Abstract: In this brief, we give a new proof of the asymptotic convergence of the sequential minimum optimization (SMO) algorithm for both the most violating pair and second order rules to select the ...

Evolution deniers are often asking for proof of evolution. Science, they are told, does not work on proof but on evidence. Now I’m not going to rehash all of that today, what I thought might be more ...

Abstract: This paper presents an X-in-Loop test platform designed for the Proof-of-Concept testing of intelligent braking ECPBS in commercial vehicle. Firstly, the concept of intelligent braking is ...

It is nearly inevitable that bugs will appear in a codebase during software development. To catch these bugs before they lead to real-world consequences, the formal verification community has ...

While there have been some notable successes with program verification systems, a the use of such systems is still perceived as a niche activity for the most critical and specialized projects. 1, 23, ...

1 On our inability to do much. 4 On the reliability of mechanisms. 8 On our mental aids. 15 An example of a correctness proof. 19 On the validity of proofs versus the validity of implementations. 21 ...

Fred Meyer, Walgreens, McDonald’s, and Burger King are among the new retailers letting you get food in reusable packaging that you return for reuse. If you walk into a Fred Meyer supermarket in ...

This article provides a theory for provably safe and computationally efficient distributed constrained control, and describes an application to a swarm of nano-quadrotors with limited on-board ...

Cukor’s female films include My Fair Lady (1964), Les Girls (1957) and The Actress (1953). My more modest efforts include Ladies in Black (2018) — ladies working in a department store, Flint (2017) — ...
