We study a class of multi-commodity flow problems in geometric domains: For a given planar domain P populated with obstacles (holes) of K ≥ 2 types, compute a set of thick path...

Separate optimizations of logic and layout have been thoroughly studied in the past and are well documented for common benchmarks. However, to be competitive, modern circuit optim...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

The existing literature on optimal auctions focuses on optimizing the expected revenue of the seller, and is appropriate for risk-neutral sellers. In this paper, we identify good ...
Abstract— Target shape design optimization problem (TSDOP) is a miniature model for real world design optimization problems. It is proposed as a test bed to design and analyze op...
