We study the complexity of cost-optimal classical planning over propositional state variables and unary-effect actions. We discover novel problem fragments for which such optimization is tractable, and identify certain conditions that differentiate between tractable and intractable problems. These results are based on exploiting both structural and syntactic characteristics of planning problems. Specifically, following Brafman and Domshlak (2003), we relate the complexity of planning and the topology of the causal graph. The main results correspond to tractability of cost-optimal planning for propositional problems with polytree causal graphs that either have O(1)-bounded in-degree, or are induced by actions having at most one prevail condition each. Almost all our tractability results are based on a constructive proof technique that connects between certain tools from planning and tractable constraint optimization, and we believe this technique is of interest on its own due to a clear evidence for its robustness.

In this research, we continue studying limit theorems for combinatorial numbers satisfying a class of triangular arrays. Using the general results of Hwang and Bender, we obtain a constructive proof of the central limit theorem, specifying the rate of convergence to the limiting (normal) distribution, as well as a new proof of the local limit theorem for the numbers of the tribonacci triangle.

AbstractA constructive proof is given which shows that every nonrecursive r.e. many-one degree is represented by the family of decision problems for partial implicational propositional calculi whose well-formed formulas contain at most two distinct variable symbols.

Hysteresis poses a significant challenge for control of smart material actuators. If unaccommodated, the hysteresis can result in oscillation, poor tracking performance, and potential instability when the actuators are incorporated in control design. To overcome these problems, a fundamental idea in coping with hysteresis is inverse compensation based on the Preisach model. In this paper, we address systematically the problem of Preisach model inversion and its properties, employing the technique of three-step composition mapping and geometric interpretation of the Preisach model. A Preisach right inverse is achieved via the iterative algorithm proposed, which possesses same properties with the Preisach model. Finally, comparative experiments are performed on a piezoelectric stack actuator (PEA) to test the efficacy of the compensation scheme based on the Preisach right inverse.
