Non-Uniform Random Number Generation Through Piecewise Linear Approximations
This paper presents a hardware architecture for non-uniform random number generation, which allows the generator's distribution to be modified at run-time without reconfigura...

Computation of Error Bounds for P-matrix Linear Complementarity Problems
Abstract We give new error bounds for the linear complementarity problem where the involved matrix is a P-matrix. Computation of rigorous error bounds can be turned into a P-matrix...
