  • Chapter 13 Rectangular Duals
    Chapter 13 Rectangular Duals 13.1 Intro duction In this chapter we consider the problem of representing a graph G bya rectangu- lar dual. This is applied in the design of o or planning of electronic chips and in architectural design. A rectangular dual is de ned as follows. A rectangular subdi- vision system of a rectangle R is a partition of R into a set = fR ;R ;:::;R g 1 2 n of non-overlapping rectangles such that no four rectangles in meet at the same p oint. A rectangular dual of a planar graph G is a rectangular sub division system and a one-to-one corresp ondence R : V ! suchthattwovertices u and v are adjacentin G if and only if their corresp onding rectangles RuandRv share a common b oundary. In the application of this representation, the vertices of G repre- sent circuit mo dules and the edges represent mo dule adjacencies. A rectangular dual provides a placement of the circuit mo dules that preserves the required adjacencies. Figure 13.1 shows an example of a planar graph and its rectangular dual. This problem was rst studied by Bhasker & Sahni [6, 7] and Ko zminski & Kin- nen [73 ]. Bhasker & Sahni gave a linear time algorithm to construct rectangular duals [7]. The algorithm is fairly complicated and requires manyintriguing pro ce- dures. The co ordinates of the rectangular dual constructed by it are real numb ers and b ear no meaningful relationship to the structure of the graph. This algorithm consists of two ma jor steps: 1 constructing a so-called regular edge labeling REL of G; and 2 constructing the rectangular dual using this lab eling.

  • Additional Exercises for Convex Optimization
    Additional Exercises for Convex Optimization Stephen Boyd Lieven Vandenberghe February 18, 2021 This is a collection of additional exercises, meant to supplement those found in the book Convex Optimization, by Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe. These exercises were used in several courses on convex optimization, EE364a (Stanford), EE236b (UCLA), or 6.975 (MIT), usually for homework, but sometimes as exam questions. Some of the exercises were originally written for the book, but were removed at some point. Many of them include a computational component using one of the software packages for convex optimization: CVX (Matlab), CVXPY (Python), or Convex.jl (Julia). We refer to these collectively as CVX*. (Some problems have not yet been updated for all three languages.) The files required for these exercises can be found at the book web site www.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/. You are free to use these exercises any way you like (for example in a course you teach), provided you acknowledge the source. In turn, we gratefully acknowledge the teaching assistants (and in some cases, students) who have helped us develop and debug these exercises. Pablo Parrilo helped develop some of the exercises that were originally used in MIT 6.975, Sanjay Lall and John Duchi developed some other problems when they taught EE364a, and the instructors of EE364a during summer quarters developed others. We'll update this document as new exercises become available, so the exercise numbers and sections will occasionally change. We have categorized the exercises into sections that follow the book chapters, as well as various additional application areas.

In the second year of this format, teams from the Big Ten Conference will face off with non-Big Ten teams in a showcase weekend of college wrestling dual meets. Last season, eight Big Ten teams hosted events around the country. In 2017, the Big Ten will be visiting college campuses in the ACC, Big 12, EIWA, EWL and Southern Conference. The showcase dual will be on February 19 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, as No. 1 Oklahoma State (14-0) will host No. 2 Penn State (13-0) in a battle of the last two unbeaten teams in Division I. The dual is a rematch of last year's National Duals championship match won by Penn State 29-18 in Penn State's sold-out Rec Hall. Oklahoma State holds a 13-7-1 all-time lead in the series, including an 8-2 mark at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
