Abstract: This paper proposes an improved Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (IRRT) algorithm designed to address the challenges of path planning for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in complex ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

Medicare Advantage plans’ increasing use of predictive algorithms to assist in “high-stakes” decisions is leading to substantial and immediate cuts to nursing home lengths of stay, a new study ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Abstract: Many online resource allocation algorithms have been recently proposed to handle optimization problems in dynamic scenarios. However, none of these algorithms have been designed to take into ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. 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 ...

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) nowadays have been widely used in ocean observation missions, helping researchers to monitor climate change, collect environmental data, and observe marine ecosystem ...

Analytical chemistry researchers at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) have developed a novel algorithm that significantly improves the analysis of ...

A method for determining the average photon path length in a slab of multiple scattering material is presented. Radiances can be obtained from the radiative transfer equation and subsequently ...

Ritwik is a passionate gamer who has a soft spot for JRPGs. He's been writing about all things gaming for six years and counting. Spoiler Warning: Due to the nature of this list topic, narrative ...
