OF T H E PAPER With the spread of Reed Solomon codes t o portable applications, low power RS decoder design has become important. This paper discusses how the Berlekamp Massey Decoding algorithm can be modified in order t o obtain a low power architecture. In addition, modifications thut speed-up the syndrome and error computations are suggested. T h e n the VLSI design of a low power/high spee...

It is shown that the existence of a BIB design with parameters v = 2k − 2k+1, b = 2v, r = 2k, k, λ = 1 implies the existence of Hadamard matrices of orders 4v and 8vt, where t is an integer for which an orthogonal design of order 4t and type (t, t, t, t) exists.

Prevailing CMOS design practice has been very conservative with regard t o choice of transistor threshold voltage, so as t o avoid the difficult problems of threshold variations and high leakage currclnts. I t is becoming necessary t o scale threshold voltages more aggress~vely in order t o obtain further power reduction, performance improven~ent, and integration density. Substantial leakage re...

One of the most central and long-standing open questions in combinatorial design theory concerns the existence of Steiner t-designs for large values of t. Although in his classical 1987 paper, L. Teirlinck has shown that non-trivial t-designs exist for all values of t, no non-trivial Steiner t-design with t > 5 has been constructed until now. Understandingly, the case t = 6 has received conside...

Let D be a t-(v, k, λ) design and let Ni(D), for 1 ≤ i ≤ t, be the higher incidence matrix of D, a (0, 1)-matrix of size ( v i ) × b, where b is the number of blocks of D. A zero-sum flow of D is a nowhere-zero real vector in the null space of N1(D). A zero-sum k-flow of D is a zero-sum flow with values in {±1, . . . ,±(k− 1)}. In this paper we show that every non-symmetric design admits an int...

The main purpose of this paper is to consider the t-best simultaneousapproximation in fuzzy normed spaces. We develop the theory of t-bestsimultaneous approximation in quotient spaces. Then, we discuss the relationshipin t-proximinality and t-Chebyshevity of a given space and its quotientspace.
