Some mathematical patterns are so subtle you could search for a lifetime and never find them. Others are so common that they seem impossible to avoid. A new proof by Sarah Peluse of the University of ...

The density matrix renormalization group method has been extensively used to study the ground state of 1D many-body systems since its introduction two decades ago. In spite of its wide use, this ...

The amount of time it takes for an algorithm to solve a polynomial function, which is a mathematical expression that does not contain fractions or negative numbers. The time is proportional to the ...

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate through two case studies that a careful evaluation of the likelihood polynomial yields a better result in a linkage analysis using pedigree data. A simple ...
