We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
System-on-chip and system-in-package result in increased number of I/O cells and complicated constraints for both chip designs and package designs. This renders the traditional ma...
This paper presents a fast algorithm to optimize both the widths and lengths of power/ground networks under reliability and power dip/ground bounce constraints. The spacesizing wh...
This paper deals with the challenging problem of counting the number of solutions of a CSP, denoted #CSP. Recent progress have been made using search methods, such as BTD [15], whi...
We propose a new class of consistency constraints for Linear Programming (LP) relaxations for finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models. Usual cluster-base...
