A method of {\it topological grammars} is proposed for multidimensional data approximation. For data with complex topology we define a {\it principal cubic complex} of low dimension and given complexity that gives the best approximation for…
We consider a network topology design problem in which an initial undirected graph underlying the network is given and the objective is to select a set of edges to add to the graph to optimize the coherence of the resulting network. We show…
This is a chapter in the Encyclopedia of Robotics. It is devoted to the study of complexity of complete (or exact) algorithms for robot motion planning. The term ``complete'' indicates that an approach is guaranteed to find the correct…
We survey interactions between the topology and the combinatorics of complex hyperplane arrangements. Without claiming to be exhaustive, we examine in this setting combinatorial aspects of fundamental groups, associated graded Lie algebras,…
Linear programming is a powerful method in combinatorial optimization with many applications in theory and practice. For solving a linear program quickly it is desirable to have a formulation of small size for the given problem. A useful…
We determine the topological complexity of unordered configuration spaces on almost all punctured surfaces (both orientable and non-orientable). We also give improved bounds for the topological complexity of unordered configuration spaces…
We define the topological multiplicity of an invertible topological system $(X,T)$ as the minimal number $k$ of real continuous functions $f_1,\cdots, f_k$ such that the functions $f_i\circ T^n$, $n\in\mathbb Z$, $1\leq i\leq k,$ span a…
Hyperplane arrangements form the latest addition to the zoo of combinatorial objects dealt with by polymake. We report on their implementation and on a algorithm to compute the associated cell decomposition. The implemented algorithm…
The $s$-th higher topological complexity of a space $X$, $TC_s(X)$, can be estimated from above by homotopical methods, and from below by homological methods. We give a thorough analysis of the gap between such estimates when $X=RP^m$, the…
Manifolds occur naturally as configuration spaces of robotic systems. They provide global descriptions of local coordinate systems that are common tools in expressing positions of robots. The purpose of this survey is threefold. Firstly, we…
We present a linear time algorithm for the minimum linear arrangement problem on proper interval graphs. The obtained ordering is a 4-approximation for general interval graphs
We study the sets of planes in an even dimensional real vector space $V$ which are simultaneously stabilised by a pair of complex structures on $V$. We completely describe these sets of planes for pairs of orthogonal complex structures.…
We present an algorithm to compute planar linkage topology and geometry, given a user-specified end-effector trajectory. Planar linkage structures convert rotational or prismatic motions of a single actuator into an arbitrarily complex…
We construct a new class of maximal acyclic matchings on the Salvetti complex of a locally finite hyperplane arrangement. Using discrete Morse theory, we then obtain an explicit proof of the minimality of the complement. Our construction…
We compute the integral homology and cohomology groups of configuration spaces of two distinct points on a given real projective space. The explicit answer is related to the (known multiplicative structure in the) integral cohomology---with…
We are dealing with the problem of space layout planning here. We present an architectural conceptual CAD approach. Starting with design specifications in terms of constraints over spaces, a specific enumeration heuristics leads to a…
We study the Z/2-equivariant K-theory of the complement of the complexification of a real hyperplane arrangement. We compute the rational K and KO rings, and give two different combinatorial descriptions of the subring of the integral KO…
To a generic hypersurface in the affine torus $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ we associate a hypersurface arrangement in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ consisting of the $n+1$ coordinate hyperplanes and a generic hypersurface, and compute the…
In this paper, we transfer the problem of measuring navigational complexity in topological spaces to the nearness theory. We investigate the most important component of this problem, the topological complexity number (denoted by TC), with…
We compute the topological complexity of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces associated to the group of automorphisms of a finitely generated free group which act by conjugation on a given basis, and to certain subgroups.
