This thesis deals with the numerical modeling and simulation of granular media with large populations of non-spherical particles. Granular media are highly pervasive in nature and play an important role in technology. They are present in fields as diverse ...
We consider the problem of minimization of generalized Buchi automata. We show how to extend fair simulation and delayed simulation to the case where the Buchi automaton has multiple acceptance conditions. For fair simulation, we show how to efficiently co ...
We define ``random trip", a generic mobility model for independent mobiles that contains as special cases: the random waypoint on convex or non convex domains, random walk with reflection or wrapping, city section, space graph and other models. We use Palm ...
Two of the most basic problems encountered in numerical optimization are least-squares problems and systems of nonlinear equations. The use of more and more complex simulation tools on high performance computers requires solving problems involving an incre ...

An efficient inverse kinematics solver is a key element in applications targeting the on-line or off-line postural control of complex articulated figures. In the present paper we progressively describe the strategic components of a very general and robust ...
An analytical approach allowing modelling transient phenomena in pipes, valves, surge tank and Francis turbines based on impedance method is developed. These models are introduced in a software called “SIMSEN”, which simulates the behaviour of complex appl ...
This paper proposes a new approach to the analysis of the steady-state performance of constant modulus algorithms (CMA), which are among the most popular adaptive schemes for blind equalization. A major feature of the proposed feedback approach is that it ...
This paper proposes two modifications of the filtered-x least mean squares (FxLMS) algorithm with improved convergence behavior albeit at the same computational cost of 2M operations per time step as the original FxLMS update. The paper further introduces ...
We present an efficient method for the computer simulation of granular media based on dynamic triangulations. Round and polygonal grains are considered. In both cases, we explain the theoretical principles on which the methods are based. The simulation sch ...
