Abstract: Alphabetic codes and binary search trees are combinatorial structures that abstract search procedures in ordered sets endowed with probability distributions. In this paper, we design new ...
A security vulnerability has been disclosed in the popular binary-parser npm library that, if successfully exploited, could result in the execution of arbitrary JavaScript. The vulnerability, tracked ...
Christmas trees—and conifers in general—have made some surprising cameos throughout U.S. history, author Trent Preszler reveals in his book Evergreen ’Tis the season for conifers—whether they are ...
How do you count rooted planar n n-ary trees with some number of leaves? For n = 2 n = 2 this puzzle leads to the Catalan numbers. These are so fascinating that the combinatorist Richard Stanley wrote ...
Abstract: For increasingly complex real-world optimization problems, a large number of researches have shown that differential evolution (DE) is an effective problem-solving algorithm. Despite its ...
A new JavaScript obfuscation method utilizing invisible Unicode characters to represent binary values is being actively abused in phishing attacks targeting affiliates of an American political action ...
ABSTRACT: Delirium is a common yet critical condition among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients, characterized by acute cognitive disturbances that can lead to severe complications, prolonged hospital ...
Now that we’re getting into more complex data structures, having more complex operations, it’s helpful to have a tool for visualization. Here’s a tool developed by David Galles, formerly of University ...
A binary heap is a binary tree with two constraints: the heap order property and the structure property. The heap order property ensures that child nodes are always ordered with respect to their ...
Veiled in gas and clouds, the Milky Way’s center does not easily give up secrets. The initial detection of its supermassive black hole (SMBH) decades ago posed as many riddles as it solved, including ...
Merkle trees, also known as hash trees or binary hash trees, are tree-like data structures used in computer science. They are named after their inventor, Ralph Merkle, who proposed the concept in 1979 ...
