Covering problems arise in many areas of electronic design automation such as logic minimization and technology mapping. An exact solution can critically impact both size and perf...

The classical solving approach for two-level logic minimisation reduces the problem to a special case of unate covering and attacks the latter with a (possibly limited) branch-and...
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...
