Full textCette recherche en informatique théorique construit de nouveaux ponts entre logique linéaire et théorie de la complexité. Elle propose deux modèles de machines abstraites qui permettent de capturer de nouvelles classes de complexité avec la logique linéaire, les classes des problèmes efficacement parallélisables (NC et AC) et celle des problèmes solutionnables avec peu d’espace, dans ses versions déterministes et non-déterministes (L et NL). La représentation des preuves de la logique linéaire comme réseaux de preuves est employée pour représenter efficacement le calcul parallèle des circuits booléens, y compris à profondeur constante. La seconde étude s’inspire de la géométrie de l’interaction, une délicate reconstruction de la logique linéaire à l’aide d’opérateurs d’une algèbre de von Neumann. Nous détaillons comment l’interaction d’opérateurs représentant des entiers et d’opérateurs représentant des programmes peut être reconnue nilpotente en espace logarithmique. Nous montrons ensuite comment leur itération représente un calcul effectué par des machines à pointeurs que nous définissons et que nous rattachons à d’autres modèles plus classiques. Ces deux études permettent de capturer de façon implicite de nouvelles classes de complexité, en dessous du temps polynomial

Full textIn this thesis, we focused in the Wafer-to-Wafer integration problems. These problems come from IC manufacturing. During the production of three-dimensional processors, dies have to be superimposed. Until recent, the dies were engraved on a silicon disk called wafer, then were cut, tested and sorted to suppress faulty dies and lastly superimposed one to each other.However superimposing wafers instead of dies presents several technical and financial advantages. Since faulty dies can only be dismissed when cutting the wafer, superimpose two wafers can lead to superimpose a faulty die with a viable one. In this case, the resulting stack of dies is considered as faulty. It follows that a bad assignment between the wafers can lead to a disastrous yield.In order to minimize the number of faulty dies stacks, a "failure map" of each wafer is generated during a test phase. This map gives location of the faulty dies on the wafers. The objective is then to take advantage of this map to define an assignment of the wafers to each other in order to match as many failures as possible.This problem can be modelized with Multidimensional Assignment problems. Each wafer can be seen as a vector with as many dimensions as the number of dies engraved on it. A coordinate set to zero marks a faulty die while a coordinate set to one indicates a viable one. Each seat of wafers is represented by a set of vector. Formally, an instance of a Wafer-to-Wafer integration problem is represented by m sets of n p-dimensional vectors. The objective is then to partition the vectors into n disjoint m-tuples, each tuple containing exactly one vector per set. An m-tuple represents a stack of wafers. Every m-tuple can be represented by a p-dimensional vector. Each coordinate is computed by performing the bitwise AND between the corresponding coordinates of the vectors that compose the m-tuple. In other words, a coordinate of the representative vector is equal to one if and only if this coordinate is equal to one in every vector composing the tuple. It follows that a dies stack is viable if and only if all the dies composing the stack are viable. The objective is then to maximize the overall number of ones of to minimize the overall number of zeros.The first part of the thesis is a theoretical one. We study the complexity of the considered versions of the problem with regards to natural parameters such as m, n, p or the number of zeros per vector. We show that these problems can encode more classical problems such as Maximum Clique, Minimum Vertex Cover or k-Dimensional Matching. This leads to several negative results from computational complexity, approximability or even parameterized complexity point of view. We also provide several positive results for some specific cases of the problem.In a second part, we focus on the practical solving of the problem. We provide and compare several Integer Linear Programming formulations. We also focus on performances of some approximation algorithms that we detailed in the theoretical part

