Based on the condition for four points to lie on the unit sphere, derived using Distance Geometry, a new mathematical formulation for the coupler curves of the RCCC linkage is presented. The relevance of this formulation ...

Autonomous systems based on the use of renewable energy (RE) have proven suitable for providing energy and sanitation services to isolated communities. However, most of these projects fail due to managerial weaknesses. ...

Two-stage stochastic models give rise to very large optimization problems. Several approaches havebeen devised for efficiently solving them, including interior-point methods (IPMs). However, usingIPMs, the linking columns ...

The numerical simulation of two-dimensional fracture processes of quasi-brittle materials by means of the Embedded Finite Element Method is dealt with. The attention is paid to the coupling with the global crack-tracking ...

The classical Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM) allows for the storage of pairs of vectors, such that when either member of the pair is presented to the BAM, the other member may be successfully recalled. This work ...

The ¿h-product that is referred in the title was introduced in 2008 as a generalization of the Kronecker product of digraphs. Many relations among labelings have been obtained since then, always using as a second factor a ...

This paper presents a new algorithm to generate hexahedral meshes in extrusion geometries. Several algorithms have been devised to generate hexahedral meshes by projecting the cap surfaces along a sweep path. In all of ...

This paper presents a set of sufficient conditions for the gate-level synthesis of speed-independent circuits when constrained to a given class of gate library. Existing synthesis methodologies are restricted to architectures ...
