In this paper multi objective optimization problem for partitioning process of VLSI circuit optimization is solved using IPO algorithm. The methodology used in this paper is based upon the dynamic of sliding motion along a frictionless inclined plane. In this work, modules and elements of the circuit are divided into two smaller parts (components) in order to minimize the cutsize and area imbal...

In this paper, we propose an efficient approach to design optimization of analog circuits that is based on the reinforcement learning method. In this work, Multi-Objective Learning Automata (MOLA) is used to design a two-stage CMOS operational amplifier (op-amp) in 0.25μm technology. The aim is optimizing power consumption and area so as to achieve minimum Total Optimality Index (TOI), as a new...

In the last decades, heuristic algorithms are widely used in solving problems in different fields of science and engineering. Most of these methods are inspired by natural phenomena, such as biological behaviours or physical principles.

This paper presents the application of reinforcement learning in automatic analog IC design. In this work, the Multi-Objective approach by Learning Automata is evaluated for accommodating required functionalities and performance specifications considering optimal minimizing of MOSFETs area and power consumption for two famous CMOS op-amps. The results show the ability of the proposed method to ...

This paper presents an optimal kinematic design of a 3PRC (prismatic-revolute-cylindrical) spatial translational parallel manipulator with inclined actuator arrangement by formulating a multi-objective optimization problem. Three performance criteria’s namely Global Conditioning Index (GCI), Global stiffness Index (GSI) and Workspace volume are considered as the objective functions. A multi-obj...

The fused pyrazole and pyrimidine rings in the title compound, C13H10ClN3, are almost coplanar, their planes being inclined to one another by 0.8 (2)°. The mean plane of the fused ring system is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring, as indicated by the dihedral angle between their planes of 9.06 (7)°.
