Observing what's happening does give us a way to predict performance, but it doesn't really help us understand what's happening. And so we move to mathematical modelling, which was also popularised by ...

Like Kruskal's algorithm, Prim's algorithm is another algorithm to find the minimum spanning tree for the given undirected weighted graph. Prim's algorithm is also a greedy algorithm, which is quite ...

Abstract: The story behind the Euclidean algorithm and its relationship to the solution of the Diophantine equation is examined in this article. The Euclidean algorithm appears in Proposition 2 in ...

These lecture notes aim to provide a clear and comprehensive introduction to using open quantum system theory for quantum algorithms. The main arguments are ...

(This is in Section 25.2 of the book, but has a lot to do with greedy algorithms.) In a practical application, the graph might represent cities and distances between them in terms of airplane ticket ...
