The increased focus on heuristics for the approximate solution of integer programs has led to more sophisticated analysis methods for studying their performance. This paper is concerned with the worst ...

This first post in The Worst Case blog focuses on the skills, resources, and techniques needed to properly perform a worst-case circuit analysis and some ...

A “worst case” analysis of rail voltage decoupling for a digital circuit board was required, but the challenge was to determine what the worst case current pulse circumstances could actually be. The ...

In this paper, we analyze the worst-case performance of heuristics for the classical economic lot-sizing problem with time-invariant cost parameters. We consider a general class of online heuristics ...

Digital worst-case timing analysis (WCTA) analyzes the timing of digital devices under worst-case end-of-life conditions including initial, temperature, aging, and radiation tolerances.
