We walk through an optimization problem step by step, clearly explaining how to identify variables, set up the correct function, apply derivatives, and find maximum or minimum values. Each step is ...

Abstract: Several real-world applications introduce derivativefree optimization problems, called variable dimension problems, where the problem's dimension is not known in advance. Despite their ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

It turns out Trump Derangement Syndrome and late-night comedy don’t mix. The announcement in July that CBS was canceling Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” seemed to surprise a lot of people. And Colbert’s ...

OpenAI has pulled a much-discussed video promoting the friendship between CEO Sam Altman and legendary Apple designer Jony Ive (plus, incidentally, OpenAI’s $6.5 billion deal to acquire Ive and Altman ...

KARLSRUHE, Germany and COLLEGE PARK, Md.– Kipu Quantum and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) announced what they said is a record achievement: the successful solution of “the most complex known protein folding ...

Some 70% of Suffolk County homes and businesses still rely on cesspools — but officials are planning to shell out millions to plug those properties into the municipal sewer system. County Executive Ed ...

When the pandemic upended the world of higher education, Robin Pugh, a professor at City College of San Francisco, began to see one puzzling problem in her online courses: Not everyone was a real ...

Annealing processors (APs) are gaining popularity for solving complex optimization problems. Fully-coupled Ising model APs are especially valued for their flexibility, but balancing capacity (number ...
