Okay i know the answer as indicated on ms ...i just want to check if there is a general rule for finding the number used as the pivot?

Looking at logic processing with 1 meaning true and 0 meaning false..an "OR" could be implemented using an addition operation , an "AND" using multiplication, and so on. I am wondering if the shunting yard algorithm would handle the sequences of logic based operations ? The precedence of the...

I am looking for an algorithm that will get the best estimate of the ringing frequency of a system subjected to impulse excitations at random times. The individual responses might look like this: And the total which I would like to analyze would be like:

A colleague has a parallel algorithm problem. There is a similar, more familiar problem that also uses backtracking, so lets discuss that. The problem is called n-queens. You have an nxn chessbaord and the goal is to place n queens on them so that no queen attacks another: no two queens are on...

I am an algorithm engineer working on inverse lithography in an EDA company. The modeling in inverse lithography involves much optics. I hold a PhD degree from ECE department at University of Florida, but optics is not my background. Thus, I need a place to have discussions of physics problems...

Hi, I am a ninth-grade student from Portugal with nothing to do, and I have decided that I want to build a simple regression algorithm in Desmos (the online calculator) to fit random binary inputs and maybe predict the next binary digits (although that part may take a considerable amount of...

Hello. Sorry if the title is a bit vague. I'm doing this challenge (google foobar) and even though it's not very elegant to ask for help, it's not like I'm going to win any kind of prize for it. In any case I'd like some suggestions since my current solution fails 2 tests on 5. The most...

As a Bedouin schiek you own twenty-five horses. You want to find the three fastest. You have no clock or other device that measures time. Your racing field is wide enough that five horses can race unimpeded, so you can race five at a time and see how they place. You don't want to abuse your...

Hardly anyone would think of this solution. I even wonder how anyone would come up with the question. And it is even more amazing that the questioner and solver were not the same person.

Hi! I have studied Grover's algorithm for quantum search and I just want to make sure that I understood it correctly: to make a number k of calls to the oracle one needs to have k physical copies of the gate producing the oracle. In quantum circuits there are no loops, hence a physical gate...

I know that when giving an algorithm to prove something we need to prove two things about the algorithm ( there’s another option which is to show time-complexity but that’s optional since it’s irrelevant to the proof): 1. Correctness 2. That it halts But there are also algorithms/procedures...

For this problem, For (i) the solution is, However, I am somewhat confused how to follow the steps of the Gauss-Jordan Elimination algorithm from there. Do I have to eliminate the coefficients from ##x_2## and ##x_3## respectively from row 1 and the -5 coefficient from row 2 in the exact...

1- Coordinates of two points are given in x and y plane. A(x1,y1), B(x2,y2) Calculate the angle between the two lines passing through each of these points with the origin of linear coordinates. 2- If a line passes between the two points A and B above, does point C lie on this line? C(x3,y3) how...

Hi 🙂 I'd appreciate your help. I have a bunch of livestock with an ear sensor on each, that sends me data about how much heat is going out of the ear. I wanna take this data from each livestock and smooth it. My question is, how to know which smoothing algorithm I should use to get an...

Let ## a, b, c ## and ## d ## be integers such that ## 225a+360b+432c+480d=3 ##. Then ## 75a+120b+144c+160d=1 ##. Applying the Euclidean algorithm produces: ## gcd(75, 120)=15, gcd(120, 144)=24 ## and ## gcd(144, 160)=16 ##. Now we see that ## 15x+24y+16z=1 ##. By Euclidean algorithm, we have...

I'm not asking it from "will it be secure" point of view, rather I'm asking textbook kind technically correct or not. This is the algorithm (in the 3rd step of right figure, it should be generate y, typo) I took p=23,g=5. And picked x=4,y=5 I got the secret key as 12 and both got 12, so it...

It starts at 6:16 It's the part where he's pointing his hand in this picture. I didn't get it although it's pretty mechanical, so I'd like to learn that technique as this is really useful in RSA algorithm(rather than having to memorize some values). I've been searching for a method like that...

Here is a spreadsheet that demonstrates how Shor's algorithm works. The user first enters a number 'N' that has only two prime factors. Then, the user enters a random integer 'x'. Shor's algorithm does the rest in the factorization of N. A different value for 'x' must be tried if the factoring...

My answer: The ART algorithm is a row-action algorithm. I tried to draw it, but I am not sure whether it will answer the question

First, consider ## 19^{53}\pmod {503} ##. Then ## 53=(110101)_{2}=2^{5}+2^{4}+2^{2}+1=32+16+4+1 ##. Note that \begin{align*} 19^{2}\equiv 361\pmod {503}\\ 19^{4}\equiv 44\pmod {503}\\ 19^{8}\equiv 427\pmod {503}\\ 19^{16}\equiv 243\pmod {503}\\ 19^{32}\equiv 198\pmod {503}.\\ \end{align*} Thus...

