A century ago, the great mathematician David Hilbert posed a probing question in pure mathematics. A recent advance in optimization theory is bringing Hilbert’s work into a world of self-driving cars.

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

You trained deeply in Indian classical music. Few people expect that journey to lead to math education. When did you first ...

But quantum supremacy is not a single, sweeping victory to be sought—a broad Rubicon to be crossed—but rather a drawn-out series of small duels. It will be established problem by problem, quantum ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We show that the stochastic versions of some classical problems in combinatorial optimization may be imbedded in multiparameter subadditive ...
