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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Sorting algorithms are fundamental to computational efficiency, with traditional methods like Quick Sort, Merge Sort, and Heap Sort being widely used despite their complexity and performance ...

There’s a familiar look in every college lecture hall. The glazed-over stare of someone just realizing they’re twelve slides wholly behind and lost. The professor keeps talking. The notes don’t make ...

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 library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

We discuss three sorting algorithm that have O(n) time, improving over the O(n log(n)) algorithms by imposing extra requirements on the input elements. Counting Sort: elements are integers in a ...

Let's start with an example. Suppose we want to put an array of n floating point numbers into ascending numerical order. This task is called sorting and should be somewhat familiar. One simple ...

Greedy algorithms are an approach to solving certain kinds of optimization problems. Greedy algorithms are similar to dynamic programming algorithms in that the solutions are both efficient and ...
