In the teaching of computer science, metaphors and analogies are especially fitting: the essence of algorithms is abstract discrete structures, and to help learners quickly grasp the logic within, we ...

The Department has a strong faculty working in various topics in discrete mathematics, especially algorithmic aspects. The interface between Theoretical Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics has ...

The discrete cosine transform (DCT) remains a cornerstone of modern image and video compression techniques, enabling the decomposition of visual data into frequency components that can be efficiently ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We present a modification of the simulated annealing algorithm designed for solving discrete stochastic optimization problems. Like the ...

The MM (minorization—maximization) principle is a versatile tool for constructing optimization algorithms. Every EM algorithm is an MM algorithm but not vice versa. This article derives MM algorithms ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered ...
