Reliable Low-Power Nano Computations and Communications When von Neumann Augments Kolmogorov

چکیده
This paper presents a novel type of nanoarchitecture which is both device and circuit independent. The starting idea is that computations can be performed in three fundamentally different ways: entirely digital (using Boolean gates), entirely analog (using high precision analog circuits), or mixed (using both digital and low precision analog circuits). The boundaries between these are sometimes very thin. As an example, a threshold logic gate is already mixed, i.e. even if the inputs and the output are Boolean, the weighted sum of its inputs is a (low-precision) analog variable. It has already been suggested that one of the possible mixed approaches will be the most power efficient solution. Still, the main disadvantages of using analog circuits are: (i) their more complex (handcrafted) design, and (ii) their (expected) lower reliability (signal-to-noise / precision). These will be exacerbated by scaling. We will show here how both disadvantages could be tackled. A constructive solution for Kolmogorov’s superposition or a (multi-threshold) threshold logic synthesis, could be used for the automatic synthesis of the (very) low-precision analog parts. Digital or threshold logic circuits could be used to compensate for the accumulation of noise in the cascaded (very) low precision analog circuits. These digital or threshold logic circuits will also contribute to von Neumann’s multiplexing schemes, hence not only compensating for the accumulation of noise, but also increasing the overall fault-tolerance of the system. A few examples will show how this architectural approach could be mapped on top of a given

Various topological forms of Von Neumann regularity in Banach algebras
We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...
متن کاملCalculating Different Topological Indices of Von Neumann Regular Graph of Z_(p^α )
By the Von Neumann regular graph of R, we mean the graph that its vertices are all elements of R such that there is an edge between vertices x,y if and only if x+y is a von Neumann regular element of R, denoted by G_Vnr (R). For a commutative ring R with unity, x in R is called Von Neumann regular if there exists x in R such that a=a2 x. We denote the set of Von Neumann regular elements by V nr...
متن کاملThe James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and uniform normal structure in Banach spaces
Recently, Takahashi has introduced the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants. In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions for uniform normal structure and therefore the fixed point property of a Banach space in terms of the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and the Ptolemy constant. Our main results of the paper significantly generalize and improve many known results in...
متن کاملNonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivations on factor von Neumann algebras
Let $mathcal M$ be a factor von Neumann algebra. It is shown that every nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivation$D={phi_{n}}_{ninmathbb{N}}$ on $mathcal M$ is additive. In particular, if $mathcal M$ is infinite type $I$factor, a concrete characterization of $D$ is given.
