FSNet is a new problem-solving tool that can find the optimal solution to an extremely complex problem without violating any of the problem’s many constraints. Developed at MIT, FSNet could help power ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We consider the optimal stopping problem for g(Zn), where Zn, n = 1,2,..., is a homogeneous Markov sequence. An algorithm, called forward ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

This paper deals with the nonlinear complementarity problem on the product space of unit simplices, S. A simplicial variable dimension algorithm developed by van der Laan and Talman for proper ...

A new computer program works smarter, not harder, to solve problems faster than its predecessors. The algorithm is designed to find the best solution to a given problem among all possible options.

Computer scientists often encounter problems relevant to real-life scenarios. For instance, "multiagent problems," a category characterized by multi-stage decision-making by multiple decision makers ...

Radar can miss targets moving at similar speeds. Check out a method that can improve detection without extra hardware.

Scientists say using math to sort through DNA could help investigators put stubborn cold cases to rest. The approach combines the relatively new field of forensic genetic genealogy—solving crime by ...

Have a good mind for computational problem-solving? Fancy netting a cool $1 million for your efforts? Then the University of St. Andrews and the Clay Mathematics Institute sure have the competition ...
