Algorithmic complexity and information theory are foundational disciplines that intersect to elucidate how data is structured, transmitted and computed. At its core, algorithmic complexity seeks ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a column on the tangled questions of our technological age. “Addressing algorithmic bias is like hygiene,” she told me. “You don’t brush once, you don’t ...

Computer Scientists Discover Limits of Major Research Algorithm The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult ...

We demonstrate its applicability by considering the min-cost flow problem, by giving a novel algorithm for linear programming over unimodular spaces, and by providing a different proof that for ...

Using two analytic tools found in the complexity literature, the genetic algorithm and evolutionary game theory, the Article tests the extent to which these three normative claims are borne out. The ...

A new theory could bring a way to make quantum algorithm development less of an accidental process, say scientists.
