This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyhedral and Algebraic Methods in Computational Geometry provides a thorough introduction into algorithmic geometry and its applications. It presents its primary topics from the viewpoints of discrete, convex and elementary algebraic geometry. The first part of the book studies classical problems and techniques that refer to polyhedral structures. The authors include a study on algorithms for computing convex hulls as well as the construction of Voronoi diagrams and Delone triangulations. The second part of the book develops the primary concepts of (non-linear) computational algebraic geometry. Here, the book looks at Gröbner bases and solving systems of polynomial equations. The theory is illustrated by applications in computer graphics, curve reconstruction and robotics. Throughout the book, interconnections between computational geometry and other disciplines (such as algebraic geometry, optimization and numerical mathematics) are established. Polyhedral and Algebraic Methods in Computational Geometry is directed towards advanced undergraduates in mathematics and computer science, as well as towards engineering students who are interested in the applications of computational geometry.

Book excerpt: Many polytopes of practical interest have enormous output complexity and are often highly degenerate, posing severe difficulties for known general-purpose algorithms. They are, however, highly structured, and attention has turned to exploiting this structure, particularly symmetry. Initial applications of this approach have permitted computations previously far out of reach, but much remains to be understood and validated experimentally. The papers in this volume give a good snapshot of the ideas discussed at a Workshop on Polyhedral Computation held at the CRM in Montreal in October 2006 and, with one exception, the current state of affairs in this area. The exception is the inclusion of an often cited 1980 technical report of Norman Zadeh, which was never published in a journal and has passed into the folklore of the discipline. This paper illustrates beautifully the work still to be done in the field: it gives a simple pivot rule for the simplex method for which it is still unknown if it yields a polynomial time algorithm.

Download or read book Hybrid Systems Computation and Control written by Frits W. Vaandrager and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-05-21 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC’99) to be held March 29- 31, 1999, in the village Berg en Dal near Nijmegen, The Netherlands. The rst workshop of this series was held in April 1998 at the University of California at Berkeley. The series follows meetings that were initiated by Anil Nerode at Cornell University. The proceedings of those meetings were published in the Springer-Verlag LNCS Series, Volumes 736, 999, 1066, 1201, and 1273. The p- ceedings of the rst workshop of the new series was published in LNCS 1386. The focus of the workshop is on modeling, control, synthesis, design, and ve- cation of hybrid systems. A hybrid system is a theoretical model for a computer controlled engineering system, with a dynamics that evolves both in a discrete state set and in a family of continuous state spaces. Research is motivated by, for example, control of electro-mechanical systems (robots), air tra c control, control of automated freeways, and chemical process control. The emerging - search area of hybrid systems overlaps both with computer science and with control theory. The interaction between researchers from these elds is expected to be fruitfull for the development of the area of hybrid systems.

Download or read book Large Scale Methods to Enumerate Extreme Rays and Elementary Modes b w Print written by Marco Terzer and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major challenge in systems biology is to improve the understanding of complex metabolic networks. Here, we focus on structural analysis since it requires mainly reaction stoichiometries, in contrary to detailed dynamic methods that are often limited by insufficient knowledge on mechanisms and parameters. Thermodynamic reaction constraints and the steady state assumption reduce the solution space for valid reaction fluxes to a convex polyhedral cone. Pathway analysis methods aim at finding a unique generating set for the flux cone---called extreme rays or elementary modes. We describe critical aspects for an efficient implementation of the double description method for large scale application. The efficiency of introduced techniques is demonstrated with large application examples from combinatorics and systems biology.

This book was released on 2005-11-24 with total page 1226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the proceedings of the 2005 IFIP International Conference on - bedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC 2005), which was held in Nagasaki, Japan, December 6–9, 2005. Embedded and ubiquitous computing is emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm to provide computing and communication services all the time, - erywhere. Its systems are now pervading every aspect of life to the point that they are hidden inside various appliances or can be worn unobtrusively as part of clothing and jewelry. This emergence is a natural outcome of research and technological advances in embedded systems, pervasive computing and c- munications, wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing and agent technologies, etc. Its tremendous impact on academics, industry, gove- ment, and daily life can be compared to that of electric motors over the past century, in fact it but promises to revolutionize life much more profoundly than elevators, electric motors or even personal computers. The EUC 2005 conference provided a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address profound issues including te- nical challenges, safety, and social, legal, political, and economic issues, and to present and discuss their ideas, results, work in progress, and experience on all aspects of embedded and ubiquitous computing.
