Decades-Old, Infinitely Large Math Problem Gets Surprisingly Neat Solution Normally, when you attempt a problem of this size, you're not expecting the answer to just be "15".

6. The Mathematics of the Infinitely Big Episode 6 of 10 Adrian Moore explores the idea of infinity through history: brilliant but tortured German mathematician, Georg Cantor. From 2016. Show more ...

The classical numerical treatment of two-point boundary value problems on infinite intervals is based on the introduction of a truncated boundary (instead of infinity) where appropriate boundary ...

Since the number of possible division patterns appeared infinite, directly checking all configurations was out of the question.

A famous math problem that has vexed mathematicians for decades has finally met an elegant solution. Mathematicians have now described a geometric solution for the von Neumann-Day problem, first ...

We consider a nonhomogeneous infinite-horizon Markov Decision Process (MDP) problem with multiple optimal first-period policies. We seek an algorithm that, given finite data, delivers an optimal first ...
