The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

If you want to accentuate the importance of a problem, it seems sensible to explain how prevalent it is. Lots of people are at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Lots of women carry a gene that makes them ...

3dbin packer where the bin size is unknown/undefined. Given a set of items the algorithm will try to give the smallest single bin to fit all items.

This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...
