Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can. By Alexander Nazaryan Researchers in Switzerland ...

Sorting is one of the most commonly invoked primitives in production software. It appears in database query planners, compiler register allocators, game engine rendering pipelines, and machine ...

Abstract: Real-world optimization problems are becoming increasingly complex and require effective and versatile algorithms to provide reliable solutions. However, the no-free-lunch theorem indicates ...

This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...

Abstract: The research primarily examines the significance of pivot selection of the widely used QuickSort algorithm in order to increase the overall performance and ...

This paper provides new evidence on the causal relationship between income and short-term health in the United States. We study a randomized experiment in which 1,000 low-income adults age 21 to 40 ...
