In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
We give a pattern search method for nonlinearly constrained optimization that is an adaption of a bound constrained augmented Lagrangian method first proposed by Conn, Gould, and T...
— As across-chip wire delays exceed a clock cycle, interconnect pipelining becomes essential. However, the arbitrary insertion of flip-flops can change the differentials of lat...
