Zielonka's Recursive Algorithm: dull, weak and solitaire games and tighter bounds [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2013 Dull, weak and nested solitaire games are important classes of parity games, capturing, among others, alternation-free mu-calculus and ECTL* model checking problems. These classes can be solved in polynomial time using dedicated algorithms.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Single‐filament material extrusion enables spatial stiffness programming through locally controlled thermal foaming of TPU. A data‐driven G‐code framework tunes porosity from 15.7% to 40.7% and hardness from 90 to 63 Shore A within and across layers. Monolithic hands and soft actuators consequently achieve distinct programmed motions without material ...

The Subset Sum Problem: Reducing Time Complexity of NP-Completeness with Quantum Search
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two, 2012 The Subset Sum Problem is a member of the NP-complete class, so no known polynomial time algorithm exists for it. Although there are polynomial time approximations and heuristics, these are not always acceptable, yet exact-solution algorithms are ...

Algorithms for Scheduling Problems with Rejection
Tsinghua Science and TechnologyWe study scheduling problems with rejection on parallel-machine. Each job consists of a processing time, a rejection cost, and a release date. The goal is to minimize the makespan of the jobs accepted when the total rejection cost is not larger than a ...

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.
