We walk through an optimization problem step by step, clearly explaining how to identify variables, set up the correct function, apply derivatives, and find maximum or minimum values. Each step is ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

Palo Alto, California-based D-Wave Quantum Inc. claims to be the first company that sells computers that leverage quantum effects in their operation. The company recently demonstrated how its quantum ...

Does calculus play a role in analyzing financial markets and predicting stock prices? The short answer is yes. Calculus is a powerful tool used by financial analysts, traders, and quants to make ...

Abstract: Many engineering design optimization problems can be represented as mixed-variable optimization problems. This study presents a heuristic approach for solving mixed-variable optimization ...

The paper presents a topology optimization methodology for 2D elastodynamic problems using the boundary element method (BEM). The topological derivative is derived based on the variation method and ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a study led by ...

Abstract: Ising machines are next-generation computers expected to efficiently sample near-optimal solutions of combinatorial optimization problems. Combinatorial optimization problems are modeled as ...