Full textThis thesis explores two territories of computer science: complexity and compression. More precisely, in a first part, we investigate the power of non-commutative arithmetic circuits, which compute multivariate non-commutative polynomials. For that, we introduce various models of computation that are restricted in the way they are allowed to compute monomials. These models generalize previous ones that have been widely studied, such as algebraic branching programs. The results are of three different types. First, we give strong lower bounds on the number of arithmetic operations needed to compute some polynomials such as the determinant or the permanent. Second, we design some deterministic polynomial-time algorithm to solve the white-box polynomial identity problem. Third, we exhibit a link between automata theory and non-commutative arithmetic circuits that allows us to derive some old and new tight lower bounds for some classes of non-commutative circuits, using a measure based on the rank of a so-called Hankel matrix. A second part is concerned with the analysis of the data compression algorithm called Lempel-Ziv. Although this algorithm is widely used in practice, we know little about its stability. Our main result is to show that an infinite word compressible by LZ’78 can become incompressible by adding a single bit in front of it, thus closing a question proposed by Jack Lutz in the late 90s under the name “one-bit catastrophe”. We also give tight bounds on the maximal possible variation between the compression ratio of a finite word and its perturbation—when one bit is added in front of it

Full textThe Straubing conjecture, stated in his book published in 1994, suggest that a regular language definable by a fragment of logic and equipped with an arbitrary numerical signature is definable using the same fragment of logic using only regular predicates. The considered fragments of logic are classed of formulas of monadic second order logic over finite words. This thesis is a contribution to the study of the Straubing conjecture. To prove such a conjecture, it seems necessary to obtain two results of two distinct types: 1. Algebraic characterizations of classes of regular languages defined by fragments of logics equipped with regular predicates, 2. Undefinability results of regular languages in fragments of logics equipped with arbitrary numerical predicates. The first part of this thesis is dedicated to the operation of adding regular predicates to a given fragment of logic, with a particular focus on modular predicates in the case where logical fragments have some algebraic structure. The second par of this thesis is dedicated to undefinability results with a particular focus on two-variable first order logic

Full textAfter recalling the process of the VLSI integrated circuits design and talking about the C. A. D (Computer Aided-Design) tools which are necessary for it and their complexity, we present in this thesis two algorithms of channel routing with two levels of technology. These algorithms use some concepts of operational Research. In fact, the first one is based on graphs optimization and the second on stochastic optimization by simulated annealing. Some applications (partition, placement and global routing) of simulated annealing to the physical design of systems are also described. Generally, these methods have allowed us to reduce the number of tracks (which are necessary for the interconnections) in comparison with the classical ones

Full textRegular languages, languages computed by finite automata, are among the simplest objects in theoretical computer science. This thesis explores several computation models: parallel computing with Boolean circuits, structured document streaming processing, and information maintenance on a structure subject to incremental updates. For the latter, auxiliary structures are either stored in RAM or represented by databases updated by logical formulae.This thesis investigates the resources required to compute classes of regular languages in each of these models. The methods employed rely on the interaction between algebra, logic, and combinatorics, notably exploiting the theory of finite semigroups. This approach of complexity has proven extremely fruitful, particularly in the context of Boolean circuits, where regular languages play a central role. This research angle was crystallised by Howard Straubing in his book "Finite Automata, Formal Logic, and Circuit Complexity", where he conjectured that any regular language definable by an arbitrary formula from a logic fragment can be rewritten to use only simple, regular predicates.The first objective of this manuscript is to prove this conjecture in the case of the Sigma2 fragment of first-order logic with a single alternation of quantification. A second result provides a description of space complexity, in the streaming model, for verifying regular properties on trees. Special attention is given to properties verifiable in constant and logarithmic space. A third objective is to describe all regular tree languages that can be incrementally maintained in constant time in RAM. Finally, a last part focuses on the development of efficient logical formulae for maintaining all regular languages in the relational model

