Discrete–geometric functions associated to polyhedral cones and point sets by Wang, Xinli

“…We generalize Weiszfeld’s algorithm to find μ(r) through an iteration process for r ≥ 1. We prove that the μ-curve is invariant under rigid motions, and we conjecture that the nondegenerate μ-curve is uniquely determined by a point set. …”

Developments of fundamental locally one-dimensional finite-difference time-domain methods for transmission lines and lumped elements by Yang, Zaifeng

“…Since the conventional LOD-FDTD method is of first-order accuracy only, second-order temporal-accurate scheme for 3-D FLOD-FDTD method is also introduced to improve the accuracy for LOD-FDTD method with three split matrices. The main iterations of the proposed scheme comprise only one more procedure in addition to the existing three procedures. …”

Analysis of underground rock excavations accounting for uncertainty by Liu, Huaxin

“…The reliability analysis of single limit state is then extended to the system reliability evaluation which considers the interaction among different limit states. The iterative solution for a circular tunnel reinforced by end-anchored rockbolts is used to illustrate the system reliability analysis, in which the tensile force of the rockbolt, tunnel convergence and plastic zone size are considered as three performance functions. …”

A framework of probabilistic 3D map fusion for collaborative robots by Yue, Yufeng

“…To incorporate the probability information, a novel error metric and optimization strategy need to be proposed. The Occupancy Iterative Close Point (OICP) algorithm combines positional coordinate with occupancy probability to register point cloud extracted from the 3D map. …”

Reinforced high strength concrete beams under shear by Lim, Darren Tze Yang

“…The novelty of the simplified truss method (second approach) is the ability to obtain both the inclination angle of the diagonal truss and shear strength of the beam without going through the iterative procedure of the first approach. The two proposed approaches were verified using the experimental results and existing published test data. …”
