A hybrid SA-EA method for finding the maximum number of switching gates in a combinational circuit
Ichiro R. Ruiz Obregon, Alberto Palacios Pawlovsky · IEICE Electronics Express · 2008
This paper presents a hybrid of simulating annealing (SA) and an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to determine the input pair that cause the maximum number of switching gates in a combinational circuit. We found that this combination provides better results than those obtained when only using either SA or EA.
