Algebraic Proofs over Noncommutative Formulas
We study possible formulations of algebraic propositional proof systems operating with noncommutative formulas. We observe that a simple formulation gives rise to systems at least ...

Natural proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandomnumber generators do not exist. This famous result is ...

FPGA Performance Optimization Via Chipwise Placement Considering Process Variations
Both custom IC and FPGA designs in the nanometer regime suffer from process variations. But different from custom ICs, FPGAs' programmability offers a unique design freedom t...

Exponential Separations between Restricted Resolution and Cutting Planes Proof Systems
We prove an exponential lower bound for tree-like Cutting Planes refutations of a set of clauses which has polynomial size resolution refutations. This implies an exponential sepa...

A novel ACO-based pattern generation for peak power estimation in VLSI circuits
Estimation of maximal power consumption is an essential task in VLSI circuit realizations since power value significantly affects the reliability of the circuits. The key issue o...
