The weighted log canonical threshold

In this note, we show how to apply the original $L^2$-extension theorem of Ohsawa and Takegoshi to the standard basis of a multiplier ideal sheaf associated with a plurisubharmonic function. In this way, we are able to reprove the strong openness conjecture and to obtain an effective version of the semicontinuity theorem for weighted log canonical thresholds.Comment: Final versio

Formation Control of Rigid Graphs with a Flex Node Addition

This paper examines stability properties of distance-based formation control when the underlying topology consists of a rigid graph and a flex node addition. It is shown that the desired equilibrium set is locally asymptotically stable but there exist undesired equilibria. Specifically, we further consider two cases where the rigid graph is a triangle in 2-D and a tetrahedral in 3-D, and prove that any undesired equilibrium point in these cases is unstable. Thus in these cases, the desired formations are almost globally asymptotically stable.Comment: The full version of this paper with general extensions has been submitted to a journal for publicatio
