The obstacle avoidance problem has been a well researched topic by many robotics researchers. We focus on one popular solution to this problem, the Curvature-Velocity Method(CVM). In Simmons’ original paper [5], differentially steered (DS) robots where not considered thoroughly. This paper presents a variation on CVM, specifically designed for DS robots. We show comparable results to that of Si...

The concept of the Zero-Knowledge Interactive Proof (ZKIP) scheme was first proposed by Goldwasser, Micali and Rackoff in 1985. Since then, many practical ZKIP schemes have been proposed. One common feature among all these schemes is that the security of the schemes is based on factoring or the discrete logarithm. In 1991, Simmons proposed an alternative practical ZKIP scheme whose security is ...

In this paper, we compute Gram determinants associated to all cell modules of Brauer algebras Bn(δ). Theoretically, we know when a cell module of Bn(δ) is equal to its simple head. This gives a solution of this long standing problem. On the occasion of Professor Gus Lehrer’s 60 birthday
