Dynamical systems subject to intermittent contact are often modeled with piecewise-smooth contact forces. However, the discontinuous nature of the contact can cause inaccuracies in numerical results or failure in numerical ...

Dynamical systems containing contact/impact between parts can be modeled as piecewise-smooth reduced-order models. The most common example is freeplay, which can manifest as a loose support, worn hinges, or backlash. ...

This work presents a novel approach for monocular dense Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. The surface to be estimated is represented as a piecewise planar surface, defined as a group of surfels each having as parameters ...

The Nonsmooth and Discontinuous Optimal Power Flow (ND-OPF) is a large-scale, nonsmooth, discontinuous, nonconvex and multi-modal problem. In this problem, discontinuity is related to the representation of Prohibited ...

Multidimensional projection has become a standard tool for visual analysis of multidimensional data sets, as the 2D representation of multidimensional instances gives an important and informative panorama of the data. ...
