In pursuit of high resolution radar using pursuit algorithms
… to the close relation between greedy matching pursuit algorithms and the matched filter. This suggests that improvements to the resolution capability of the greedy pursuit algorithms can be made by using a mismatched signal dictionary. In some cases, unlike the mismatched filter, the proposed …

Steering Laws for Pursuit
Pursuit problems have attracted considerable attention from biologists, mathematicians and engineers. Guidance/steering laws are essential in robotic systems. In this thesis, we first review the results on steering laws for a specific pursuit process, motion camouflage with respect to infinity. …

In pursuit of sound
Architectural tools are built around visualizing our environment, however it is sound that paints the most accurate picture of our experiences. A glass wall feels more constricting than a opaque sheet, because when sound can reach our ears, our worlds are opened up. It is time that we leverage the …

Pursuit of the Principalship
The school principal is one factor in student success. As the number of principals needed increases (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2008) and the number of principals eligible to retire rises (Briggs, Cheney, Davis, and Moll, 2013), there is concern about a potential shortage of applicants. This …

Relationship Predictors of Unwanted Pursuit
… relationship variables related to unwanted pursuit post dissolution of a romantic relationship. Online surveys were administered to 277 undergraduate and graduate students from a large southeastern university. Participants completed questionnaires that assessed levels of idealization, …

Optimal control problems, curves of pursuit
We study a class of problems known as pursuit-evasion problems (PE). These problems can be understood as special cases of optimal control problems. After describing the two main principles to study optimal control problems, namely Pontryagin's maximum principle and Bellman's method of dynamic …

In Pursuit of Extraordinarily Twisted Acenes
Longitudinally twisted acenes are a topologically interesting class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and it could be argued that they have quite beautiful chemical structures, too. X-ray crystal analysis of many of these acenes has found them to adopt a helical conformation where the …

The Determinants of Successful Goal Pursuit
Goal pursuit is ubiquitous in everyday life, which has subsequently led to the proliferation of a multitude of theories and perspectives on what constitutes successful goal pursuit. While all of this work is indeed a testament to the centrality of goals in the context of motivational psychology, …

Unbounded unimodal search and pursuit problems
… if capture is possible is obtained for discrete pursuit problems. Similar techniques lead to new complexity results on some combinatorial games. Upper and lower bounds on the time for capture are developed for the continuous Lion-Man problem.

Pursuit-evasion games in mobile networks
… in this area, we model the intrusion as a pursuit-evasion game in continuous time and space. We model the intruder as an antagonistic agent and apply tools from differential game theory in order to obtain the optimal motion strategies for the agents to track the intruder as well as evade …

The Influence of Money on Goal Pursuit and Decision-Making: Understanding Money's Unique Impact on Goal Pursuit
… dissertation, I investigate how money affects pursuit of important personal goals, and how this motivation may be affected by goal attainability. In eight studies, I show that priming concepts of money and wealth leads individuals to pursue important personal goals to a greater degree than …

Multi-agent Coordination Algorithms for Pursuit-Evasion
… intelligence is a paramount concern. Based on pursuit-evasion games, this thesis investigates the safe distributed implicit coordination of large-scale multi-agent systems, as some self-organizing systems in nature. Particularly, five research questions are answered in the thesis: (1) how to …
