This paper presents a general semi-analytical study of the mass efficiency coilable plate-like space structures. A bending architecture based on four diagonal booms that support parallel strips is compared to cable-stayed in which vertical and cable stays at tip. Limiting conditions global buckling, local material failure, excessive deflection define design for each architecture. Considering pr...

In this paper we present a model that is capable of learning alignments between high-dimensional data by exploiting low-dimensional structures. Specifically, our method uses a Gaussian process latent variable model (GP-LVM) to learn alignments and latent representations simultaneously. The results show that our model performs alignment implicitly and improves the smoothness of the low dimension...

— Let M be a Riemannian 4-manifold. The associated twistor space is a bundle whose total space Z admits a natural metric. The aim of this article is to study properties of complex structures on Z which are compatible with the fibration and the metric. The results obtained enable us to translate some metric properties on M (scalar flat, scalar-flat Kähler...) in terms of complex properties of it...

A novel and efficient approach for the eigenvalue assignment of large, first-order, time-invariant systems is developed using full-state feedback and output feedback. The full-state feedback approach basically consists of three steps. First, a Schur decomposition is applied to triangularize the state matrix. Second, a series of coordinate rotations (Givens rotations) is used to move the eigenva...
