Simultaneous shield insertion and net ordering for capacitive and inductive coupling minimization
TL;DR: This work presents an in-depth study on the automatic layout optimization of multiple nets to minimize both capacitive and inductive noise, and reveals that both optimal SINO problems are NP-hard.

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.
