The difficulties with the simple shooting method for the solution of ordinary differential boundary value problems are well known, and there have been many suggested modifications to overcome them. Notable among them are the discrete orthonormalization process of Godunov and Conte (1966), the multiple shooting method (Keller(1968) and Osborne(1969)) and the Riccati transformation method (Scott(...

We present an efficient landmark shooting algorithm for template matching and its applications. The novelties of the algorithm include the use of a constant matrix to update the search direction of the geodesic shooting, instead of the traditional methods of forwardbackward integration for updating the gradient or Newton’s optimization, and the use of a non-smooth conic kernel for the particle ...

The present study investigated the neural responses to errors in a shooting game - and how these neural responses may relate to behavioral performance - by examining the ERP components related to error detection (error-related negativity; ERN) and error awareness (error-related positivity; Pe). The participants completed a Shooter go/no-go task, which required them to shoot at armed targets usi...

In the present study, field goal shooting skills of female basketball players were assessed in the background to their reasoning ability. The sample consists of 100 female intercollegiate basketball players (age = 21.05±1.67 yrs.). Shooting skills reasoning ability were assessed by Johnson’s “Basketball Field Goal Speed Shooting Test” and Mixed Type Group Test of Intelligence prepared by Mehr...

Abstract In this paper, the ascent trajectory optimization of a lifting body Single-Stage To Orbit (SSTO) reusable launch vehicle is investigated. The work carried out using Direct Multiple Shooting method to solve Optimal Control problem. crucial initialisation optimisation process performed by combination two evolutionary algorithms, namely Multi-Objective Parzen-based Estimation Distribution...

The Characteristic Bisection Method for finding the roots of non-linear algebraic and/or transcendental equations is applied to LiNC/LiCN molecular system to locate periodic orbits and to construct the continuation/bifurcation diagram of the bend mode family. The algorithm is based on the Characteristic Polyhedra which define a domain in phase space where the topological degree is not zero. The...

The robot soccer game based complex motion control has been widely studied for the moving object capture and shooting. A position prediction algorithm based on global vision is introduced in order to improve the accuracy and robustness of the vision system for tracking moving objects, including a Kalmanfiter, a dynamic window and an obstacle avoidance strategy. This paper deals with the positon...
