The parallel packet switch (PPS) extends the inverse multiplexing architecture, and is extensively used as the core of contemporary commercial switches. A key factor in the perfor...
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...
