We study orbit-finite systems of linear equations, in the setting of sets with atoms. Our principal contribution is a decision procedure for solvability of such systems. The procedure works for every field (and even commutative ring) under…
We address a fundamental challenge in space mission design and space logistics: planning interplanetary trajectories for missions that must rendezvous with multiple bodies. Such mission occur, for instance, in active debris removal,…
A stabilized Lagrange multiplier method for second order elliptic interface problems is presented in the framework of mortar method. The requirement of LBB (Ladyzhenskaya-Babu\v{s}ka-Brezzi) condition for mortar method is alleviated by…
We introduce a -- somewhat holographic -- dictionary between gravitational observables for scattering processes (measured at the "boundary") and adiabatic invariants for bound orbits (in the "bulk"), to all orders in the Post-Minkowskian…
Consider the scattering of a time-harmonic plane wave by a rigid obstacle embedded in a homogeneous and isotropic elastic medium in two dimensions. In this paper, a novel boundary integral formulation is proposed and its highly accurate…
We solve by Chebyshev spectral collocation some genuinely nonlinear Liouville-Bratu-Gelfand type, 1D and a 2D boundary value problems. The problems are formulated on the square domain $[-1, 1]\times[-1, 1]$ and the boundary condition…
State-of-the-art techniques for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) employ iterative nonlinear optimization methods to compute an estimate for robot poses. While these techniques often work well in practice, they do not provide…
This article solves an optimal control problem arising in attitude control of a spacecraft under state and control constraints. We first derive the discrete-time attitude dynamics by employing discrete mechanics. The orientation transfer,…
Three analytic solutions to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the time-dependent Landau-Zener Hamiltonian are presented. They correspond to specific finite-time driving paths in a bounded parameter space of a two-level system. Two of these…
A new, second-order solution in curvilinear coordinates is introduced for the relative motion of two spacecraft on eccentric orbits. The second-order equations for unperturbed orbits are derived in spherical coordinates with true anomaly as…
The Kepler-Heisenberg problem is that of determining the motion of a planet around a sun in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group. The sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian provides the kinetic energy, and the gravitational potential is given by the…
When a group acts on a set, it naturally partitions it into orbits, giving rise to orbit problems. These are natural algorithmic problems, as symmetries are central in numerous questions and structures in physics, mathematics, computer…
This paper addresses an optimal control problem for a robot that has to find and collect a finite number of objects and move them to a depot in minimum time. The robot has fourth-order dynamics that change instantaneously at any pick-up or…
We review some recent progress on the research of the periodic orbits of the N-body problem,and propose a numerical scheme to determine the spatial doubly-symmetric periodic orbits (SDSPs for short). Both comet- and lunar-type SDSPs in the…
We characterize the set of optimal protocols for two-qubit entangling gates through a mechanism analysis based on quantum pathways, which allows us to compare and rank the different solutions. As an example of a flexible platform with a…
In this paper, we investigate a special case of the static aircraft landing problem (ALP) with the objective to optimize landing sequences and landing times for a set of air planes. The problem is to land the planes on one or multiple…
The qubit routing problem, also known as the swap minimization problem, is a (classical) combinatorial optimization problem that arises in the design of compilers of quantum programs. We study the qubit routing problem from the viewpoint of…
Using the variational approach and the critical point theory, we established several criteria for the existence of at least one nontrivial solution for a discrete elliptic boundary value problem with a weight $p(\cdot, \cdot)$ and depending…
We propose two algorithms to provide a full preliminary orbit of an Earth-orbiting object with a number of observations lower than the classical methods, such as those by Laplace and Gauss. The first one is the Virtual debris algorithm,…
We construct an efficient numerical scheme for solving obstacle problems in divergence form. The numerical method is based on a reformulation of the obstacle in terms of an L1-like penalty on the variational problem. The reformulation is an…
