If you have trouble remembering how to graph different mathematical functions, these simple figures with their dancing arms can help. At the very least, they’ll make you think of math every time you ...
In 1950 Edward Nelson, then a student at the University of Chicago, asked the kind of deceptively simple question that can give mathematicians fits for decades. Imagine, he said, a graph — a ...
Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980's. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the ...
In 1986, then-Fort Wayne Mayor Win Moses Jr. proclaimed March 10-15 to be Fort Wayne Graph Theory Week and urged “all citizens, community organizations, scholars, and conference participants, to join ...
Large Language Models (LLMs) have ushered in a new era of artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrating remarkable capabilities in language generation, translation, and reasoning. Yet, LLMs often stumble ...
We investigate the pointwise well-posedness of optimization problems for locally convex cone-valued functions and establish some relations between the kinds of well-posedness. Via the neighborhoods ...
What if instead of defining a mesh as a series of vertices and edges in a 3D space, you could describe it as a single function? The easiest function would return the signed distance to the closest ...
