A basic part of the general synthesis problem is the design of a two-terminal network with given operating characteristics, and this work shall consider some aspects of this problem.
Abstract
THE theory of switching circuits may be divided into two major divisions, analysis and synthesis. The problem of analysis, determining the manner of operation of a given switching circuit, is comparatively simple. The inverse problem of finding a circuit satisfying certain given operating conditions, and in particular the best circuit is, in general, more difficult and more important from the practical standpoint. A basic part of the general synthesis problem is the design of a two-terminal network with given operating characteristics, and we shall consider some aspects of this problem.

Two-level logic minimization: an overview

Olivier Coudert
- 01 Oct 1994 - 
TL;DR: This paper exposes the classical approach for two-level logic minimization, and presents the recent developments that overcome the limitations of the procedures proposed in the past, and reveals a minimizer that is 10 up to 50 times faster than the previously best known ones, and that is able to handle more complex functions.

Exponential Lower Bounds for Polytopes in Combinatorial Optimization

TL;DR: This work solves a 20-year old problem posed by Yannakakis and proves that no polynomial-size linear program (LP) exists whose associated polytope projects to the traveling salesmanpolytope, even if the LP is not required to be symmetric.

VeriTrust: Verification for Hardware Trust

TL;DR: VeriTrust is a novel verification technique for hardware trust, namely VeriTrust, which facilitates to detect HTs inserted at design stage and is insensitive to the implementation style of HTs.

Fast Multiplication: Algorithms and Implementations

TL;DR: Methods of implementing binary multiplication with the smallest possible latency are investigated, and traditional Booth encoded multipliers are superior in layout area, power, and delay to non-Booth encode multipliers.

A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that many particular choices among possible neurophysiological assumptions are equivalent, in the sense that for every net behaving under one assumption, there exists another net which behaves under another and gives the same results, although perhaps not in the same time.

A symbolic analysis of relay and switching circuits

TL;DR: It will be shown that several of the well-known theorems on impedance networks have roughly analogous theorem in relay circuits, including the delta-wye and star-mesh transformations, and the duality theorem.

The axiomatic method in biology

J. H. Woodger
TL;DR: Interestingly, the axiomatic method in biology that you really wait for now is coming, and it's significant to wait for the representative and beneficial books to read.
