The auction algorithm is a simple, well-studied alternative to the Hungarian method that: scales well to large problems, is naturally parallelisable and fits JAX’s accelerator model, is widely used in ...

ABSTRACT: For solving assignment problems of staff, equipment and task in engineering support action, a 3-Dimensional assignment model is established, which contains staff skill level, equipment ...

While delivering his victory speech on Tuesday night, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani made a statement about the government's role in citizens' lives, sparking concern from critics online.

Abstract: This letter develops two distributed algorithms to solve multi-robot task assignment problems (MTAP). We first describe MTAP as an integer linear programming (ILP) problem and then ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Need to solve a problem? You might want to sleep on it—for about 20 minutes. New research suggests that taking a quick, deep nap may help lead to a “eureka” moment, as scientists reported last week in ...

Middle East peace, climate change, Ukraine — if Sisyphus were assigned one of today’s global problems, he’d plead to be returned to rock rolling. So let’s focus for a moment on a global challenge that ...
