Problem Detail: I’m attempting to create an automatic scheduler from a list of tasks I have available. Here are the key points: Each task has been given a priority beforehand and the algorithm should try to maximize the total ‘priority points’ Read More …

[Solved]: How again do certain sorting methods use $o(n log n)$ time?
Problem Detail: I hope this question isn’t too ‘soft’ for here. It’s been a while $tiny{text{an eternity for some people’s standards}}$ since I’ve touched this stuff, and I had a convincing explanation to this question eight minutes ago but must have Read More …
[Solved]: Can quantum computer become perfect chess player?
Problem Detail: Can quantum computer become perfect chess player? Can it determine whether (when both players are perfect) win white or black? (or is it dead heat?) Asked By : porton Answered By : David Richerby I’ve already answered essentially this question, on Read More …
[Solved]: Definition of Strongly Parsimonious Reduction
Problem Detail: There is a well known definition of parsimonious reduction. The standard definition of parsimonious reduction is very intuitive. It simply means that the two problem have the same number of solutions, when on input of one of them we Read More …
[Solved]: Is $O$ contained in $Theta$?
Problem Detail: So I have this question to prove a statement: $O(n)subsetTheta(n)$… I don’t need to know how to prove it, just that in my mind this makes no sense and I think it should rather be that $Theta(n)subset O(n)$. My Read More …
[Solved]: Every AVL tree may be red black tree
Problem Detail: I proved by induction that every AVL tree may be colored such that it will be red black tree. The problem is that I can’t see an error in my proof. Look at my proof. Induction for height. Let’s Read More …
[Solved]: Direct Cache Mapping – Addressing
Problem Detail: I’ve looked through all the other similar questions, but I don’t feel like I understood exactly what I’m supposed to do with my case, so I’m hoping I’m not the only one. In an exercise I’m doing, I’m told Read More …
[Solved]: Why is quiescent consistency compositional, but sequential consistency is not
Problem Detail: I’m having trouble in comparing these two memory consistency models. Essentially for sequential consistency I think of real code like this: int x, y; void ThreadA() { x = 20; //Write int a = y; //Read } void ThreadB() Read More …
[Solved]: Approximate Bayesian Computation VS Monte Carlo Simulation
Problem Detail: I am a little confused about the differences between Approximation Bayesian Computation (ABC) and Monte Carlo Methods (MCM). Citing from wikipedia: Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) constitutes a class of computational methods rooted in Bayesian statistics. In all model-based statistical Read More …
[Solved]: Formulate the Marriage Problem into a Maximum-flow problem (Graph theory)
Problem Detail: Suppose I have $M={1,ldots, n}$ men and $W = {1, ldots, n}$ women and $B ={1, ldots, m}$ brokers, such that each broker knows a subset of $M times W$ and for each pair in this subset a marriage Read More …
