The Study of Turbo Codes and Iterative Decoding
By combining the proposed engineering tools and the BER asymptote at high Eb/N0, we obtain a new estimate of the average BER performance of the finite-length turbo codes in the form of a lower bound. The amount of computation needed to obtain the lower bound is much less than a full simulation of …

Efficient computation of fixpoints that arise in abstract interpretation
Program analysis is critical to many software engineering tools. However, modern programming languages make use of a number of constructs that greatly complicate dataflow analyses, for example, unrestricted pointers, higher-order functions, and dynamic allocation. Program analyses based on abstract …
