Things that I've done for the past week: 1. Prepare the lecture slides for the STA. I've done the first part on static timing analysis. I'll work on the statistical timing part early this week. 2. Theoretical proof of the theorem for the ICCAD submission When I was giving the detailed proof for the first two theorems, I found that there was an argument that was not correctly used. Therefore, the theoroem One and Two now become not quite right for arbitrary distributions. My intuition is that to make such a property to hold I shouldn't make it too general (i.e., work for any PDFs). Now I'm thinking to refine those two theorems to make it work. Fortunately, Theorem 3 and 4 still hold, which are the main foundataions for my implementation. Therefore, the overall conclusions in the paper are still valid.
