C. creator: Rasmussen, H. creator: Sorensen, A. subject: Discrete subject: Transport and Automotive description: In this report, we consider the holding problem for a ship with a given arrangement of thrusters, i.e., how to ensure that a shop, floating on the surface of the ocean, stays very nearly at rest with respect to the sea bed. We show that the holding problem for a given configuration can be solved in a time that increases at most linearly with the number of thrusters, which is an improvement on previous methods that grow exponentially. date: 1998 type: Study Group Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://miis.maths.ox.ac.uk/miis/626/1/p3_201310031518.pdf identifier: Larsen, J.
