Abstract: In this paper, we apply a homotopy algorithm to the problem of finding points in a moving body that lie on specific algebraic surfaces for a given set of spatial configurations of the body. ...

Abstract: This paper numerically determines the number of real-valued inverse kinematic solutions to a constrained parallel mechanism composed of three triangular platforms. The base and middle platforms ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new computing paradigm known as a problem solving environment (PSE), explores the role this new paradigm might play in watershed management and land use change analysis, and compares PSEs to similar ...
