In this paper we discuss a new type of query in Spatial Databases, called the Trip Planning Query (TPQ). Given a set of points of interest P in space, where each point belongs to ...
We propose an algorithm based on singular value decomposition (SVD) to reduce the number of process variation variables. With few process variation variables, fault simulation and...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
