Abstract: Receding horizon optimal control problems compute the solution at each time step to operate the system on a near-optimal path. However, in many practical cases, the boundary conditions, such ...

In cryptography, there are two types of algorithms used for secure communication: symmetric and asymmetric (also known as public-key) algorithms. Symmetric algorithms use a shared secret key to ...

Geometry optimization is the procedure to locate the structure with energy or free-energy minimum in a solid or molecular system given the atomic compositions. Such a local or global minimum state is ...

Origami, the art of paper folding, is an emerging platform for mechanical metamaterials. Prior work on the design of origami-based structures has focused on simple geometric constructions for limited ...

AES encryption, or advanced encryption standard, is a type of cipher that protects the transfer of data online. Currently, AES is one of the best encryption protocols available, as it flawlessly ...

Qudit is a multi-level computational unit alternative to the conventional 2-level qubit. Compared to qubit, qudit provides a larger state space to store and process information, and thus can provide ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Arizona officials saw opportunity when Uber and other companies began testing driverless cars a few years ago. Promising to keep oversight light, they invited the companies to test ...

Experimentally mapping synaptic connections, in terms of the numbers and locations of their synapses and estimating connection probabilities, is still not a tractable task, even for small volumes of ...

Imagine that you are blindfolded inside an unknown room. You snap your fingers and listen to the room’s response. Can you hear the shape of the room? Some people can do it naturally, but can we design ...
