In 2003, Bhuma and Goldsmith introduced a bidirectional variant of Hansen and Zilberstein’s LAO* algorithm called BLAO* for solving goal-based MDPs. BLAO* consistently ran faster than LAO* on the race-track examples used in Hansen and Zilberstein’s paper. In this paper, we analyze the performance of BLAO* in comparison with both LAO* and our newly proposed algorithm, RLAO*, the reverse LAO* sea...

There are two different physical models connecting the micro-geometry of a surface and its physical reflectance properties (BRDF). The first, Cook-Torrance, assumes geometrical optics: light is reflected and masked by the micro-facets. In this model, the BRDF depends on the probability distribution of micro-facets normals. The second, Church-Takacs, assumes diffraction by the micro-geometry. In...

This paper studies external memory bidirectional search. That is, how bidirectional search algorithms can run using external memory such as hard drives or solid state drives. While external memory algorithms have been broadly studied in unidirectional search, they have not been studied in the context of bidirectional search. We show that the primary bottleneck in bidirectional search is the que...

Here, a new bidirectional multi-input-multi-output (B-MIMO) high step-up DC/DC converter with lower losses on switch/diode is proposed as suitable for electric vehicles. The topology consists of five inputs and two outputs the battery (energy storage) considered one inputs. Due to nature topology, different scenarios it are described. In discharging mode, stored energy transferred output loads....

Multilevel inverter had been paid a lot of attention from the academia and research community in recent times due to its role high medium power applications. In this paper, detailed survey is made on recently designed multilevel find suitability inverters for particular Research performed various types such as: Symmetric, asymmetric, hybrid modularized order identify issues generating more leve...

In recent times, multilevel inverters (MLIs) have become very popular for commercial and industrial applications. Here, an eleven-level inverter its power flow control are presented. The presented topology has a lesser component count than other existing topologies, thus reducing the devices overall cost of inverter. This comprises six bidirectional switches, two DC sources, one four-quadrant s...

This paper explains step-by-step modeling and simulation of the full circuits a battery control system connected together starting from AC input source to storage system. The three-phase half-controlled rectifier has been designed convert power into DC power. In addition, two types direct current converters have used in this which are buck bidirectional DC/DC converters. These systems adjust ou...

This paper closes a definitional gap in the context of modeling cryptographic two-party channels. We note that, while most security models for channels consider exclusively unidirectional communication, real-world protocols like TLS and SSH are rather used for bidirectional interaction. The motivational question behind this paper is: Can analyses conducted with the unidirectional setting in min...

Capturing surface appearance is important for a large number of applications. Appearance of real world surfaces is dif cult to model as it varies with the direction of illumination as well as the direction from which it is viewed. Consequently, measurements of the BRDF (bidirectional reectance distribution function) have been important. In addition, many applications require measuring how the e...
