What would you like to Propose? I would like to propose adding Smooth Sort, an optimized variant of Heap Sort developed by Edsger Dijkstra. It adapts to partially sorted data, achieving near-linear ...

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 ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

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 the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

Secondary aluminum producers demand high-purity shredded aluminum scrap, which requires extraction from a highly mixed stream of shredded materials. STEINERT has both ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we investigate the convergence of the generalized Bregman alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving nonconvex separable problems with linear constraints.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...
