This article provides quasi-optimal a priori error estimates for an optimal control problem constrained by an elliptic obstacle problem where the finite element discretization is carried out using the symmetric interior penalty…

Modern computer architectures support low-precision arithmetic, which present opportunities for the adoption of mixed-precision algorithms to achieve high computational throughput and reduce energy consumption. As a growing number of…

The dynamical properties of a particle in a gravitational field colliding with a rigid wall moving with piecewise constant velocity are studied. The linear nature of the wall's motion permits further analytical investigation than is…

The present paper gives a statistical adventure towards exploring the average case complexity behavior of computer algorithms. Rather than following the traditional count based analytical (pen and paper) approach, we instead talk in terms…

The exact canonical partition function of a hard disk system in a narrow quasi-one dimensional pore of given length and width is derived analytically in the thermodynamic limit. As a result the many body problem is reduced to solving two…

The fundamental goal assignment problem for a multi-robot application aims to assign a unique goal to each robot while ensuring collision-free paths, minimizing the total movement cost. A plausible algorithmic solution to this NP-hard…

We present approximation algorithms for maximum independent set of pseudo-disks in the plane, both in the weighted and unweighted cases. For the unweighted case, we prove that a local search algorithm yields a \PTAS. For the weighted case,…

The performances of braking control systems for robotic platforms, e.g., assisted and autonomous vehicles, airplanes and drones, are deeply influenced by the road-tire friction experienced during the maneuver. Therefore, the availability of…

A second-order-accurate finite volume method, hybridized by blending an extended double-flux algorithm and a traditionally conservative scheme, is developed. In this scheme, hybrid convective fluxes as well as hybrid interpolation…

In order to solve the minimization of a nonsmooth convex function, we design an inertial second-order dynamic algorithm, which is obtained by approximating the nonsmooth function by a class of smooth functions. By studying the asymptotic…

We consider the common problem setting of an elastic sphere impacting on a flexible beam. In contrast to previous studies, we analyze the modal energy distribution induced by the impact, having in mind the particular application of impact…

In this article, we present various numerical methods to solve multi-contact problems within the Non-Smooth Discrete Element Method. The techniques considered to solve the frictional unilateral conditions are based both on the bi-potential…

Accurate post-impact velocity predictions are essential in developing impact-aware manipulation strategies for robots, where contacts are intentionally established at non-zero speed mimicking human manipulation abilities in dynamic grasping…

Topology optimization problems often support multiple local minima due to a lack of convexity. Typically, gradient-based techniques combined with continuation in model parameters are used to promote convergence to more optimal solutions;…

Principled accountability for autonomous decision-making in uncertain environments requires distinguishing intentional outcomes from negligent designs from actual accidents. We propose analyzing the behavior of autonomous agents through a…

In this paper, we propose two simple yet efficient computational algorithms to obtain approximate optimal designs for multi-dimensional linear regression on a large variety of design spaces. We focus on the two commonly used optimal…

From an optimizer's perspective, achieving the global optimum for a general nonconvex problem is often provably NP-hard using the classical worst-case analysis. In the case of Cox's proportional hazards model, by taking its statistical…

We propose a new algorithm for the solution of the robust multiple-load topology optimization problem. The algorithm can be applied to any type of problem, e.g., truss topology, variable thickness sheet or free material optimization. We…

In robotics, a topological theory of motion planning was initiated by M. Farber. The multitasking motion planning problem is new and its theoretical part via topological complexity has hardly been developed, but the concrete implementations…

We present a non-iterative algorithm, FloatStepper, for coupling the motion of a rigid body and an incompressible fluid in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The purpose of the algorithm is to remove the so-called added mass…
