Abstract: Model-based approaches to the planning or control of robot locomotion or manipulation requires the solution of complementarity problems that model intermittent contact. Fixed-point iteration ...

Abstract: In teaching simulation, the Buffon's needle is a popular experiment to use for designing a Monte Carlo simulation to approximate the number π. Simulating the Buffon's needle experiment is a ...

Newton's method is actually a special case of what is generally known as a fixed point method. These methods rely on the Fixed point Theorem: ...
