We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...

We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
The protein folding problem consists of predicting the functional (native) structure of the protein given its linear sequence of amino acids. Despite extensive progress made in un...
We propose an efficient scheme for evaluating nonlinear subspace forces (and Jacobians) associated with subspace deformations. The core problem we address is efficient integration...
