For 20 years, a computational complexity theory researcher has posted updates about his work on his blog, Shtetl-Optimized. Last week, a Sept. 27 blog post he made about his recent findings began ...

In computational complexity theory, P and NP are two classes of problems. P is the class of decision problems that a deterministic Turing machine can solve in polynomial time. In useful terms, any ...

Graph theory has long provided a robust mathematical framework for investigating networks, relations and connectivity in both abstract and applied settings. Recent advances have markedly refined our ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 44, No. 3 (August 2019), pp. 783-792 (10 pages) While the computational complexity of many game-theoretic solution concepts, notably Nash equilibrium, has now ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In the game theory approach to the problem of allocating cost, the users of a facility are viewed as players in a cooperative n-person game.

At first glance, the big news coming out of this summer’s conference on the theory of computing appeared to be something of a letdown. For more than 40 years, researchers had been trying to find a ...

The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem. Many aspects of modern applied research ...
