Since the 1930s, the theory of computation has profoundly influenced philosophical thinking about topics such as the theory of the mind, the nature of mathematical knowledge and the prospect of ...

Computational complexity and computability are central themes in theoretical computer science that address the fundamental question of what can be computed and at what cost. Computability theory ...

Computational complexity and proof systems constitute a cornerstone of theoretical computer science, addressing both the inherent difficulty of algorithmic problems and the efficiency of formal ...

A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...

Researchers have used metamathematical techniques to show that certain theorems that look superficially distinct are in fact ...

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 ...

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.

Our era is defined by a constant flow of information. Data from smartphones, wearables and environmental sensors, connected to sharing and analysis platforms, accompany us daily, creating a digital ...

A major advance reveals deep connections between the classes of problems that computers can — and can’t — possibly do. At first glance, the big news coming out of this summer’s conference on the ...

Traditionally, large power plants could keep the system in balance. As the share of variable renewable energy generation increases and EV charging becomes more common, we need much more flexibility in ...
