Many tasks in CAD, such as equivalence checking, property checking, logic synthesis, and false paths analysis require efficient Boolean reasoning for problems derived from circuit...
Under the widely believed conjecture P=NP, NP-complete problems cannot be solved exactly using efficient polynomial time algorithms. Furthermore, any instance of a NP-complete pro...
Context-free grammar constraints enforce that a sequence of variables forms a word in a language defined by a context-free grammar. The constraint has received a lot of attention ...
Constrained random simulation methodology still plays an important role in hardware verification due to the limited scalability of formal verification, especially for the large an...
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
