A Two Level Approximation Technique for Structural Optimization
This work presents a method for optimum design of structures, where the design variables can he considered as Continuous or discrete. The variables are chosen as sizing variables as well as coordinates of joints. The main idea is to reduce the number of structural analyses and the overal cost of optimization. In each design cycle, first the structural response quantities such as forces, displac...
متن کاملImproving Piecewise-linear Approximation by Relaxing on End Point Constraint
We consider the problem of approximating a polygonal curve P with n vertices by a sequence Q of m line segments, where m ≤ n−1. The goal is to minimize the error between P and Q under certain metric. Previously the problem was solved by constraining the line segments of Q to be sequentially connected and their end points be from P . In this paper we remove the end point constraint to achieve a ...
متن کاملSingle-Point Visibility Constraint Minimum Link Paths in Simple Polygons
We address the following problem: Given a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices and two points $s$ and $t$ inside it, find a minimum link path between them such that a given target point $q$ is visible from at least one point on the path. The method is based on partitioning a portion of $P$ into a number of faces of equal link distance from a source point. This partitioning is essentially a shor...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithm for Two-circle Point Labeling
Given a set P of n points in the plane, the two-circle point-labeling problem consists of placing 2n uniform, non-intersecting, maximum-size open circles such that each point touches exactly two circles. It is known that this problem is NP-hard to approximate. In this paper we give a simple algorithm that improves the best previously known approximation factor from 4 1+ √ 33 ≈ 0.5931 to 2 3 . T...
متن کاملA multiscale two-point flux-approximation method
A large number of multiscale finite-volume methods have been developed over the past decade to compute conservative approximations to multiphase flow problems in heterogeneous porous media. In particular, several iterative and algebraic multiscale frameworks that seek to reduce the fine-scale residual towards machine precision have been presented. Common for all such methods is that they rely o...
