- Routing is one of the important steps in VLSI/ULSI physical design. The rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (RSMT) construction is an essential part of routing. Since macro cells, I...
Circuit interconnect has become a substantial obstacle in the design of high performance systems. In this paper we explore a new routing paradigm that strikes at the root of the i...
In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...

In this paper we present an efficient method for interpolating a piecewise-linear surface between two parallel slices, each consisting of an arbitrary number of (possibly nested) ...

Virtual Private Network Design is the following NP-hard problem. We are given a communication network, represented as a weighted graph with thresholds on the nodes which represent...
