Inspired by the success of control barrier functions (CBFs) in addressing safety, and rise data-driven techniques for modeling functions, we propose a non-parametric approach online synthesis CBFs using Gaussian Processes (GPs). A dynamical system is defined to be safe if subset its states remains within prescribed set, also called <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xl...

Mixed-integer polynomial programming (MIPP) problems are one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems where objective function and constraints are restricted to the polynomial functions. Although the MINLP problem is NP-hard, in special cases such as MIPP problems, an efficient algorithm can be extended to solve it. In this research, we propose an algorit...

in the course of the present study, the results of parametric approach are compared with those obtained through fuzzy approach using ahp as well as multivariate regression methods for comparisons and investigating the efficiency of the fuzzy method as applied in land suitability assessments. the correlation coefficients between land index and observed yield in the study area through fuzzy appro...

Most of the previous research on term weighting for information retrieval has focused on developing specialized parametric term weighting functions. Examples include TF.IDF vector-space formulations, BM25, and language modeling weighting. Each of these term weighting functions takes on a specific parametric form. While these weighting functions have proven to be highly effective, they impose st...
