We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...
To cope with an increasing complexity when analyzing analog mismatch in sub-90nm designs, this paper presents a fast non-MonteCarlo method to calculate mismatch in time domain. Th...
The Shortest Common Supersequence problem is a hard combinatorial optimization problem with numerous practical applications. Several evolutionary approaches are proposed for this p...
Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) and other manufacturing steps in very deep submicron VLSI have varying effects on device and interconnect features, depending on local character...
