We present a method for fast collision checking that is suitable for application in motion
planning for intelligent vehicles. One of the difficulties that arises in this domain is the fact …

Packing equal circles in a circle is a classic global optimization problem that has a rich
research history and a number of relevant applications. The problem is computationally …

This research paper focuses on providing an algorithm by which (Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles) UAVs can be used to provide optimal routes for agricultural applications such as …

Many existing efforts have taken advantage of large-scale spatial-temporal data to partition
cities via constructed human interaction networks. However, few studies focus on …

Wireless personal networks such as infrared, Bluetooth, or wireless local area networks
such as Wi-Fi or a combination of both are widely used for navigation. Real-world …

We study a special type of circle covering problem, the complete cover of polygons by not
necessarily congruent circles with prescribed centres. We introduce a branch-and-bound …

Cranes are a key element in construction projects as they are the primary lifting equipment
and among the most expensive construction equipment. Thus, crane selection and location …

Coverage is an important issue in many wireless networks. In this paper, we address the
problem of node placement for ensuring complete coverage in a long belt scenario and …

We investigate the problem of covering a region in the plane with the union of m identical
balls of minimum radius. The region to be covered may be disconnected, be nonconvex …

Detecting the dominant normal directions to the decision surface is an established technique
for feature selection in high dimensional classification problems. Several approaches have …
