Introductory problem used to familiarise with the judge's I/O format. Given a list of numbers, count the even numbers and compute their sum. Sort a stack of pancakes using only flip operations ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the new arms race and the centerpiece of defense modernization efforts across multiple countries, including the United States. Yet, despite the surge in AI investments, ...

The auction algorithm is a simple, well-studied alternative to the Hungarian method that: scales well to large problems, is naturally parallelisable and fits JAX’s accelerator model, is widely used in ...

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 ...

Abstract: In past studies on the combined modal split and traffic assignment (CMSTA) problem, there are problems of not considering the three critical factors simultaneously: the user equilibrium (UE) ...

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 ...

Professional astronomers don’t make discoveries by looking through an eyepiece like you might with a backyard telescope. Instead, they collect digital images in massive cameras attached to large ...

Abstract: Task assignment and path planning are crucial links in the task execution of uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster, especially in high-dimensional complex scenarios, the calculation ...

Physical frailty is a pressing public health issue that significantly increases the risk of disability, hospitalization, and mortality. Early and accurate detection of frailty is essential for timely ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...
