Principles of Robot Motion: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementations
Howie Choset,Jean-Claude Latombe +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mathematical underpinnings of robot motion are discussed and a text that makes the low-level details of implementation to high-level algorithmic concepts is presented.

Optimization by Direct Search: New Perspectives on Some Classical and Modern Methods ∗
TL;DR: This review begins by briefly summarizing the history of direct search methods and considering the special properties of problems for which they are well suited, then turns to a broad class of methods for which the underlying principles allow general-ization to handle bound constraints and linear constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nonsmooth version of Newton's method
TL;DR: It is shown that the gradient function of the augmented Lagrangian forC2-nonlinear programming is semismooth, and the extended Newton's method can be used in the augmentedlagrangian method for solving nonlinear programs.
Book
Aggregation Functions: A Guide for Practitioners
TL;DR: A broad introduction into the topic of aggregation functions, and provides a concise account of the properties and the main classes of such functions, including classical means, medians, ordered weighted averaging functions, Choquet and Sugeno integrals, triangular norms, conorms and copulas, uninorms, nullnorms, and symmetric sums.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of bilevel optimization
TL;DR: This paper presents fields of application, focus on solution approaches, and makes the connection with MPECs (Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints), a branch of mathematical programming of both practical and theoretical interest.
