Gradient-based numerical optimization of complex engineering designs offers the promise of rapidly producing better designs. However, such methods generally assume that the object...
Reasoning about the physical world is a central human cognitive activity. One aspect of such reasoning is the inference of function from the structure of the artifacts one encount...
Booth Recoding is a commonly used technique to recode one of the operands in binary multiplication. In this way the implementation of a multipliers' adder tree can be improve...
This paper deals with the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian cycle of optimal weight, called TSP. We show that TSP is 2/3-differential approximable and can not be differential a...
This paper is the first part of a two part series. It proves a number of direct relationships between the Fourier transform and the simple genetic algorithm. (For a binary repres...
