Reproducibility is fundamental to science. Yet digital technology casts an increasingly long shadow on the principle. When independent investigators examine studies, they are unable to validate about ...

Economists argue in guest essay that so-called "price-fixing" software often recommends lowering rents to reduce vacancies.

Abstract: The manufacturing industry encounters numerous optimization problems, one of which is the optimization of storage location assignment (OSLA) problem in logistics. OSLA is a combinatorial ...

Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also ...

A new computational study suggests the Great Pyramid of Giza was built using a sophisticated "Integrated Edge-Ramp" (IER) system, potentially solving a 4,500-year-old architectural enigma. This model ...

Those changes will be contested, in math as in other academic disciplines wrestling with AI’s impact. As AI models become a ...

The world of quantum computing is a noisy place, where error correction is needed to ensure quantum devices run correctly ...

Abstract: For increasingly complex real-world optimization problems, a large number of researches have shown that differential evolution (DE) is an effective problem-solving algorithm. Despite its ...
