The Placement of Electronic Circuits Problem: A Neural NetworkApproach
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 August 2010
Abstract
The goal of this paper is to apply the Continuous Hopfield Networks (CHN) to thePlacement of Electronic Circuit Problem (PECP). This assignment problem has been expressedas Quadratic Knapsack Problem (QKP). To solve the PECP via the CHN, we choose an energyfunction which ensures an appropriate balance between minimization of the cost functionand simultaneous satisfaction of the PECP constraints. In addition, the parameters of thisfunction must avoid some bad local minima. Finally, some computational experiments solvingthe PECP are included
