The push towards a circular economy is one of the most significant industrial shifts of our generation. We are moving away from the linear "take, make, use, dispose" model and embracing a system where ...

This paper proposes a family of line-search methods to deal with weighted orthogonal procrustes problems. In particular, the proposed family uses a search direction based on a convex combination ...

Solving word problems is a key component of math curriculum in primary schools. One must have acquired basic language skills to make sense of word problems. So why do children still find certain word ...

One of the most common ways scientists understand the brain is as a network. This approach is limited, though; since everything is built out of pairs, there is no way to directly assess the ...

Abstract: Multiple patterning lithography (MPL) has been introduced in the integrated circuits manufacturing industry to enhance feature density as the technology node advances. A crucial step of MPL ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

Searching for clues and leads is still something investigators have to do themselves. But if they find creepy-crawlies at the crime scene, these creatures can be of great help. First come the ...

Abstract: Cooperative coevolution (CC) algorithms based on variable decomposition methods are efficient in solving large-scale optimization problems (LSOPs). However, many decomposition methods, such ...

If you've previously been using procedural calls to functions and operations using this library, then from version 3.0 you should use MarkBaker/PHPMatrixFunctions instead (available on packagist as ...
