In recent years, the frequency of weather-related natural disasters—cyclones, torrential rains, floods—has increased as a consequence of global warming. These disasters cause billions of dollars in ...

Tensor networks enable researchers to tackle quantum physics problems previously thought to be solvable only by quantum computers. Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation By applying a 1980s ...

Timely reconstruction of epidemic dynamics is essential for public health, and structured coalescent models constitute an essential tool for this purpose. However, statistical and computational ...

The gap between the Social Security check most people receive and the maximum possible benefit is enormous, and it comes down to a handful of decisions made over a working lifetime. In 2026, the ...

Part of the DynGraphLab — Dynamic Graph Algorithms open source framework. Developed at the Algorithm Engineering Group, Heidelberg University. Python Interface: An easy-to-use Python interface for ...

NP-complete for general graphs APX-hard: difficult to approximate within a constant factor Generalizes well-known problems such as maximum clique and subgraph isomorphism ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

We study the problem of estimating the size of a maximum matching in sublinear time. The problem has been studied extensively in the literature and various algorithms and lower bounds are known for it ...

Abstract: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has the potential for cost-efficiency, manage-convenience, and flexibility services but meanwhile poses challenges for the service function chain (SFC) ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Abstract: In applied and numerical algebraic geometry, many problems are reduced to computing an approximation to a real algebraic curve. In order to elevate the results of such a computation to the ...
