— Although there is a trend in reducing the number of layers in core and metropolitan area networks, still the optimal design of multi-layer networks (like IP over WDM) remains a...
Gradient-based numerical optimization of complex engineering designs offers the promise of rapidly producing better designs. However, such methods generally assume that the object...
We consider the class of max-min and min-max optimization problems subject to a global budget (or weight) constraint and we undertake a systematic algorithmic and complexitytheore...

In this paper we propose a novel analog design optimization methodology to address two key aspects of top-down system-level design: (1) how to optimally compare and select analog ...

— We consider the problem of designing optimal distributed controllers whose impulse response has limited propagation speed. We introduce a state-space framework in which such co...
