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 ...

We describe an algorithm for the 0-1 knapsack problem (KP), which relies mainly on three new ideas. The first one is to focus on what we call the core of the problem, namely, a knapsack problem ...

Sometimes, wrapping your head around mathematical concepts can be tricky without a visual aid. Thankfully we have makers like ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We consider the optimal stopping problem for g(Zn), where Zn, n = 1,2,..., is a homogeneous Markov sequence. An algorithm, called forward ...
