Abstract: For autonomous navigation systems, effective path planning in complex environments is critical. The widely used artificial potential field (APF) method, though simple and intuitive, has ...

This paper considers the problem of finding an optimal order for entanglement swapping in a heterogeneous path of quantum repeaters so as to maximize the path throughput defined as the delivery rate ...

Yes the darkest day of the year is here, but that means brighter days are ahead. Sunday is the shortest day of the year north of the equator, where the solstice marks the start of astronomical winter.

Today marks the shortest day and longest night of the year as the sun reaches its lowest point in the Northern Hemisphere sky. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the shortest path planning of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in complicated marine environments. A novel path planning method called “sunlight algorithm” is first ...

With temperatures hovering around 30 degrees at kickoff on Sunday, it was a cold day in Philadelphia, but the good news for Eagles fans is that they didn't have to sit around in the cold weather for ...

GOLF’s latest ranking of Top 100 Courses in the World features plenty of familiar names, from Augusta National and Pine Valley to Cypress Point and Pebble Beach. But tucked amid those icons are lesser ...
