For non-planar graphs, such solutions are computationally intractable," explained the researchers. The algorithm relies on the Kac-Ward formalism, a mathematical method that allows exact computation ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the stability of polynomial-fuzzy-model-based (PFMB) control system, which is formed by a polynomial fuzzy model and a polynomial fuzzy controller connected in a ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...

Graphs of exponential functions and logarithmic functions provide a visual insight into their properties, such as growth, decay, and the inverse relationship between them. Graphs of exponential ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Sometimes mathematicians try to tackle a problem head on, and sometimes they come at it sideways. That’s especially true when the ...
