Algorithm design is more than theory—it's the art of crafting efficient, reliable solutions to real-world problems. From divide-and-conquer strategies to AI-assisted coding, modern approaches blend ...

Algorithms and data structures are the backbone of efficient problem-solving in tech. By learning their principles and design techniques, you can tackle challenges with precision and creativity.

Abstract: The distributed hybrid flowshop scheduling problems (DHFSPs) widely exist in various industrial production processes, and thus have received widespread attention. However, the existing ...

In a conversation with his friends in Bostan, Alex realized that dried fruit is going to be expensive. So he took his basket and went to the grocery store. His son came to help him to buy the basket ...

We publish the best academic work (that's too often lost to peer reviews & the TA's desk) to the global tech community ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

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 ...

We study the greedy (exploitation-only) algorithm in bandit problems with a known reward structure. We allow arbitrary finite reward structures, while prior work focused on a few specific ones. We ...
