Abstract. We study in this lecture the literature on mixed integer programming models and formulations for a specific problem class, namely deterministic production planning probl...
Certain manufacturing steps in very deep submicron VLSI involve chemical-mechanical polishing CMP which has varying e ects on device and interconnect features, depending on loca...

Global placement of hypergraphs is critical in the top-down placement of large timing-driven designs 10, 16 . Placement quality is evaluated in terms of the half-perimeter wirelen...
We give the first nontrivial model-independent time-space tradeoffs for satisfiability. Namely, we show that SAT cannot be solved simultaneously in n1+o(1) time and n1space for an...
We introduce a novel invertible transform for two-dimensional data which has the objective of reordering the matrix so it will improve its (lossless) compression at later stages. T...
