On The Complexity Of The Evaluation Of Transient Extensions Of Boolean Functions
Electronic version of an article published as International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, 23(01), 2012, 21–35. http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S0129054112400023 © World Scientific Publishing Company http://www.worldscientific.com/Transient algebra is a multi-valued algebra for hazard detection in gate circuits. Sequences of alternating 0's and 1's, called transients, represent signal values, and gates are modeled by extensions of boolean functions to transients. Formulas for computing the output transient of a gate from the input transients are known for NOT, AND, OR and XOR gates and their complements, but, in general, even the problem of deciding whether the length of the output transient exceeds a given bound is NP-complete. We propose a method of evaluating extensions of general boolean functions. We study a class of functions for which, instead of evaluating the extensions on a given set of transients, it is possible to get the same values by using transients derived from the given ones, but having length at most 3. We prove that all functions of three variables, as well as certain other functions, have this property, and can be efficiently evaluated.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada [OGP0000871]Department of Computer Science, University of Toront

International Conference on Mathematical Analysis and Applications in Science and Engineering – Book of Extended Abstracts
The present volume on Mathematical Analysis and Applications in Science and Engineering - Book of
Extended Abstracts of the ICMASC’2022 collects the extended abstracts of the talks presented at the
International Conference on Mathematical Analysis and Applications in Science and Engineering –
ICMA2SC'22 that took place at the beautiful city of Porto, Portugal, in June 27th-June 29th 2022 (3 days).
Its aim was to bring together researchers in every discipline of applied mathematics, science, engineering,
industry, and technology, to discuss the development of new mathematical models, theories, and
applications that contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge and practice. Authors proposed
research in topics including partial and ordinary differential equations, integer and fractional order
equations, linear algebra, numerical analysis, operations research, discrete mathematics, optimization,
control, probability, computational mathematics, amongst others.
The conference was designed to maximize the involvement of all participants and will present the state-of-
the-art research and the latest achievements.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Laboratory-directed research and development: FY 1996 progress report
This report summarizes the FY 1996 goals and accomplishments of Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) projects. It gives an overview of the LDRD program, summarizes work done on individual research projects, and provides an index to the projects` principal investigators. Projects are grouped by their LDRD component: Individual Projects, Competency Development, and Program Development. Within each component, they are further divided into nine technical disciplines: (1) materials science, (2) engineering and base technologies, (3) plasmas, fluids, and particle beams, (4) chemistry, (5) mathematics and computational sciences, (6) atomic and molecular physics, (7) geoscience, space science, and astrophysics, (8) nuclear and particle physics, and (9) biosciences
Conference on Intelligent Robotics in Field, Factory, Service, and Space (CIRFFSS 1994), volume 1
The AIAA/NASA Conference on Intelligent Robotics in Field, Factory, Service, and Space (CIRFFSS '94) was originally proposed because of the strong belief that America's problems of global economic competitiveness and job creation and preservation can partly be solved by the use of intelligent robotics, which are also required for human space exploration missions. Individual sessions addressed nuclear industry, agile manufacturing, security/building monitoring, on-orbit applications, vision and sensing technologies, situated control and low-level control, robotic systems architecture, environmental restoration and waste management, robotic remanufacturing, and healthcare applications
