For centuries, the Pythagorean Theorem has occupied a unique position in mathematics: both elementary and profound. Its ...

Abstract: Continuous piecewise affine (PWA) functions arise in many aspects of control. For this kind of function, we propose the minimal conjunctive normal expression (CNE). The CNE can be expressed ...

Most people probably don’t think of mathematics when they hear “busy beavers.” But these eager little animals symbolize one of the most amazing concepts of the knotty field: not everything can be ...

What if instead of defining a mesh as a series of vertices and edges in a 3D space, you could describe it as a single function? The easiest function would return the signed distance to the closest ...

A python implementation of the algorithm used to generate optimal piecewise linear approximations of convex functions proposed by Imamoto and Tang [1]. The algorithm uses an iterative search to find ...

Abstract: The class of max-plus-linear systems can model discrete event systems with synchronization but no choice. Model mismatch and/or disturbances can be characterized as stochastic uncertainties.
