The quest to approximate irrational numbers with fractions reveals hidden patterns, surprising hierarchies and enduring mathematical mysteries ...

Quantum computing news usually picks up near the end of the year, as companies try to provide evidence that they are hitting ...

NP-complete for general graphs APX-hard: difficult to approximate within a constant factor Generalizes well-known problems such as maximum clique and subgraph isomorphism ...

Timely reconstruction of epidemic dynamics is essential for public health, and structured coalescent models constitute an essential tool for this purpose. However, statistical and computational ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

A large focus of quantum algorithms has been on the determination of ground state properties of a given Hamiltonian, with a much smaller effort on extracting excited state properties 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Abstract: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has the potential for cost-efficiency, manage-convenience, and flexibility services but meanwhile poses challenges for the service function chain (SFC) ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Abstract: In applied and numerical algebraic geometry, many problems are reduced to computing an approximation to a real algebraic curve. In order to elevate the results of such a computation to the ...

Kadane’s Algorithm is a well-known approach for solving the maximum subarray sum problem, which finds the contiguous subarray with the largest sum in a given array of integers. maxSoFar: Stores the ...

Abstract: Identifying positive influence dominating set (PIDS) with the smallest cardinality can produce positive effect with the minimal cost on a social network. The purpose of this article is to ...
