Mark Jerrum, Alistair Sinclair (UC Berkeley) and Eric Vigoda (Georgia Tech) received the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Test of Time Award at a virtual ceremony on Wednesday 23 June at the ...

Elegant algorithm. Published 21 September 2002. From Cristian Calude . I disagree with Nicola Dixon’s claim that “Experts had suspected a polynomial-time algorithm was possible” (17 August ...

Babai’s proposed algorithm doesn’t bring graph isomorphism all the way into P, but it comes close. It is quasi-polynomial, he asserts, which means that for a graph with n nodes, the algorithm’s ...

Polynomial Time Algorithm: An algorithm whose running time is upper bounded by a polynomial expression in the size of the input, considered efficient in computer science.

Computer scientists generally consider an algorithm to be efficient if its running time can be expressed not as a factorial but as a polynomial, such as n 2 or n 3; polynomials grow much more ...
