Sums of squares based approximation algorithms for MAX-SAT
We investigate the Semidefinite Programming based Sums of squares (SOS) decomposition method, designed for global optimization of polynomials, in the context of the (Maximum) Sati...

New upper bounds on the Boolean circuit complexity of symmetric functions
In this note, we present improved upper bounds on the circuit complexity of symmetric Boolean functions. In particular, we describe circuits of size 4.5n + o(n) for any symmetric ...

Mining global constraints for improving bounded sequential equivalence checking
In this paper, we propose a novel technique on mining relationships in a sequential circuit to discover global constraints. In contrast to the traditional learning methods, our mi...

Improving Exact Algorithms for MAX-2-SAT
We study three new techniques which will speed up the branch-and-bound algorithm for the MAX-2-SAT problem: The first technique is a new lower bound function for the algorithm an...

Concave Programming Upper Bounds on the Capacity of 2-D Constraints
The capacity of 1-D constraints is given by the entropy of a corresponding stationary maxentropic Markov chain. Namely, the entropy is maximized over a set of probability distribut...
