Abstract: An original graph-based model and algorithm for optimal industrial task scheduling is proposed in this article. The innovative algorithm designed, dubbed “Dijkstra optimal tasking” (DOT), is ...

A new study published today in Nature has found that X’s algorithm – the hidden system or “recipe” that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order – shifts users’ political opinions in ...

This article was co-authored with Emma Myer, a student at Washington and Lee University who studies Cognitive/Behavioral Science and Strategic Communication. In today’s digital age, social media has ...

You chose selected. Each dot here represents a single video about selected. While you’re on the app, TikTok tracks how you interact with videos. It monitors your watch time, the videos you like, the ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

Social media companies and their respective algorithms have repeatedly been accused of fueling political polarization by promoting divisive content on their platforms. Now, two U.S. Senators have ...

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: With the deepening of global economic integration, maritime logistics has become the core pillar of international trade, carrying more than 80% of global trade volume. Among the factors ...

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 ...

Abstract: The graph coloring problem involves coloring the nodes of a graph using the minimum number of colors such that no two adjacent nodes share the same color. This NP-hard problem has various ...
