On constrained Newton linearization and multigrid for variational inequalities

Abstra t. We onsider the fast solution of a lass of large, pie ewise smooth minimization problems. For la k of smoothness, usual Newton multigrid methods annot be applied. We propose a new approa h based on a ombination of onvex minization with onstrained Newton linearization. No regularization is involved. We show global onvergen e of the resulting monotone multigrid methods and give polylogar...

A Framework for Linking Distributed Simulations Using Software Agents

Using Software Agents Linda F. Wilson, Member, IEEE, Daniel J. Burroughs, Student Member, IEEE, Anush Kumar, and Jeanne Su haritaves Abstra t|This paper presents the basi ideas behind the use of software agent te hnology for distributed simulation and data assimilation. A software agent is an autonomous omputer program that operates on behalf of someone or something. A mobile agent has the abil...

Active Balancing Using Gyroscopes for a Small Humanoid Robot

This paper describes methods used in stabilizing the walking gait of TAO-PIE-PIE, a small humanoid robot given rate feedback from two RC gyroscopes. TAO-PIE-PIE is a fully autonomous small humanoid robot (30cm tall). Although TAO-PIE-PIE uses a minimal set of actuators and sensors, it has proven itself in international competitions, winning honors at the RoboCup and FIRA HuroSot competitions in...
