We study a wide generalization of two classical problems, the Huffman Tree and Alphabetic Tree Problem. We assume that the cost caused by the ith leaf is fi(di), where di is its d...
- Reducing the yield loss due to via failure is one of the important problems in design for manufacturability. A well known and highly recommended method to improve via yield/relia...
FPGAs are one of the essential components in platform-based embedded systems. Such systems are customized and applied only to a limited set of applications. Also some applications...
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...
So-called nonadjacent representations are commonly used in elliptic curve cryptography to facilitate computing a scalar multiple of a point on an elliptic curve. A nonadjacent rep...
