What’s the secret to prompting an AI to solve math problems that have left humans stumped? Tell it to believe in itself ...

For more than a century, physicists debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments ...

What most haulers don’t know is what their routes are actually costing them — not the miles, not the fuel, but the compounded ...

How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

Combinatorial optimization problems are often encountered in real-world applications, including logistics, scheduling and ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

I cut my teeth getting grounded in principles of design thinking when I launched a strategic design MBA during my university teaching years. Design thinking is essentially a problem-solving process ...

Abstract: Bilevel optimization involves two levels of optimization, where one optimization problem is nested within the other. The structure of the problem often requires solving a large number of ...

In an impressive feat, Japanese startup Sakana AI’s coding agent ALE-Agent recently secured first place in the AtCoder Heuristic Contest (AHC058), a complex coding competition that involves ...

A Korean mathematician has won international recognition for solving a geometry puzzle that had resisted proof for nearly six decades. US magazine Scientific American named the research by Baek ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present an approximation-based strategy for solving the problem of nonlinear trajectory optimization with the consideration of probabilistic constraints.

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.
