The evaluation of mathematical functions in hardware is a critical aspect of modern digital system design, particularly in domains such as image analysis, signal processing and embedded computing.

Derivative-free optimisation techniques have emerged as indispensable tools in addressing complex problems where gradient information is either unavailable or unreliable. Such methods bypass the need ...

This paper deals with the packing problem of circles and non-convex polygons, which can be both translated and rotated into a strip with prohibited regions. Using the Ф-function technique, a ...