Full textModerner Schaltungsentwurf fokussiert hauptsächlich synchrone Schaltungstechnik mit allen inhärenten Problemen. Asynchone (d.h. ungetaktete) Schaltungen zeichnen sich jedoch nicht nur durch das Fehlen der Taktversatzproblematik gegenüber ihren synchronen Pendents aus, sondern auch insbesondere durch geringeren Energieverbrauch, günstigere EMV-Eigenschaften, hohe Performance, Modularität und Robustheit gegenüber Schwankungen in der Spannungsversorgung, im Herstellungsprozess sowie Temperaturunterschieden. Diese Vorteile werden mit höherer Integration sowie höheren Taktraten signifikanter. Jedoch ist der Entwurf und auch der Test asynchroner Schaltungen erheblich schwieriger verglichen mit synchronen Schaltungen. Entwurfswerkzeuge zur Synthese asynchroner Schaltungen aus Hochsprachen-Spezifikationen sind zwar inzwischen verfügbar, sie sind jedoch noch nicht so ausgereift und bei weitem noch nicht so akzeptiert in der Industrie, wie ihre Äquivalente für den synchronen Schaltungsentwurf. Insbesondere fehlt es an Werkzeugunterstützung im Bereich der Logiksynthese komplexer Steuerungen („Controller“), welche kritisch für die Effizienz – z.B. in Bezug auf Chipfläche und Geschwindigkeit – der resultierenden Schaltungen oder Systeme ist. Zur Spezifikation von Steuerungen haben sich Signalflankengraphen („signal transition graphs“, STGs) bewährt, die auch als Entwurfseinstieg für eine Logiksynthese von SI-Schaltungen („speed independent“) verwendet werden. (SI-Schaltungen gelten als sehr robuste asynchrone Schaltungen.) Aus den STGs werden zwecks Logiksynthese Automaten abgeleitet werden, deren Zustandszahl aber oft prohibitiv groß werden kann. Durch sogenannte STG-Dekomposition wird die Logiksynthese einer komplexen Schaltung ermöglicht, was bislang aufgrund von Zustandsexplosion oft nicht möglich war. Dabei wird der Spezifikations-STG laut einer gegebenen Partition von Ausgangssignalen in viele kleinere Teilnetze dekomponiert, wobei zu jedem Partitionsblock ein Teilnetz – mit normalerweise signifikant kleinerem Zustandsraum im Vergleich zur Spezifikation – erzeugt wird. Zu jedem Teilnetz wird dann eine Teilschaltung (Komponente) mittels Logiksynthese generiert. Durch die Anwendung von STG-Dekomposition können jedoch Teilnetze erzeugt werden, die sogenannte irreduzible CSC-Konflikte aufweisen (d.h. zu diesen Teilnetzen kann keine SI-Schaltung erzeugt werden), obwohl die Spezifikation keine solchen Konflikte hatte. Diese Arbeit präsentiert einen neuen Ansatz, welcher die Entstehung solcher irreduziblen Konflikte vermeidet, und zwar durch die Einführung interner Kommunikation zwischen den (zu den Teilnetzen gehörenden) Schaltungskomponenten. Bisher werden STG-Dekompositionen total durchgeführt, d.h. pro resultierender Komponente wird ein Ausgangssignal erzeugt. Das führt gewöhnlich nicht zu optimalen Schaltungsimplementierungen. In dieser Arbeit werden Heuristiken zur Bestimmung gröberer Ausgabepartitionen (d.h. Partitionsblöcke mit mehreren Ausgangssignalen) vorgestellt, die zu kleineren Schaltungen führen. Die vorgestellten Algorithmen werden formal abgesichert und wurden in das bereits vorhandene Dekompositionswerkzeug DESIJ integriert. An praxisrelevanten Beispielen konnten die vorgestellten Verfahren erfolgreich erprobt werden.

Full textIn this thesis, the computational aspects of a fundamental problem in Euclidean geometry is examined. Given a set of line segments in the Euclidean plane, one is asked to connect all the segments to form a simple closed circuit. It is shown that for some sets of line segments it is impossible to perform this task. The problem of deciding whether a set of line segments admits a simple circuit is proved to be NP-complete. A restriction of the class of permissible input allows a polynomial time solution to the simple circuit decision problem. It is also shown that a polynomial solution can be realized by restricting the class of simple circuit in the output. All the polynomial time decision algorithms exhibited deliver a simple circuit if one exists. Furthermore, in all cases the simple circuit obtained can be optimized with respect to area or perimeter.

In this thesis, we apply tools from algebra and algebraic geometry to prove new results concerning extractors for algebraic sets, AC⁰-pseudorandomness, the recursive Fourier sampling problem, and VC dimension. We present a new construction of an extractor which works for algebraic sets defined by polynomials over F₂ of substantially higher degree than the previous state-of-the-art construction. We exhibit a collection of natural functions that behave pseudorandomly with regards to AC⁰ tests. We also exactly determine the F₂-polynomial degree of the recursive Fourier sampling problem and use this to provide new partial results towards a circuit lower bound for this problem. Finally, we answer a question posed in [MR15] concerning VC dimension, interpolation degree and the Hilbert function.

