Primal methods constitute a common approach to solving (combinatorial) optimization problems. Starting from a given feasible solution, they successively produce new feasible solutions with ...

The key element which separates today's artificial intelligence (AI) systems and what we consider to be human thought and learning processes could be boiled down to no more than an algorithm. That's ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

This paper studies Fisk's stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) assignment model in which travellers are assumed not to have perfect knowledge of the traffic system. It is shown that the stochastic ...

What did you dream of doing when you were 16 years old? I wanted to drive a car and travel the world. But American mathematician Ray Solomonoff had more ambitious goals at that age. He wanted to find ...
