With applications ranging from fields as distinct as fuzzy modeling (Xiong 2001), autonomous robot behavior (Luk et al. 2001), learning with backpropagation (Foo et al. 1999), and multicriteria optimization (Viennet et al. 1996), evolutionary methods have become an indispensable tool for systems scientists. Although already studied in the past, an interesting emerging issue is the use of multip...

This paper describes the architecture, design & simulation of ternary logic gates. In a VLSI circuit, approximately 70 percent of the area is devoted to interconnection, 20 percent to insulation, and 10 percent to devices [1]. The binary logic is limited due to interconnect which occupies large area on a VLSI chip. In this work, the designs of ternary-valued logic circuits have been explored ov...
