Complexity theorists sort problems into categories, called complexity classes, based on the resource demands of the best algorithms for solving them—that is, the algorithms that run fastest or ...

A class of production planning problems is considered in which known demands have to be satisfied over a finite horizon at minimum total costs. For each period, production and storage cost functions ...

We demonstrate its applicability by considering the min-cost flow problem, by giving a novel algorithm for linear programming over unimodular spaces, and by providing a different proof that for ...

Computer Scientists Discover Limits of Major Research Algorithm The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult ...
