Fast two-scale methods for eikonal equations

A Chacon, A Vladimirsky - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2012 - SIAM
Fast Marching and Fast Sweeping are the two most commonly used methods for solving the
eikonal equation. Each of these methods performs best on a different set of problems. Fast …

A fast method for approximating invariant manifolds

J Guckenheimer, A Vladimirsky - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2004 - SIAM
The task of constructing higher-dimensional invariant manifolds for dynamical systems can
be computationally expensive. We demonstrate that this problem can be locally reduced to …

Safety preserving control synthesis for sampled data systems

IM Mitchell, S Kaynama, M Chen, M Oishi - Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid …, 2013 - Elsevier
In sampled data systems the controller receives periodically sampled state feedback about
the evolution of a continuous time plant, and must choose a constant control signal to apply …

Label-setting methods for multimode stochastic shortest path problems on graphs

A Vladimirsky - Mathematics of Operations Research, 2008 - pubsonline.informs.org
Stochastic shortest path (SSP) problems arise in a variety of discrete stochastic control
contexts. An optimal solution to such a problem is typically computed using the value …

Static PDEs for time-dependent control problems

A Vladimirsky - Interfaces and Free Boundaries, 2006 - ems.press
We consider two different non-autonomous anisotropic time-optimal control problems. For
the min-time-from-boundary problem, we show that the value function is recovered as a …

Ensuring safety of nonlinear sampled data systems through reachability

IM Mitchell, M Chen, M Oishi - IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2012 - Elsevier
In sampled data systems the controller receives periodically sampled state feedback about
the evolution of a continuous time plant, and must choose a constant control signal to apply …

Semi-autonomous small unmanned aircraft systems for sampling tornadic supercell thunderstorms

JS Elston - 2011 - search.proquest.com
This work describes the development of a network-centric unmanned aircraft system (UAS)
for in situ sampling of supercell thunderstorms. UAS have been identified as a well-suited …

Risk-hedged approach for re-routing air traffic under weather uncertainty

AV Sadovsky, KD Bilimoria - 16th AIAA Aviation Technology, Integration …, 2016 - arc.aiaa.org
This paper explores a new risk-hedged approach for re-routing air traffic around forecast
convective weather. In this work, flying through a more likely weather instantiation is …

Efficient computation of separation-compliant speed advisories for air traffic arriving in terminal airspace

AV Sadovsky, D Davis… - Journal of …, 2014 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
A class of problems in air traffic management (ATM) asks for a scheduling algorithm that
supplies the air traffic services authority not only with a schedule of arrivals and departures …
