Many optimization processes encounter a problem in efficiently reaching a global minimum or a near global minimum. Traditional methods such as Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and t...
Designing technical plants is a complex and demanding process. It has been shown that the optimization of the simple facility placement problem is already NP-hard. Optimization of...
We present a new technique to examine the trade-off regions of a circuit where its competing performances become “simultaneously optimal”, i.e. Pareto optimal. It is based on ...
Evolutionary and genetic algorithms (EAs and GAs) are quite successful randomized function optimizers. This success is mainly based on the interaction of different operators like ...
Traditional synthesis techniques optimize CMOS circuits in two phases i) logic minimization and ii) library mapping phase. Typically, the structures and the sizes of the gates in ...
