On The Convergence Of Stochastic Primal-Dual Hybrid Gradient

Volkan Cevher, Ahmet Alacaoglu

In this paper, we analyze the recently proposed stochastic primal-dual hybrid gradient (SPDHG) algorithm and provide new theoretical results. In particular, we prove almost sure convergence of the iterates to a solution with convexity and linear convergenc ...

Advanced Functional Decomposition Using Majority and Its Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Zhufei Chu

Typical operators for the decomposition of Boolean functions in state-of-the-art algorithms are AND, exclusive-OR (XOR), and the 2-to-1 multiplexer (MUX). We propose a logic decomposition algorithm that uses the majority-of-three (MAJ) operation. Such a de ...
