A new parameter extraction methodology local ratio evaluation is presented which is well suited for converting one model to another. An example is given for VBIC model extraction by going through Spice Gummel-Poon (SGP) model. It is based on the fact that the VBIC model is a direct enhancement and extension of SGP model. Firstly, the standard SGP model is extracted in the standard way. Then, SG...

The classification-tree method developed by Grochtmann et al. provided a useful approach for constructing test cases from functional specifications. It was automated by Chen and Poon through their tree construction methodology. In a follow-up study, Chen and Poon found that the effectiveness of constructing legitimate test cases could be improved under certain circumstances via a classification...

The p–n junction i–u characteristic model is decisive for the accuracy enhancement of calibration-free temperature measurement. In this paper, we give a survey of adapted physically-based p–n junction i–u characteristic models, such as the Ebers–Moll2, the Ebers–Moll3, and the Gummel–Poon model. Furthermore, we build new models through polynomial extensions to the fundamental Shockley model. Th...

This paper compares the pricing and hedging performance of the LMM model against two spot-rate models, namely Hull-White and Black-Karasinski, and the more recent Swap Market Model from an Asset-Liability-Management (ALM) perspective. In contrast to previous studies in the literature, our emphasis here is on ALM and we use hedging performance on Bermudan swaptions to proxy risk management outco...

Directed st-connectivity is the problem of deciding whether or not there exists a path from a distinguished node s to a distinguished node t in a directed graph. We prove a time– space lower bound on the probabilistic NNJAG model of Poon [Proc. 34th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, Palo Alto, CA, 1993, pp. 218–227]. Let n be the number of nodes in the input graph and S and T...

HCC is the sixth most common malignancies worldwide (Parkin et al., 2005) and its incidence is continuous increasing recently (El-Serag et al., 1999). Surgical resection is regarded as a potentially curative treatment for patients with HCC and it has become a safe operation with very low morbidity and mortality rates because of the improvement in surgical techniques and perioperative management...

This paper presents a scaleable model generation methodology of bipolar transistors. Although the methodology has been targeted towards the compact model HICUM, it can also be applied to an appropriate subcircuit extension of the conventional SPICE Gummel-Poon model (SGPM), thereby allowing its usage in any environment. The methodology enables a generation of extensive model libraries containin...
