We take a logical approach to threshold models, used to study the diffusion of opinions, new technologies, infections, or behaviors in social networks. Threshold models consist of a network graph of agents connected by a social relationship and a threshold value which regulates the diffusion process. Agents adopt a new behavior/product/opinion when the proportion of their neighbors who have alr...

This paper presents a new concept of continuous-valued logic (Multi level logic) (CVL) which can be applied to control the pulse width of an internally generated PWM in a microcontroller. The input threshold voltage controls duty cycle of generated PWM. The basis of continuous-valued logic (CVL) relies on the unstable generated oscillation of a digital output where the program referred non-Schm...

In this paper, a novel method to identify threshold logic functions (TLF) is proposed. Threshold logic is an alternative to conventional Boolean logic, and it is being revisited due to its suitability in emerging technologies, such as QCA, RTD, SET, TPL and Spintronics. Identification and synthesis of TLF are fundamental steps for the development of circuit design flow based on threshold logic....

This paper presents a new, a highly compact implementation of a 32 32 parallel multiplier based on parallel counters. The new multiplier is designed using the recently proposed Self-Timed Threshold Logic (STTL). The design is based on a direct multiplication scheme using depth 2 (15,4) and (7,3) STTL parallel counters and (4:2) compressors. The proposed parallel multiplier reduces the partial p...

This paper presents the rationale for νMOS-based realizations of digital circuits when logic design techniques based on threshold logic gates (TGs) are used. Some practical problems in the νMOS implementation of threshold gates have been identified and solved. The feasibility and versatility of the proposed technique as well as its potential as a low-cost design technique for CMOS technologies ...
