Spike-based time-domain analog weighted-sum calculation model for extremely low power VLSI implementation of multi-layer neural networks [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceIn deep neural network (DNN) models, the weighted summation, or multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operation, is an essential and heavy calculation task, which leads to high power consumption in current digital processors.

The Effect of Different Weighting Ratios, Length, and Thickness on Weighted Sum of the First Natural Frequency and Critical Buckling Load for a Laminated Composite Circular Cylindrical Shell [PDF]
Mechanics of Advanced Composite Structures, 2021 In this study, a weighted sum, consisting two non-dimensionalized quantities critical buckling force and natural frequency, is employed to maximize the objective function for a laminated composite circular cylindrical shell. The function is considered to

Private Weighted Sum Aggregation [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, 2022 As large amounts of data are circulated both from users to a cloud server and between users, there is a critical need for privately aggregating the shared data. This paper considers the problem of private weighted sum aggregation with secret weights, where an aggregator wants to compute the weighted sum of the local data of some agents.

Sums of weighted averages of gcd-sum functions, II [PDF]
Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics, 2020 In this paper, we establish the following two identities involving the Gamma function and Bernoulli polynomials, namely $$ \sum_{k\leq x}\frac{1}{k^s} \sum_{j=1}^{k^s}\log \left(\frac{j}{k^s}\right) \sum_{\substack{d|k \\ d^{s}|j}}f* (d) \quad {\rm and } \quad \sum_{k\leq x}\frac{1}{k^s}\sum_{j=0}^{k^{s}-1} B_{m}\sum_{\substack{d|k \\ d^{s}|j}} f ...

Economic Theory, 2020 AbstractWhen choosing an alternative that has multiple attributes, it is common to form a weighted sum ranking. In this paper, we provide an axiomatic analysis of the weighted sum criterion using a general choice framework. We show that a preference order has aweakweighted sum representation if it satisfies three basic axioms: Monotonicity, Translation

Sums of weighted averages of gcd-sum functions [PDF]
International Journal of Number Theory, 2018 Let [Formula: see text] be the greatest common divisor of the integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give several interesting asymptotic formulas for weighted averages of the [Formula: see text]-sum function [Formula: see text] and the function [Formula: see text] for any positive integers [Formula: see text] and ...