I am new to the operating system and I want to know, Is it right Banker's Algorithm is mainly used to prevent deadlock? I picked this question from https://www.interviewbit.com/operating-system-mcq/ and I think it is also used for Solving deadlock, Can anyone know, Is this right?

I know that the maximum number of trees in a heap will be when all the trees are of smallest order as possible. Then, after performing CONSOLIDATE operation on the heap, all the newly created trees in the heap will be of different orders. Since in a different exercise I showed that the minimal...

Step 1: Reduce RHS into singletons F = {AB->C, C->A, BC->D, ACD->B, D->E, D->G, BE->C, CG->B, CG->D, CE->G} Step 2: Reduce LHS redundant attributes ACD->B has closure of A: A, C: C,A and D: D,E,G since A is in the closure of C we can remove A from ACD->B making it CD->B no other LHS could be...

Here is a solution, part of which doesn’t make any sense to me-: ->Why did we select c3,c1 and c3,c2 for 2nd generation? -> why did we select os1,os2,c3,c2 for 3rd generation? (And what the heck is happening here? We are already in 3rd generation when even 2nd one is not complete? -> then we...

https://slidetodoc.com/genetic-algorithms-an-example-genetic-algorithm-procedure-ga/ slide is taken from here. is this done total randomly or is it done pseudorandomly. I mean is there some forumula for randomness used in this case? i learned about single point and double point crossover but...

Really need this. Tried googling but not many. 1 or 2 are there. I want this algorithm solved by hand to some problem. IDK what kinds of problems exists. but one is knapsack problem. there is analytics vidya's tutorial but I want something else, more direct, more clear...Any resource you can...

The DFS in action doesn't relate to the pseudocode as you can see it. My confusion starts from dfs in action, step 4. I could write essay about it, but you can see it yourself as well and spot that algorithm and dfs in action doesn't match up properly. or is it only me? This is not a homework...

I'm a freelance web developer and right now I'm stuck into a mathematical(probability) issue where I'm developing an answer filtering tool. This tool works as follows: 1) There are six questions that the user will be asked 2) Based on the answer of first question, my server will decide which...

I'am interested in the notation of the approximation in quantum phase estimation algorithm. In the literature there are different definitions, which I divide into two cases here. Both different in their definition of the ##\delta##. In both cases I start with a quote of the source and show an...

In HHL algorithm, does the controlled unitary (Hamiltonian simulation part of Quantum phase estimation) depend on Hermitian matrix coefficients and how?

Hello, I have a question about the measurement of a qubit in the computational basis. I would like to first state what I know so far and then ask my actual question at the end.What I know: Let's say we have a qubit in the general state of ##|\psi\rangle = \alpha|0\rangle + \beta|1\rangle##. Now...

Hi all! I've been trying to find a reasonable way to solve following problem: N people meet each others in groups of K people such that no one meets more than once. If I'm not mistaken, this requires two things: N must be divisible by K N - 1 must be divisible by K - 1. Let's assume these...

Hello! I am just getting started learning about quantum computing so I apologize if this questions is trivial, but I am a bit confused about the Grover's algorithm. As far as I understand (I read it from here), assuming there is just one solution, you start with N qubits, you put them in an...

Hello everybody, I should evaluate the complexity of this graph coloring algorithm. To do this, I use the adjacency matrix in which the graph nodes are the elements on the diagonal, while the elements outside the diagonal indicate if a node is adjacent to another ##(A_{i,j} = 1)## or not...

I have to solve the 1D Time-independent Schrödinger equation (TISE) using the shooting algorithm. As far as I understood from this video on Shooting method for solving BVP, I will have to solve the problem by using IVP solvers (like RK2 or RK4 methods), and guess a value for the derivative of...

I have a camera that take pictures of square boxes that are really close to one another. There is a light that is Illuminating the boxes but when I try and isolate a single but in my picture, I am reading higher values then what I should be. If I remove the other boxes and only do one box, I am...

I have seen "radioactivedecay.py" python library which employs measured experimental data for its calculations. I have seen models that solve the system of differential equation with numerical algorithms to predict the proportion of nuclides at any given time. But I have yet to see a...

I ran into an interesting video on Youtube yesterday, about a fast way to compute the reciprocal of the square root of a number. I.e., to compute this function: ##f(x)= \frac 1 {\sqrt x}## The presenter is John Carmack. If you search for "Fast Inverse Square Root — A Quake III Algorithm" you'll...
