Proving that one quantum measurement is more powerful than another has long been difficult. Physicists from Heinrich Heine ...

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

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

Crunching hard grains together leads to their rigidification, irrespective of how the system is prepared. While certain features of the resulting jammed materials—e.g. their contact force distribution ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

HiGHS is open-source optimization software for linear programming (LP), mixed-integer programming (MIP) and quadratic programming (QP). This talk will give an insight into the state-of-the-art ...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a new dimension reduction strategy for medium and large-scale linear programming problems. The proposed method uses a subset of the original constraints and combines two ...
