Dynamic power minimization during combinational circuit testing as a traveling salesman problem
Testing of VLSI circuits can cause generation of excessive heat which can damage the chips under test. In the random testing environment, high-performance CMOS circuits consume sig...

Higher Lower Bounds for Near-Neighbor and Further Rich Problems
We convert cell-probe lower bounds for polynomial space into stronger lower bounds for near-linear space. Our technique applies to any lower bound proved through the richness meth...

Behavior of finite population variable length genetic algorithms under random selection
In this work we provide empirical evidence that shows how a variable-length genetic algorithm (GA) can naturally evolve shorter average size populations. This reduction in chromos...

Search Space Reduction and Russian Doll Search
In a constraint optimization problem (COP), many feasible valuations lead to the same objective value. This often means a huge search space and poor performance in the propagation...

On Worst-Case to Average-Case Reductions for NP Problems
We show that if an NP-complete problem has a non-adaptive self-corrector with respect to a samplable distribution then coNP is contained in NP/poly and the polynomial hierarchy co...
