A sequential realization of multiple-output logic functions is presented. A conventional sequential realization is based on SBDDs (Shared reduced ordered Binary Decision Diagrams). In this paper, we propose PQMDD (Paged Quasi-reduced ordered Multi-valued Decision Diagram) as a new data structure. A function is represented by a PQMDD, and stored in memory. Dedicated control circuits traverse the...

Sequential learning is that discipline of machine learning that deals with dependent data. In this paper, we use the Multi-scale Stacked Sequential Learning approach (MSSL) to solve the task of pixel-wise classification based on contextual information. The main contribution of this work is a shifting technique applied during the testing phase that makes possible, thanks to template images, to c...

In fractal image compression the encoding step is computationally expensive. A large number of sequential searches through a list of domains (portions of the image) are carried out while trying to nd a best match for another image portion. We show that this step can be replaced by multi-dimensional nearest neighbor search which runs in logarithmic time instead of linear time required for the co...

We study the problem of maintaining a dynamic ordered set subject to insertions, deletions, and traversals of k consecutive elements. This problem is trivially solved on a RAM and on a simple two-level memory hierarchy. We explore this traversal problem on more realistic memory models: the cache-oblivious model, which applies to unknown and multi-level memory hierarchies, and sequential-access ...

The sequential assembly of first terminally functionalized bishydrazone ligands followed by their coordination with Zn( ii ) metal cations yields peripherally multi-functionalized [2 × 2] grid-type complexes.
