Slicing is a technique for extracting parts of programs or specifications with respect to certain criteria of interest. The extraction is carried out in such a way that properties ...
– This paper addresses the problem of ordering and sizing parallel wires in a single metal layer within an interconnect channel of a given width, such that crosscapacitances are ...
The optimization of integrated spiral inductors has great practical importance. Previous optimization methods used in this field are either too slow or depend on very simplified a...
DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
