This book explores the underlying mathematical reasons for why games and puzzles are
challenging and so much fun. It shows how games and puzzles can serve as powerful …

We introduce a simple game family, called constraint logic, where players reverse edges in
a directed graph while satisfying vertex in-flow constraints. This game family can be …

This thesis develops a framework for proving computational complexity results about motion
planning problems. The model captures reactive environments with local interaction. We …

Research focuses on robots related to area coverage applications such as cleaning,
painting, demining, lawn moving, and inspection is gaining significant momentum in recent …

This thesis contains new results on the subject of polygonal structure reconfiguration.
Specifically, the types of structures considered here are polygons, polygonal chaills …

On the occasion of the Swiss Mathematical Society's centennial, it is both an honor and a
pleasure to contribute an article to this special edition of the Elemente der Mathematik on a …

The design of mechatronic systems is an interdisciplinary task. With the introduction of the
new paradigm of self-optimization the number of domains involved in the early design …
