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: The paper proposes a new fixed-point method for solving time-stepping hysteretic field problems. The method is aimed to speed up the convergence of the fixed-point solution and enhance the ...

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: ...
