On the Lassak Conjecture for a Convex Body

open access: yesМоделирование и анализ информационных систем, 2011
In 1993 M. Lassak formulated (in the equivalent form) the following conjecture. If we can inscribe a translate of the cube $[0,1]^n$ into a convex body $C \subset R^n$, then $\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{\omega_i} \geq 1$. Here $\omega_i$ denotes the width of $

On convex permutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A selection of points drawn from a convex polygon, no two with the same vertical or horizontal coordinate, yields a permutation in a canonical fashion.

Strain‐Activated Mechanical Metamaterial With Programmable Dual‐Phase Stiffness and Enhanced Energy Absorption

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A strain‐activated mechanical metamaterial is developed to achieve programmable dual‐phase stiffness through an intrinsic geometric locking mechanism. Finite element modeling and parametric analysis identify the key design parameters governing activation strain, stiffness transition, and energy absorption.

Bounding Regions to Plane Steepest Descent Curves of Quasiconvex Families

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2016
Two-dimensional steepest descent curves (SDC) for a quasiconvex family are considered; the problem of their extensions (with constraints) outside of a convex body K is studied.

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Ball and spindle convexity with respect to a convex body [PDF]

open access: yesAequationes mathematicae, 2012
Let $C\subset {\mathbb R}^n$ be a convex body. We introduce two notions of convexity associated to C. A set $K$ is $C$-ball convex if it is the intersection of translates of $C$, or it is either $\emptyset$, or ${\mathbb R}^n$. The $C$-ball convex hull of two points is called a $C$-spindle.

Identifying Physical Interactions in Contact‐Based Robot Manipulation for Learning from Demonstration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots can learn manipulation tasks from human demonstrations. This work proposes a versatile method to identify the physical interactions that occur in a demonstration, such as sequences of different contacts and interactions with mechanical constraints.

Symmetry breaking and the geometry of reduced density matrices

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
The concept of symmetry breaking and the emergence of corresponding local order parameters constitute the pillars of modern day many body physics. We demonstrate that the existence of symmetry breaking is a consequence of the geometric structure of the ...

Minimum convex partitions and maximum empty polytopes

open access: yesJournal of Computational Geometry, 2014
Let S be a set of n points in Rd. A Steiner convex partition is a tiling of conv(S) with empty convex bodies. For every integer d, we show that S admits a Steiner convex partition with at most ⌈(n-1)/d⌉ tiles.
