Computing the three-dimensional convex hull [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The program tetra computes the three-dimensional convex hull of a set of n points in (x, y, z) space. The input consists of the coordinates of the points and the output is the identification numbers of the points that are on the convex hull.

Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Convex approximations for complete integer recourse models [PDF]

open access: yes
We consider convex approximations of the expected value function of a two-stage integer recourse problem. The convex approximations are obtained by perturbing the distribution of the random right-hand side vector.

A chaotic random convex hull [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceThe asymptotic behavior of the expected size of the convex hull of uniformly random points in a convex body in Rd is polynomial for a smooth body and polylogarithmic for a polytope.

The Two Variable Per Inequality Abstract Domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This article presents the Two Variable Per Inequality abstract domain (TVPI domain for short). This so-called weakly-relational domain is able to express systems of linear inequalities where each inequality has at most two variables.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Input, Output and Graph Technical Efficiency Measures on Non-Convex FDH Models with Various Scaling Laws: An Integrated Approach Based upon Implicit Enumeration Algorithms [PDF]

open access: yes
In a recent article, Briec, Kerstens and Vanden Eeckaut (2004) develop a series of nonparametric, deterministic non-convex technologies integrating traditional returns to scale assumptions into the non-convex FDH model. They show, among other things, how

Tracking Star-forming Cores as Mass Reservoirs in Clustered and Isolated Regions Using Numerical Passive Tracer Particles

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the physical properties of star-forming cores as mass reservoirs for protostars and the impact of turbulence is crucial in star formation studies.
