This paper considers a minimum-cost network flow problem in a bipartite graph with a single sink. The transportation costs exhibit a staircase cost structure because such types of transportation cost ...

We introduce a novel approach to solving dynamic programming problems, such as those in many economic models, on a quantum annealer, a specialized device that performs combinatorial optimization.

Dynamic programming algorithms are developed for optimal capital allocation subject to budget constraints. We extend the work of Weingartner [17] and Weingartner and Ness [19] by including multilevel ...

In a remarkable achievement for artificial intelligence, Gemini 2.5 Deep Think has secured a gold-medal level performance at the 2025 International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals.

The other day in the Linux Journal IRC room (#linuxjournal on Freenode), I was whining to the channel about no-ip.com deleting my account without warning. My home IP address hadn't changed in a couple ...

Gemini's solutions for this year's ICPC were scored by the event coordinators, but Google also turned Gemini 2.5 loose on previous ICPC problems. The company reports that its internal analysis showed ...
