The author presents a rapidly convergent algorithm to solve the general portfolio problem of maximizing concave utility functions subject to linear constraints. The algorithm is based on an iterative ...

Researchers planning mating experiments are faced with a critical design choice—deciding how many pairs and which pairs of individuals to mate. The number of crosses in a mating experiment can ...

Categorizing and representing huge amounts of data -- we're talking about peta- or even exabytes of information -- synthetically is a challenge of the future. A research paper proposes an efficient ...

An algorithm makes it possible to measure the dimensions of a room using just a few microphones and a snap of your fingers. There are many promising applications on the horizon. Blind people sometimes ...
