چکیده

Given a matrix, the Null Space Problem asks for a basis of its null space having the fewest nonzeros. This problem is known to be NP-complete and even hard to approximate. The null space of a forest is the null space of its adjacency matrix. Sander and Sander (2005) and Akbari et al. (2006), independently, proved that the null space of each forest admits a {−1, 0, 1}-basis. We devise an algorithm for determining a sparsest basis of the null space of any given forest which, in addition, is a {−1, 0, 1}basis. Our algorithm is time-optimal in the sense that it takes time at most proportional to the number of nonzeros in any sparsest basis of the null space of the input forest. Moreover, we show that, given a forest F on n vertices, the set of those vertices x for which there is a vector in the null space of F that is nonzero at x and the number of nonzeros in any sparsest basis of the null space of F can be found in O(n) time.

A New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space

In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...

BASIS PURSUIT BASED GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION

In damage detection the number of elements is generally more than the number of measured frequencies. Consequently, the corresponding damage detection equation is undetermined and thus has infinite solutions. Since in the damaged structures most of their elements remain healthy, the sparsest solution for the damage detection equation is mostly the actual damage. In the proposed method, the dama...

Near-Minimum Time Optimal Control of Flexible Spacecraft during Slewing Maneuver

The rapid growth of space utilization requires extensive construction, and maintenance of space structures and satellites in orbit. &#10This will, in turn, substantiate application of robotic systems in space. In this paper, a near-minimum-time optimal control law is developed for a rigid space platform with flexible links during an orientating maneuver with large angle of rotation. The time op...
