We have reinvestigated the structural and thermodynamic properties of the squarewell and the square-shoulder system using two different theoretical frameworks, i.e., the optimized random-phase approximation and the Rogers–Young integral equation. We discuss the limits of applicability of the respective concepts and compare the results with ‘exact’ Monte Carlo simulation results and with data ob...

ÐThe aim of this paper is to accelerate division, square root, and square root reciprocal computations when the Goldschmidt method is used on a pipelined multiplier. This is done by replacing the last iteration by the addition of a correcting term that can be looked up during the early iterations. We describe several variants of the Goldschmidt algorithm, assuming 4-cycle pipelined multiplier, ...

We show a new algorithm and improved bound for the online square-into-square packing problem using a hybrid shelf-packing approach. This 2-dimensional packing problem involves packing an online sequence of squares into a unit square container without any two squares overlapping. We seek the largest area α such that any set of squares with total area at most α can be packed. We show an algorithm...
