In this paper we provide some exact formulas for the projective dimension and the regularity of edge ideals of vertex-weighted oriented unicyclic graphs. These formulas are in function of the weight of the vertices, the numbers of edges. We…

Contraction analysis considers the distance between two adjacent trajectories. If this distance is contracting, then trajectories have the same long-term behavior. The main advantage of this analysis is that it is independent of the…

In this paper we study regularity estimates for the solution to an obstacle problem arising in stochastic impulse control theory. We prove using elementary methods the known sharp $C_{loc}^{1,1}$ estimate for the solution. The new proof is…

We develop a rigorous framework for global non-convex optimization by reformulating the minimization problem as a discounted infinite-horizon optimal control problem. For non-convex, continuous, and possibly non-smooth objective functions…

Real-world environments are inherently uncertain, and to operate safely in these environments robots must be able to plan around this uncertainty. In the context of motion planning, we desire systems that can maintain an acceptable level of…

We study an optimal stretching problem for certain convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 3$) whose boundary has points of vanishing Gaussian curvature. We prove that the optimal domain which contains the most positive (or least…
