Grötschel and Wakabayashi (1989) experimentally confirmed that their cutting plane algorithms for the standard formulation for the clique partitioning problem terminate when only a small fraction of constraints are added. Motivated by this result, we theoretically derive a certain class of redundant constraints in the formulation. More than half of the constraints belong to the class for some i...

model order reduction is known as the problem of minimizing the -norm of the difference between the transfer function of the original system and the reduced one. in many papers, linear matrix inequality (lmi) approach is utilized to address the minimization problem. this paper deals with defining an extra matrix inequality constraint to guarantee that the minimum phase characteristic of the sys...

In this manuscript we present an original implementation of network management functions in the context Software Defined Networking. We demonstrate a full integration artificial intelligence driven management, SDN control plane, and programmable data plane. Constraint Programming is used to implement operating system that accepts high level specifications, via northbound interface, terms operat...

Objects such as vehicles are often constrained to lie on a known plane. The ground-plane constraint reduces the problem of localisation and recognition from 6 dofto 3 dof. A novel algorithm is presented which makes effective use of the ground-plane constraint to derive pose estimates. A form of the generalised Hough transform is used to group evidence from line features, and to identify approxi...

objectives to compare an out-of-plane interscalene catheter technique to the in-plane technique in a randomized clinical trial. patients and methods eighty-four patients undergoing open shoulder surgery were randomized to either the in-plane or out-of-plane ultrasound-guided continuous interscalene technique. the primary outcome was vas pain rating at 24 hours. secondary outcomes included pain ...

This paper presents a vehicle detection method which can divide overlap vehicles. The proposed method detects vehicles by finding vertical planes above a road plane. At first, two horizontal line segments adjacent vertically are detected in the present frame. Then, corresponding line segments are searched in the previous frame by a correlation matching. If the motion of these horizontal line se...

In this paper a new sliding mode control algorithm for the third order uncertain, nonlinear and time-varying dynamic system subject to unknown disturbance and input constraint is proposed. The algorithm employs a time-varying switching plane. At the initial time t = t0, the plane passes through the point determined by the system initial conditions in the error state space. Afterwards, the plane...

This paper presents a novel method for detecting vehicles as obstacles in various road scenes using a single onboard camera. Vehicles are detected by testing whether the motion of a set of three horizontal line segments, which are always on the vehicles, satisfies the motion constraint of the ground plane or that of the surface plane of the vehicles. The motion constraint of each plane is deriv...
