We investigate the conception that the sample variance of the control variate (CV) should be used for estimating the optimal linear CV weight, even when the CV variance is known. ...
The stochastic root-finding problem (SRFP) is that of solving a system of q equations in q unknowns using only an oracle that provides estimates of the function values. This paper...
As systems become more and more complex the use of automation tools becomes more important. Although automation is introduced to reduce human workload, improve situational awarene...
Thermal micro-actuators are a promising solution to the need for large-displacement, gentle handling force, low-power MEMS actuators. Potential applications of these devices are mi...
As technology scales, interconnects dominate the performance and power behavior of deep submicron designs. Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) have been proposed as a w...
