Loop topological complexity
Journal Title: Bulletin of Computational Applied Mathematics (Bull CompAMa) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
We introduce here the notion of loop motion planning algorithms and show that it yields to a homotopical invariant: the loop topological complexity, denoted throughout this paper by $\rm{TC}^{\rm{LP}}(-)$, which measures the algorithmic complexity of the motion of a drone as, for example, an unmanned airplane or a guided TV camera. Our main result states that $\rm{TC}(-) = \rm{TC}^{\rm{LP}}(-)$, where $\rm{TC}$ denotes the ordinary topological complexity introduced by M. Farber. Some interesting applications will emerge and will be discussed.

(Free) Software for general partial differential equation problems in non-rectangular 2D and 3D regions
PDE2D is a general-purpose partial differential equation solver which solves very general systems of nonlinear, steady-state, time-dependent and eigenvalue PDEs in 1D intervals, general 2D regions (see Figure 1), and a w...
Uniform Stability and Boundedness of a Kind of Third Order Delay Differential Equations
By constructing a Lyapunov functional, we obtain some sufficient conditions which guarantee the stability and boundedness of solutions for some nonlinear differential equations of third order with delay. Our results impr...
Integrating Fuzzy Formal Concept Analysis and Rough Set Theory for the Semantic Web
Formal Concept Analysis and Rough Set Theory provide two mathematical frameworks in information management which have been developed almost independently in the past. Currently, their integration is revealing very intere...
A positive spectral gradient-like method for large-scale nonlinear monotone equations
In this work, we proposed a combine form of a positive spectral gradient-like method and projection method for solving nonlinear monotone equations. The spectral gradient-like coefficient is obtained using a convex combi...
