Algorithms are pre-defined ... and efficiently sorting lists alphabetically and numerically. An example of quicksort on a random set of numbers. Source: Znupi/Wikimedia Commons Sorting a set ...

Quicksort is able to terminate very quickly (a characteristic known as “early stopping”). In practice, many sorting utilities evaluate the nature of their input and adaptively use a number of ...

The conventional RTS algorithm achieves near-ML performance for 4-QAM in large-MIMO systems. But its performance for higher-order QAM is far from ML performance. Here, we propose a random-restart RTS ...

The reality is far from this theoretical model but the model is still helpful because of its ability to explain many real ... remains almost the same. Another example of perfect competition ...

Is innovation inherently a hit-or-miss endeavor? Not if you understand why customers make the choices they do. by Clayton M. Christensen, Taddy Hall, Karen Dillon and David S. Duncan For as long ...

Abstract: In undirected graphs with real non-negative weights, we give a new randomized algorithm for the single-source shortest path (SSSP) problem with running time ...

For example, we may have been conditioned to think ... The Emotional Toll of Chronic Back Pain As four women explain, living with ongoing discomfort is so much more than a physical burden.

Example of a Rights Issue Let's say you own 1,000 shares of Wobble Telecom, each of which is worth $5.50. The company is in financial trouble and needs to raise cash to cover its debt obligations.
