It was late 1984, some 39 years ago this month, and I was new to the company where I still work today. Right out of the chute, the president of the company handed his new D of E an assignment: Fix our ...

This paper deals with the nonlinear complementarity problem on the product space of unit simplices, S. A simplicial variable dimension algorithm developed by van der Laan and Talman for proper ...

For decades, a math puzzle has stumped the smartest mathematicians in the world. x 3 +y 3 +z 3 =k, with k being all the numbers from one to 100, is a Diophantine equation that's sometimes known as ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

After German mathematician Gerd Faltings proved the Mordell conjecture in 1983, he was awarded the Fields Medal, often described as the “Nobel Prize of Mathematics.” The conjecture describes the set ...
