By using the generalized Littlewood theorem about a contour integral involving the logarithm of an analytic function, we show how an infinite number of integral equalities involving integrals of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function and equivalent to ...
What is the longest rope on the unit sphere? Intuition tells us that the answer to this packing problem depends on the rope's thickness. For a countably infinite number of prescribed thickness values we construct and classify all solution curves. The simpl ...
A Dirichlet problem for orthogonal Hessians in two dimensions is explicitly solved, by characterizing all piecewise C-2 functions u Omega subset of R-2 -> R with orthogonal Hessian in terms of a property named "second order angle condition" as in (1 1) ...
Model-based synthesis of distributed controllers for multi-robot systems is commonly approached in either a top-down or bottom-up fashion. In this paper, we investigate the experimental challenges of both approaches, with a special emphasis on resource-con ...
This paper describes a two-sweep control design method to stabilize the acrobot, an input-affine under-actuated system, at the upper equilibrium point. In the forward sweep, the system is successively reduced, one dimension at a time, until a two-dimensiona ...
The direct load transmission behavior of hybrid sandwich beams consisting of a bottom fiber-reinforced polymer skin and a top concrete skin was investigated experimentally. The sandwich core consisted of lightweight concretes of different brittleness (sand ...
