, 2020 We study the problem of testing whether there exists a time at which two entities moving along different piece-wise linear trajectories among polygonal obstacles are mutually visible. We study several variants, depending on whether or not the obstacles form a simple polygon, trajectories may intersect the polygon edges, and both or only one of the ...

Kidney Function Trajectories With Mechanical Circulatory Support
Kidney International ReportsIntroduction: Adverse long-term kidney outcomes with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are common but little understood. Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is used clinically in this setting; however, it is of uncertain ...

Trajectory-Based Dynamic Programming
, 2018 This paper reviews a variety of ways to use trajectory optimization to accelerate dynamic programming. Dynamic programming provides a way to design globally optimal control laws for nonlinear systems. However, the curse of dimensionality, the exponential

Multi-agent collaborative search : an agent-based memetic multi-objective optimization algorithm applied to space trajectory design [PDF]
, 2011 This article presents an algorithm for multi-objective optimization that blends together a number of heuristics. A population of agents combines heuristics that aim at exploring the search space both globally and in a neighbourhood of each agent.