Full textIntegrated circuits miniaturization, high operating frequencies, lower supply voltages, high-density integration make digital signals propagating on interconnects highly vulnerable to degradation. Assessing EMC and signal integrity in the early stages of the design flow requires accurate interconnect models allowing for efficient time-domain simulations. In this context, our work addressed the issue of behavioral modeling of transmission line buffers, and particularly that of drivers. The main result is an original modeling approach partially based on Volterra-Laguerre series. The black box models we developed have a fairly simple implementation in SPICE thus allowing a very good portability. They are easy to identify and have a parametric complexity allowing a large gain in simulation time with respect to transistor driver models. In addition, the developed methods allow a more accurate output port nonlinear dynamics modeling, and a more general management of inputs. A very good reproduction of driver behaviour in overclocking conditions provides a significant advantage over standard IBIS models

Harwath, Frederik. "On Invariant Formulae of First-Order Logic with Numerical Predicates." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/19609.
Full textThis thesis studies the concept of order-invariance of formulae of first-order logic (FO) and some of its extensions as well as other closely related concepts from finite model theory. Many results in finite model theory assume that structures are equipped with an embedding of their universe into an initial segment of the natural numbers. This allows to transfer arbitrary relations (e.g. linear order) and operations (e.g. addition, multiplication) on the natural numbers to structures. The arising relations on the structures are called numerical predicates. If formulae use these numerical predicates, it is often desirable to consider only such formulae whose truth value in finite structures is invariant under changes to the embeddings of the structures. If the numerical predicates include only a linear order, such formulae are called order-invariant. We study the effect of the invariant use of different kinds of numerical predicates on the expressive power of FO and extensions thereof. The results of this thesis can be divided into three parts. The first part considers the locality and non-locality properties of formulae of FO with modulo-counting quantifiers which may use arbitrary numerical predicates in an invariant way. The second part considers sentences of FO which may use a linear order and the corresponding addition in an invariant way and obtains a characterisation of the regular finite tree languages which can be defined by such sentences: these are the same tree languages which are definable by FO-sentences without numerical predicates with certain cardinality predicates. For the proof, we obtain a characterisation of the tree languages definable in this logic in terms of algebraic operations on trees. The third part compares the expressive power and the succinctness of different ex- tensions of FO on structures of bounded tree-depth.

Full textThe intended goal of this manuscript is to build bridges between two definitions of complexity. One of them, called the algorithmic complexity is well-known to any computer scientist as the difficulty of performing some task such as sorting or optimizing the outcome of some system. The other one, etymologically closer from the word "complexity" is about what happens when many parts of a system are interacting together. Just as cells in a living body, producers and consumers in some non-planned economies or mathematicians exchanging ideas to prove theorems. On the algorithmic side, the main objects that we are going to use are two models of computations, one called communication protocols, and the other one circuits. Communication protocols are found everywhere in our world, they are the basic stone of almost any human collaboration and achievement. The definition we are going to use of communication reflects exactly this idea of collaboration. Our other model, circuits, are basically combinations of logical gates put together with electrical wires carrying binary values, They are ubiquitous in our everyday life, they are how computers compute, how cell phones make calls, yet the most basic questions about them remain widely open, how to build the most efficient circuits computing a given function, How to prove that some function does not have a circuit of a given size, For all but the most basic computations, the question of whether they can be computed by a very small circuit is still open. On the other hand, our main object of study, cellular automata, is a prototype of our second definition of complexity. What "does" a cellular automaton is exactly this definition, making simple agents evolve with interaction with a small neighborhood. The theory of cellular automata is related to other fields of mathematics, such as dynamical systems, symbolic dynamics, and topology. Several uses of cellular automata have been suggested, ranging from the simple application of them as a model of other biological or physical phenomena, to the more general study in the theory of computation
