When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Abstract: This paper focuses mainly on the time and space complexity computation of the Tower of Hanoi, this mathematical game or puzzle is a well-known problem for its exponential time consumption, ...

Introduction: Accurate identification of cherry maturity and precise detection of harvestable cherry contours are essential for the development of cherry-picking robots. However, occlusion, lighting ...

Complexity: a trait that attracts some and deters others. In the classroom, it can feel intimidating or unnecessary. In conversation, however, it makes for surprises that add interest to your day, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

MicroAlgo Inc. announced its research on the Quantum Information Recursive Optimization (QIRO) algorithm, which aims to address complex combinatorial optimization problems using quantum computing.

Real-world statistical systems are often complex, and efficiently detecting minor anomalies can be the key to avoiding catastrophe. For example, small timescale changes in the current and voltage ...
