Comparison of P-convexity, O-convexity and other geometrical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We study some properties of O-convex and P-convex spaces and give a new proof of the P(n)-convexity of ℓp sums of P(n)-convex spaces. Further we show using Ramsey’s theorem that the space Eβ is P-convex.

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Oligopoly Games With and Without Transferable Technologies [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper standard oligopolies are interpreted in two ways, namely as oligopolies without transferable technologies and as oligopolies with transferable technologies.From a cooperative point of view this leads to two different classes of cooperative ...

Notes on the Schur-convexity of the Extended Mean Values [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In this article, the Schur-convexities of the weighted arithmetic mean of function and the extended mean values are proved. Moreover, some inequalities involving the arithmetic mean, the harmonic mean, the logarithmic mean, and comparison between the ...

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

A note on the Serrin problem in the plane

open access: yesLe Matematiche, 2008
We investigate the stability of the radial symmetry for the overdetermined Serrin problem in a planar convex set. More precisely, we prove that, whenever we properly perturb both the boundary conditions and the data, then a convex solution is “close” to ...

Decomposition of a convex polygon into convex polygons

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics, 1979
AbstractLet P be a convex polygon of the euclidean plane, with p vertices. P shall be decomposed into ƒ convex polygons Pj(j=1,…,ƒ). A point A of the plane is a “vertex of the decomposed polygon P”, if A is a vertex of one of the Pj. Let ei(i⩾2) be the number of i-valent vertices of the decomposed polygon P.

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

Optimizing Terrain Classification Methods for the Determination of Bedrock Depth and the Average Shear Wave Velocity of Soil

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The advancement of remote sensing has enabled the creation of high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). Topographic features such as slope gradient (SG), local convexity (LC), and surface texture (ST), derived from DEMs, are related to subsurface ...
