View on Coursera Course Description. This course continues our data structures and algorithms specialization by focussing on the use of linear and integer programming formulations for solving ...

Discrete combinatorial optimization has a central role in many scientific disciplines, however, for hard problems we lack linear time algorithms that would allow us to solve very large instances.

On Thursday, Simon Meierhans – a member of Kyng’s team – presented a new almost-linear-time algorithm at the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC) in Vancouver. This algorithm solves the ...

New quantum algorithm can solve monster-size equations. ... It tackles linear equations: ... by computer. Still, calculation time grows at least as fast as N does: if N gets 1,000 times larger, ...
