A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...

Complexity theory is a branch of computer science that studies the resources required to solve computational problems, particularly focusing on the classification of problems based on their inherent ...

Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problems (commonly referred to as #CSP) form a foundational framework in computational complexity theory by addressing the challenge of enumerating all possible ...

The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem. Many aspects of modern applied research ...

Ashutosh Trivedi is an Associate Professor of computer science at the University of Colorado Boulder. His researchinterests lie at the intersection of computer science, control theory, and machine ...

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

Computer science graduate students from around the world are brought together at UW to learn in an exciting atmosphere. Students are encouraged to bring their curiosity and sense of discovery to each ...

The game of chess has long been central to computer science and AI-related research, most notably in IBM’s Deep Blue in the 1990s and, more recently, AlphaZero. But the game is about more than ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

Assembly theory bridges the gap between physics and biology in explaining how complex objects are identifiable as products of evolution and how reusability of parts allows novelty and identical ...
