Abstract. Bilevel optimization problems require every feasible upperlevel solution to satisfy optimality of a lower-level optimization problem. These problems commonly appear in ma...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a metamodelbased optimization method. Its strategy is to explore small subregions of the parameter space in succession instead of attempting ...
