Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

There are three main types of mechanical switches: clicky, linear, and tactile. Here are examples and sound tests of a variety of each kind. Clicky Vs Tactile Vs Linear Mechanical Keyboard Switches ...

My graduate studies included learning about constraint-based optimization algorithms (such as linear programming) and ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Abstract: In this article, the data-driven optimal control problem is addressed for discrete-time linear periodic systems with unknown system dynamics. To reduce the number of iterations required by ...

Standard computer implementations of Dantzig's simplex method for linear programming are based upon forming the inverse of the basic matrix and updating the inverse ...

Abstract: In this work, we extend the simplex algorithm of linear programming for finding a local minimum of a concave quadratic function subject to box constraints. In order to test the performance ...
