— This work investigates the effects of the periodization of local and global multi-objective search algorithms. To this, we introduce a model for periodization and define a new...
We consider a generalized semi-infinite optimization problem (GSIP) of the form (GSIP) min{f(x) Ix E M}, where M = {x E N"lhi(x ) = 0, i = 1,...,m, G(x,y) /> 0, y E Y(x)} ...
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating flip-flops is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. The ASTRA algorithm propose...
—Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is a significant reliability concern for nanoscale CMOS circuits. Its effects on circuit timing can be especially pronounced for ci...
We prove optimal lower bounds for multilinear circuits and for monotone circuits with bounded depth. These lower bounds state that, in order to compute certain functions, these cir...
