Source localization is of great importance for wireless sensor network applications. Locating emission sources using received signal strength (RSS) measurements is investigated in this paper. As RSS ...

Traditional motion planning approaches for multilegged locomotion divide the problem into several stages, such as contact search and trajectory generation. However, reasoning about contacts and ...

In this article, we introduce a convex combination-based distributed momentum method (CDM) for solving distributed optimization to minimize a sum of smooth and strongly convex local objective ...

The traditional projections onto convex sets super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm leads to the halo effect in reconstructed high resolution image, so we present a super-resolution ...

We introduce the concept of a control contraction metric, extending contraction analysis to constructive nonlinear control design. We derive sufficient conditions for exponential stabilizability of ...

Several countries now accept cryptocurrency as proof of funds or part of the wealth declaration for citizenship or ...

Data association, the reasoning over correspondence between targets and measurements, is a problem of fundamental importance in target tracking. Recently, belief propagation (BP) has emerged as a ...

Random projection (RP) is a classical technique for reducing storage and computational costs. We analyze RP-based approximations of convex programs, in which the original optimization problem is ...

The convex property of a nonlinear wireless power transfer (WPT) is characterized in this work. Following a nonlinear energy harvesting model, we express the relationship between the harvested direct ...

A branch flow model (BFM) is used to formulate the AC power flow in general networks. For each branch/line, the BFM contains a nonconvex quadratic equality. A mathematical formulation of its convex ...
