Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

If you’ve ever completed a sudoku puzzle, then you’ve completed a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). This type of problem is defined as a mathematical question where a number of constraints or ...

Quantum physicists have developed an algorithm that uses a single qubit to solve a problem that had previously needed thousands of them. Quantum computing offers the hope of dramatic increases in ...

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving inequality constrained mini-max optimization problem. In this algorithm, an active set strategy is used together with multiplier method to convert ...

Is my car hallucinating? Is the algorithm that runs the police surveillance system in my city paranoid? Marvin the android in Douglas Adams’s Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy had a pain in all the ...
