We present an algorithm to compute the cycle structure of large directed graphs where each node has exactly one outgoing edge. Such graphs appear as state diagrams of finite stat...
This article describes new theoretical results concerning the general behavior of a Feedback with Carry Shift Register (FCSR) automaton. They help to better understand how the init...
The random number generator is one of the important components of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Therefore, when we try to solve function optimization problems using EAs, we must ...
We define a combinatorial checkerboard to be a function f : {1, . . . , m}d {1, -1} of the form f(u1, . . . , ud) = d i=1 fi(ui) for some functions fi : {1, . . . , m} {1, -1}. T...
During built-in self-test (BIST), the set of patterns generated by a pseudo-random pattern generator may not provide a sufficiently high fault coverage. This paper presents a new ...
