Abstract
An arbitrary single-layer detailed routine L of a set of two-terminal nets is considered. The necessary and sufficient condition for a layout to have minimum length under homotopic transformations (i.e. without changing the given global routing) is presented. Based on the proposed classification and the motion of line-segment visibility, an exact algorithm that minimizes the total wire length of L is given. The proposed algorithm runs in O (n 2) time, where n is the number of bends in L
