To understand the functional connectivity of neural networks, it is important to develop simple and incisive descriptors of multineuronal firing patterns. Analysis at the pairwise...
Discrete gate sizing is a critical optimization in VLSI circuit design. Given a set of available gate sizes, discrete gate sizing problem asks to assign a size to each gate such th...
It is widely recognised that software development is a complex process. Among the factors that contribute to its inherent complexity is the gap between the design and the formal a...
The Baxter number Bn can be written as Bn = n k=0 Θk,n−k−1 with Θk,ℓ = 2 (k + 1)2 (k + 2) k + ℓ k k + ℓ + 1 k k + ℓ + 2 k . These numbers have first appeared in the...
The maximal correlation problem (MCP) aiming at optimizing correlation between sets of variables plays a very important role in many areas of statistical applications. Currently, a...
