accuracy of the end-result.…
In this work, we study the minimal time to steer a given crowd to a desired configuration. The control is a vector field, representing a perturbation of the crowd velocity, localized on a fixed control set. We will assume that there is no…
