Reproducibility is fundamental to science. Yet digital technology casts an increasingly long shadow on the principle. When independent investigators examine studies, they are unable to validate about ...

Every year, the countries competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad arrive with a booklet of their best, most ...

Economists argue in guest essay that so-called "price-fixing" software often recommends lowering rents to reduce vacancies.

Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also ...

A new computational study suggests the Great Pyramid of Giza was built using a sophisticated "Integrated Edge-Ramp" (IER) system, potentially solving a 4,500-year-old architectural enigma. This model ...

Those changes will be contested, in math as in other academic disciplines wrestling with AI’s impact. As AI models become a ...

The world of quantum computing is a noisy place, where error correction is needed to ensure quantum devices run correctly ...

ABSTRACT: Oracle-based quantum algorithms cannot use deep loops because quantum states exist only as mathematical amplitudes in Hilbert space with no physical substrate. Critically, quantum wave ...

Abstract: This article investigates a distributed aggregative optimization problem, focusing on formation control within local constraint sets over a multirobot system. Each robot's local objective ...

In recent years, the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape has shifted from quiet curiosity to relentless noise. Conference taglines, vendor solicitations, and slide decks all seem to begin with the ...

ABSTRACT: Multi-objective optimization remains a significant and realistic problem in engineering. A trade-off among conflicting objectives subject to equality and inequality constraints is known as ...
