A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

The legendary graph isomorphism problem may be harder than a 2015 result seemed to suggest. “In Laci Babai, you have one of the most legendary and fearsome theoretical computer scientists there ever ...

Theoretical computer scientists are normally a fairly sedate bunch, but are humming with excitement after a potential breakthrough in a long-standing problem called graph isomorphism. The result could ...

A computer scientist has taken his colleagues on a rollercoaster ride. In the span of several days, László Babai of the University of Chicago walked back his earlier claim of making a major advance on ...

A lot happened in mathematics this year. High school exam problems went viral. Terry Tao solved the Erdös Discrepancy Problem and while most mathematicians would have submitted the paper to a top math ...

Algebraic structures form the backbone of modern abstract algebra, encapsulating a wide range of systems such as groups, rings, fields, and modules, each characterised by distinct axiomatic properties ...
