Algebra is the discipline of pure mathematics that is concerned with the study of the abstract properties of a set, once this is endowed with one or more operations that respect certain rules (axioms) ...

Combinatorial optimisation is a fundamental field in applied mathematics and computer science that focuses on finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects. In this context, problems are ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

Researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed what “a novel approach” to combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs). COPs are ...

A new series of papers has settled a long-standing question related to the popular game in which players seek patterned sets of three cards. In a series of papers posted online in recent weeks, ...

The card game Set has long inspired mathematicians to create interesting problems. Now, a technique based on large language models (LLMs) is showing that artificial intelligence (AI) can help ...
