Complexity theorists sort problems into categories, called complexity classes, based on the resource demands of the best algorithms for solving them — that is, the algorithms that run fastest or use ...

It is well known that their approach can also be used to solve the general problem, without affecting the complexity of the algorithm. In this paper, we present an algorithm to solve the economic lot ...

Theoretical computer scientists are always probing the relationship of space (memory) and time. For 50 years, experts knew that a calculation of X steps required X/log X memory slots, but a new ...

Recall that O (1) is pronounced “Big Oh of 1.” (See Part 1 for a reminder of how time and space complexity measurements are used to evaluate data structures.) ...

Will algorithms designed for interconnected computers hold up if some of the machines are not here on Earth but flying about in space, onboard satellites or spacecraft?
