A teenage programmer tests a set of instructions she has written to get her computer to mop the floor. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

The minimum cost flow problem is to determine a least cost shipment of a commodity through a network G = (N, A) in order to satisfy demands at certain nodes from available supplies at other nodes. In ...

What changes when algorithms interact with algorithms, and what to do about it. A new business infrastructure is emerging with enormous potential impact but almost no conscious design. In this new ...

In recent years, machine learning (ML) algorithms have proved themselves to be remarkably useful in helping people deal with different tasks: data classification and clustering, pattern revealing, ...

Algorithms are a staple of modern life. People rely on algorithmic recommendations to wade through deep catalogs and find the best movies, routes, information, products, people and investments.

We derive several algorithms for the busy period distribution of the canonical Markovian fluid flow model. One of them is similar to the Latouche-Ramaswami algorithm for quasi-birth-death models and ...
