Improved bounds for colouring circle graphs

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for any circle graph with clique number at most ε ≥ 0, ε has chromatic number ε > 0, and ε ≤ ε + 2 ε √ ε 2 + ε ϵ + 10 ε.

Timing-Driven Routing in VLSI Physical Design Under Uncertainty

TL;DR: This work tries to find a fundamental strategy to address the timing-driven Steiner tree construction problem subject to congestion constraints and process variation, and builds on this approach to accommodate the variation-aware statistical delay/timing requirements.

Mechanisms of swarm intelligence and evolutionary adaptation for solving PCB design tasks

TL;DR: The paper describes the swarm intelligence method and the hybrid algorithm, which uses the swarm and the evolutionary algorithms consistently for solving PCB design tasks and proposes the adaptive filter reducing the solutions with low values of fitness function.

Hybrid Algorithmical Approach for VLSI Physical Design - Floorplanning

TL;DR: Memetic Algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm that includes one or more local search phases within its evolutionary cycle that quickly produces optimal or nearly optimal solutions for all the popular benchmark problems.

Reduction of crosstalk noise by optimizing 3-D configuration of the routing grid

TL;DR: By employing proposed techniques on a 0.13μm six-layer physical design, the longest path delay is significantly decreased by 15% maximum without the need for process improvement, which greatly accelerates the performance of SoCs.

Optimization by Simulated Annealing

TL;DR: There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters), and a detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of very large and complex systems.

Equation of state calculations by fast computing machines

TL;DR: In this article, a modified Monte Carlo integration over configuration space is used to investigate the properties of a two-dimensional rigid-sphere system with a set of interacting individual molecules, and the results are compared to free volume equations of state and a four-term virial coefficient expansion.
