Second Order Function Approximation Using a Single Multiplication on FPGAs
Abstract. This paper presents a new scheme for the hardware evaluation of elementary functions, based on a piecewise second order minimax approximation. The novelty is that this ev...

Second Order Approximations for Probability Models
In this paper, we derive a second order mean field theory for directed graphical probability models. By using an information theoretic argument it is shown how this can be done in...

Second Order Measures for Uncertainty Processing
Uncertainty processing methods are analysed from the viewpoint of their sensitivity to small variations of certainty factors. The analysis makes use of the algebraic theory which ...

Optimizing Logarithmic Arithmetic on FPGAs
This paper proposes optimizations of the methods and parameters used in both mathematical approximation and hardware design for logarithmic number system (LNS) arithmetic. First, ...
