An efficient Newton-Raphson based form-finding method for tensegrity structures with given strut forces and cable force density

Tensegrity structures are geometric nonlinear systems and statically and kinematically indeterminate structures that require an initial shape-finding procedure to establish a self-equilibrium state.

A Voronoi-Based Mixed-Integer Gauss-Newton Algorithm for MINLP Arising in Optimal Control

Abstract: We present a new algorithm for addressing nonconvex Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programs (MINLPs) where the cost function is of nonlinear least squares form. We exploit this structure by ...
