Abstract A divide-and-conquer algorithm for computing the parametric yield of large analog circuits is presented. The algorithm targets applications whose performance spreads could...
A problem of assigning cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles to perform multiple tasks on multiple targets is posed as a new combinatorial optimization problem. A genetic algori...

Randomization is an efficient tool for global optimization. We here define a method which keeps : – the order 0 of evolutionary algorithms (no gradient) ; – the stochastic as...
For statistical timing and power analysis that are very important problems in the sub-100nm technologies, stochastic analysis of power grids that characterizes the voltage fluctua...
