Abstract: In this paper, we propose the Priority Facility Location Problem with Outliers (PFLPO), which is a generalization of both the Facility Location Problem with Outliers (FLPO) and Priority ...

We study the problem of estimating the size of a maximum matching in sublinear time. The problem has been studied extensively in the literature and various algorithms and lower bounds are known for it ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Abstract: Identifying positive influence dominating set (PIDS) with the smallest cardinality can produce positive effect with the minimal cost on a social network. The purpose of this article is to ...

We propose the Trust Region Preference Approximation (TRPA) algorithm ⚙️, which integrates rule-based optimization with preference-based optimization for LLM reasoning tasks 🤖🧠. As a ...

A surprise announcement from scientists involved in monitoring the solar cycle has finally confirmed that the sun's most active and dangerous phase — solar maximum — is already well underway, and ...

An international research team has developed a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based on quantum computing for real-time maximum power point tracking (MPPT) implementation in PV systems.

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...
