This camper was able to pass the tests but their algorithm didn't perform a swap of the smallest element and the first unsorted element. def selection_sort(items ...

What would you like to Propose? I would like to propose adding Smooth Sort, an optimized variant of Heap Sort developed by Edsger Dijkstra. It adapts to partially sorted data, achieving near-linear ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

Large language models have made remarkable strides in natural language processing, yet they still encounter difficulties when addressing complex planning and reasoning tasks. Traditional methods often ...

Abstract: We study several tested cases of the error-correcting graph isomorphism problem. The set Sn of n! permutations on n items is the search space for this optimization problem. We apply ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The looming challenges of quantum computing have prompted the Java Platform to implement two advanced cryptographic solutions in its upcoming release, Java 24, slated for March 2025. Quantum computers ...
