A new genetic algorithm for channel routing in the physical design process of VLSI circuits is presented. The algorithm is based on a problem-specific representation scheme and problem-specific genetic operators. The genetic encoding and our genetic operators are described in detail. The performance of the algorithm is tested on different benchmarks, and it is shown that the results obtained using the proposed algorithm are either qualitatively similar to or better than the best published results.
The problem of the r-identifying code of a cycle C n has been solved totally when n is even. Recently, S. Gravier et al. give the r-identifying code for the cycle C n with the minimum cardinality for odd n, when n ≥ 3r + 2 and gcd(2r + 1, n) = 1. In this paper, we deal with the r-identifying code of the cycle C n for odd n, when n ≥ 3r + 2 and gcd(2r + 1, n) = 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
