“We had to control how big a number shows up as we do this guessing and coordination,” said Peng. Peng and Vempala prove that their algorithm can solve any sparse linear system in n2.332 steps. This ...

Binary search is a cornerstone of computer science, offering a significant performance improvement over linear search. Among the numerous technical tools available for developers, binary search ...

All number systems, by nature, can represent smaller numbers more precisely than larger ones, but because binary offers fewer unique digits to represent each number it runs out of space faster ...

We give a branch-and-cut algorithm for solving linear programs (LPs) with continuous separable piecewise-linear cost functions (PLFs). Models for PLFs use continuous variables in special-ordered sets ...
