A Democrat-led bid to force through a bill to pay the military during the government shutdown was blocked in the House on Friday. Democrats and some Republicans have been demanding a House vote on ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

Abstract: A novel and efficient hybrid sorting algorithm, termed the Merge-Block-Insertion sort (MBISort) algorithm, is proposed. MBISort combines the principles of insertion sort, block sort, and ...

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

This repository implements Parallel Merge Sort using multithreading to speed up the sorting process. By dividing the array into smaller subarrays and sorting them concurrently, the algorithm leverages ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

How to sort an list of objects. In most practical scenarios, we won't be writing our own sorting function. Instead, we would use Java's built in sort functions. For a collection (e.g. an ArrayList), ...

Merge sort is entirely different than the sorting algorithms we’ve seen so far, and it represents an important class of algorithms—divide-and-conquer algorithms. Divide-and-conquer algorithms work by ...
