Abstract
In this study, we apply a novel synthesis technique for implementing robust digital computation in nanoscale lattices with random interconnects: percolation theory on random graphs. We exploit the non-linearity that occurs through percolation to produce Boolean functionality. We show that the error margins, defined in terms of the steepness of the non-linearity, translate into the degree of defect tolerance. We study the problem of mapping Boolean functions onto lattices with good error margins.
