Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Introduction: We present Quantum Adaptive Search (QAGS), a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for global optimization of multivariate functions. The method employs an adaptive mechanism that ...

Abstract: This paper describes the Jaya Algorithm and compares its performance with the Genetic Algorithm for optimizing the Himmelblau function and the Rosenbrock function. The Jaya algorithm is ...

ABSTRACT: The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and its symmetric version are efficient for minimizing two-block separable problems with linear constraints. However, both ADMM and ...

As a very effective machine learning ML-born optimization setting, boosting requires one to efficiently learn arbitrarily good models using a weak learner oracle, which provides classifiers that ...

We present a novel approach to quantum algorithms, by taking advantage of modular values, i.e., complex and unbounded quantities resulting from specific post-selected measurement scenarios. Our focus ...
