Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

In a recent work [6], Borwein and Borwein derived a class of algorithms based on the theory of elliptic integrals that yield very rapidly convergent approximations to elementary constants. The author ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We describe a simplification of a recent polynomial-time algorithm of A. I. Barvinok for counting the number of lattice points in a polyhedron ...

Cathy O’Neil believes there is a dark side to numbers. A mathematician by training, she earned her doctorate at Harvard and went on to become a tenure-track professor at Barnard College. In 2007, ...

Alan Richard Champneys is on the scientific board of the Smith Institute for Industrial Mathematics and Systems Engineering, receives funding from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research ...

For the delivery portion of the overall streaming equation, CDNs use refined content caching and content replication, optimized network paths—including ingress, egress, and midgress data transport—and ...

People tend to obsess over making computer software faster. You can, of course, just crank up the clock speed and add more processors, but often the most powerful way to make something faster is to ...
