On The Probable Performance Of Graph Coloring Algorithms, Jonathan S. Turner Jun 1985

On The Probable Performance Of Graph Coloring Algorithms, Jonathan S. Turner

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

We define a natural probability distribution over the set of k-colorable graphs on n vertices and study the probable performance of several algorithms on graphs selected from this distribution. The main results are listed below. • We describe an algorithm to determine if a given n vertex graph is k-colorable, which runs in time O(n + m log k), where m is the number of edges. We show that this algorithm can successfully identify almost all random k-colorable graphs for constant or slowly growing values of k. • We show that an algorithm proposed by Brelas, and justified on experimental …

Measuring R And D Productivity, Richard A. Pappas, Donald S. Remer May 1985

Measuring R And D Productivity, Richard A. Pappas, Donald S. Remer

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

Measuring the productivity of an R&D organization is extremely tricky. Productivity is usually defined as a ratio of an output, like number of cars produced on an assembly line, to an input, like the wages paid the workers. While R&D may have a measurable input, the output is often intangible and difficult to quantify. This is further complicated because the return from an R&D department may not be realized for one or two decades,which means the time lag is much higher than in factory measurements. Furthermore, many researchers believe that this kind of measurement may be counterproductive,since the mere act …

Collecting Data About Logic Simulation, Roger D. Chamberlain, Mark A. Franklin May 1985

Collecting Data About Logic Simulation, Roger D. Chamberlain, Mark A. Franklin

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Design of high performance hardware and software based gate-switch level logic simulators requires knowledge about the logic simulation process itself. Unfortunately, little data is publically available concerning key aspects of this process. An example of this is the lack of published empirical measurements relating to the time distribution of events generated by such simulators. This paper presents a gate-switch level logic simulator lsim which is oriented towards the collection of data about the simulation process. The basic components of lsim are reviewed, and its relevant data gathering facilities are discussed. An example is presented which illustrates the use of lsim …

Constraint On The Optical Constants Of A Film-Substrate System For Operation As An External-Reflection Retarder At A Given Angle Of Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam, Bruce E. Perilloux Apr 1985

Constraint On The Optical Constants Of A Film-Substrate System For Operation As An External-Reflection Retarder At A Given Angle Of Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam, Bruce E. Perilloux

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

Given a transparent film of refractive index n1 on an absorbing substrate of complex refractive indexn2-jk2, we examine the constraint on n1, n2, and k2 such that the film-substrate system acts as an external-reflection retarder of specified retardance Δ at a specified angle of incidence φ. The constraint, which takes the form ƒ(n1,n2,k2;φ,Δ) = 0, is portrayed graphically by equi-n1 contours in the n2,k2 plane at φ = 45, 70° and for Δ …

Test Derivation For Cmos Iterative Logic Arrays, Ravi Sharma Apr 1985

Test Derivation For Cmos Iterative Logic Arrays, Ravi Sharma

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Testability criteria for stuck-open (s-op) faults in one-dimensional unilateral iterative logic arrays (ILA) of CMOS combinational cells are considered in this thesis. A functional fault model to represents-op faults i~ an ILA cell is given. The procedure to detect as-op fault needs a pair of test vectors. The first is used to set up the initial conditions required to test the fault and the second is the test which distinguishes between the good and the bad circuit. Based on this approach necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the testability of as-op fault in a CMOS ILA cell. These conditions …

Selecting Non-Point Source Pollution Treatment Practices Using Linear Optimization, John Gardy Garland Iii Apr 1985

Selecting Non-Point Source Pollution Treatment Practices Using Linear Optimization, John Gardy Garland Iii

Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations

This paper provides a case study application of a linear optimization program as a water quality management tool. The optimization program seeks to minimize the cost of nonpoint source pollution control by selecting the best combination of pollution control management practices for Hampton, Virginia. The management practice options are grass swale roadways, porous pavers, ponds, detention basins and fertilizer management education. Management practice selection is limited by constraints on land-use and water quality. Pollutants evaluated are total nitrogen, total phosphorus, suspended solids, fecal coliforms and biochemical oxygen demand (five-day). The value in the water quality constraints for pollution loading on …

Explicit Equations For The Polarizing Angles Of A High-Reflectance Substrate Coated By A Transparent Thin Film, R. M.A. Azzam Mar 1985

Explicit Equations For The Polarizing Angles Of A High-Reflectance Substrate Coated By A Transparent Thin Film, R. M.A. Azzam

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

Simple explicit equations are derived that determine the angles of incidence at which the parallel and perpendicular polarization components of light are extinguished on reflection from a transparent film coating a high-reflectance (metallic) substrate. The polarizing angles obtained from our approximate expressions are in excellent agreement with those determined by iterative numerical solution of the exact nonlinear equations that govern such angles. For the approximation to be valid, the intensity reflectance of the film-substrate interface, evaluated at the critical angle of the film-ambient interface, must exceed 0.5.

Antireflecting And Polarizing Transparent Bilayer Coatings On Absorbing Substrates At Oblique Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam, Karim Javily Feb 1985

Antireflecting And Polarizing Transparent Bilayer Coatings On Absorbing Substrates At Oblique Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam, Karim Javily

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

The condition of zero reflection of p- and s-polarized light by a transparent bilayer on an absorbing substrate is derived in the form |gν(ø,Ni)| ≤ 1, where gν is a function of the angle of incidence ø, the refractive indices Ni(i = 0,1,2,3) of the system, and the polarization state ν (= p or s). As an application, the air-Si3N4-SiO2-Si system is considered at two laser wavelengths λ = 6328 and 3250 Å. The thicknesses of the two films of the bilayer and the …

Single-Layer Antireflection Coatings On Absorbing Substrates For The Parallel And Perpendicular Polarizations At Oblique Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam Feb 1985

Single-Layer Antireflection Coatings On Absorbing Substrates For The Parallel And Perpendicular Polarizations At Oblique Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

Explicit equations are derived that determine the refractive index of a single layer that suppresses the reflection of p- or s-polarized light from the planar interface between a transparent and an absorbing medium at any given angle of incidence. The required layer thickness and the system reflectance for the orthogonal unextinguished polarization also follow explicitly. This generalizes earlier work that was limited to normal incidence or to oblique incidence at dielectric—dielectric interfaces. Specific examples are given of p- and s-antireflection layers on Si and Al substrates at λ = 6328 Å at various angles of incidence.

Extinction Of The P And S Polarizations Of A Wave On Reflection At The Same Angle From A Transparent Film On An Absorbing Substrate: Applications To Parallel-Mirror Crossed Polarizers And A Novel Integrated Polarimeter, R. M.A. Azzam Feb 1985

Extinction Of The P And S Polarizations Of A Wave On Reflection At The Same Angle From A Transparent Film On An Absorbing Substrate: Applications To Parallel-Mirror Crossed Polarizers And A Novel Integrated Polarimeter, R. M.A. Azzam

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

The p- and s-polarized components of light can be suppressed on reflection at the same angle of incidence from an absorbing substrate coated by a transparent thin film if the wave is refracted in the film at 45° and the constraint Re[(ε2 - α)/(l -α)]1/2 = α + | ε2 - α| is satisfied, where 2α and ε2 are the ratios of dielectric constants of the film and substrate, respectively, to that of the ambient. For high-reflectance metal substrates (|ε2| » 1), α≈ 1, the ratio of film to ambient refractive index …
