This paper describes some numerical experiments with variable-storage quasi-Newton
methods for the optimization of some large-scale models (coming from fluid mechanics and …

For an optimal control problem, one seeks to optimize a performance measure subject to a
set of dynamic, and possibly algebraic, constraints. The dynamic constraints may be …

Hyper-redundant (or snakelike) manipulators have many more degrees of freedom than
required to position and orient an object in space. They have been employed in a variety of …

For dynamic distributed systems modeled by partial differential equations, existing methods
of sensor location in parameter estimation experiments are either limited to one-dimensional …
