Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and ...

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 ...

Algorithm Analysis Deep Dive began as a part of a flipped classroom experience designed for university students (more about me). As the lectures went online, I realized they were helping a much wider ...

Let’s consider an AI model or agent that needs to write a sorting algorithm such as a quicksort algorithm. In a practical setting, a quicksort performed on a simple list of comparable items has ...

An example of quicksort on a random set of numbers. Source: Znupi/Wikimedia Commons Sorting a set amount of things in order either alphabetically or numerically had always been a laborious and ...
