In this paper we introduce the class of co de nite set constraints This is a natural sub class of set constraints which when satis able have a greatest solution It is practically motivated by the set based analysis of logic programs with the greatest model semantics We present an algorithm solving co de nite set constraints and show that their satis a bility problem is DEXPTIME complete

This paper reviews advances in Newton quasi Newton and conjugate gradi ent methods for large scale optimization It also describes several packages developed during the last ten years and illustrates their performance on some practical problems Much attention is given to the concept of partial separa bility which is gaining importance with the arrival of automatic di erentiation tools and of opt...

The concepts of stability attractivity and asymptotic sta bility for systems subject to restrictions of the input values are intro duced and analyzed in terms of Lyapunov functions A comparison with the well known input to state stability property introduced by Sontag is provided We use these concepts in order to derive su cient conditions for global stabilization for triangular and feedforward...

Since Kugelberg in 1952 originally described two components of the blink reflex, the initial component was considered to be a proprioceptive or a myotatic reflex because it was briefer in duration and more These reflexes were recorded from the orbicularis oculi muscle and were elicited by tapping the glabella or stimulating the supraorbital nerve percutaneously. During a detailed study of human...

The preservation of culture, language and history is recognised as being of crucial importance for future and current generations. Africa, especially, has the unique problem of needing to archive many collections of crucial significance to the world, yet without the skills or funds that often are utilised in this pursuit. The Bleek and Lloyd collection, that documents Bushman culture, and the D...

This paper presents and analyzes a high-performance, robust, and scalable scheduling algorithm for input-queued switches called distributed sequential allocation (DISA). In contrast to pointer-based arbitration schemes, the proposed algorithm is based on a synchronized output reservation process, whereby each input selects a designated output while taking into consideration both local transmiss...
