Abstract: Mathematical optimization is the process of determining the set of globally or locally optimal parameters in a finite or infinite search space. It has been extensively employed in the ...

Introduction: We present Quantum Adaptive Search (QAGS), a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for global optimization of multivariate functions. The method employs an adaptive mechanism that ...

Did you consider yourself a mathematician the last time you sat down to solve a Sudoku puzzle? It’s certainly a mentally stimulating activity—review the squares, jot down a few potential answers, scan ...

Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their microstructure can be quite complicated, making them difficult to model ...

Since the start of the 20th century, the heart of mathematics has been the proof — a rigorous, logical argument for whether a given statement is true or false. Mathematicians’ careers are measured by ...

Introduction: The increasing emphasis on sustainable finance policies has necessitated the development of advanced mathematical models to optimize bank investment portfolios and debt structures. While ...

Learning a new skill can be difficult, especially when it’s relatively complex. It’s often hard to keep definitions, concepts, and descriptions straight when you’re trying to make inroads into an area ...
