Berndt, Alexander (author), Van Duijkeren, Niels (author), Palmieri, Luigi (author), Kleiner, Alexander (author), Keviczky, T. (author)The trajectory planning for a fleet of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) on a roadmap is commonly referred to as the multi-agent path finding (MAPF) problem, the solution to which dictates each AGV's spatial and temporal location until it reaches its goal without collision. When executing MAPF plans in dynamic workspaces, AGVs can be...journal article 2024

Ambrosini, P. (author), Azizian Amiri, S. (author), Zeestraten, Eliane (author), van Ginhoven, Tessa (author), Marroquim, Ricardo (author), van Walsum, T. (author)Purpose: For tumor resection, surgeons need to localize the tumor. For this purpose, a magnetic seed can be inserted into the tumor by a radiologist and, during surgery, a magnetic detection probe informs the distance to the seed for localization. In this case, the surgeon still needs to mentally reconstruct the position of the tumor from the...journal article 2024

McDonald, Tom (author), Tsay, Calvin (author), Schweidtmann, A.M. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author)ReLU neural networks have been modelled as constraints in mixed integer linear programming (MILP), enabling surrogate-based optimisation in various domains and efficient solution of machine learning certification problems. However, previous works are mostly limited to MLPs. Graph neural networks (GNNs) can learn from non-euclidean data...journal article 2024

Ananduta, W. (author), Grammatico, S. (author)We formulate for the first time the economic dispatch problem among prosumers in an integrated electrical and gas distribution system (IEGDS) as a game equilibrium problem. Specifically, by approximating the nonlinear gas-flow equations either with a mixed-integer second-order cone (MISOC) or a piecewise affine (PWA) model and by assuming...journal article 2024

Cipriani, A. (author), Salvi, Michele (author)Assign to each vertex of the one-dimensional torus i.i.d. weights with a heavy-tail of index τ−1>0. Connect then each couple of vertices with probability roughly proportional to the product of their weights and that decays polynomially with exponent α>0 in their distance. The resulting graph is called scale-free percolation. The goal of...journal article 2024

Bechtel, S. (author)We show L<sup>p</sup>-estimates for square roots of second order complex elliptic systems L in divergence form on open sets in R<sup>d</sup> subject to mixed boundary conditions. The underlying set is supposed to be locally uniform near the Neumann boundary part, and the Dirichlet boundary part is Ahlfors–David regular. The lower endpoint for...journal article 2024
