constraint abstractions into integer programming, and to discuss possible combinations of the two approaches. Combinatorial problems are ubiquitous in many real world applications ...
We consider the segmentation of a trajectory into piecewise polynomial parts, or possibly other forms. Segmentation is typically formulated as an optimization problem which trades...

Abstract--To reduce chip-scale topography variation in Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process, dummy fill is widely used to improve the layout density uniformity. Previous res...

Abstract. We develop a generic framework for deriving linear-size problem kernels for NP-hard problems on planar graphs. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework in several c...
I report on an experience using the Coq proof assistant to develop a program verification tool with a machine-checkable proof of full correctness. The verifier is able to prove me...
