Abstract— This paper explores the idea of neutrality in heuristic optimization algorithms. In particular, the effect of having multiple levels of neutrality in representations is...
We introduce two new methods for the demodulation of acoustic signals by posing the problem in a convex optimization framework. This allows the parameters of the modulator and carr...
For CMOS technologies below 65nm, gate oxide direct tunneling current is a major component of the total power dissipation. This paper presents a simulated annealing based algorith...
