On the Probabilistic Characterization of Nano-Based Circuits

The paper presents a novel probabilistic logical model to describe the nanodevice states. It describes the probability distribution of outputs. The model is based on observations on statistical physics and Markov random field. Different from previous model [Bahar (2004),
