Algorithmic complexity, a cornerstone of theoretical computer science, examines the intrinsic resource requirements of computational problems and the limits of what can be efficiently computed.

Computer Scientists Discover Limits of Major Research Algorithm The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult ...

A major advance in computational complexity reveals deep connections between the classes of problems that computers can — and can’t — possibly do.

This paper proposes a new nested algorithm (NPL) for the estimation of a class of discrete Markov decision models and studies its statistical and computational properties. Our method is based on a ...
