We present a complete and explicit description of the class of all acceptance criteria for the simulated annealing algorithm that uniformly depend on the cost of the current and the candidate ...

Sunspots with strong magnetic fields are the most important manifestations of solar activity, appearing as dark features in the photosphere observed in continuum images. We proposed an artificial ...

In computer science, normally we care about asymptotic speedup: We care about, “What is your running time as a function of the size of the problem? Does it grow linearly? Does it grow quadratically?” ...

Quantum technologies have long been pitched as a way to fundamentally change the way drugs are discovered; to start putting the theory to the test, researchers from pharmaceutical company ...
