Optimizing Nonmonotonic Interconnect Using Functional Simulation and Logic Restructuring
The relatively poor scaling of interconnect in modern digital circuits necessitates a number of design optimizations, which must typically be iterated several times to meet the spe...

One class of transfer functions with monotonic step response
—The paper describes the transfer functions with monotonic step response. These functions required in design of wide-band pulse amplifiers were synthesized using the first semi-p...

Approximation by DNF: Examples and Counterexamples
Say that f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} -approximates g : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} if the functions disagree on at most an fraction of points. This paper contains two results about approximatio...

Completely Inapproximable Monotone and Antimonotone Parameterized Problems
We prove that weighted monotone/antimonotone circuit satisfiability has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with any approximation ratio function ρ, unless FPT...

Timing-driven placement based on monotone cell ordering constraints
− In this paper, we present a new timing-driven placement algorithm, which attempts to minimize zigzags and crisscrosses on the timing-critical paths of a circuit. We observed th...
