  2. Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernstein–Vazirani_algorithm

    The Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm, which solves the Bernstein–Vazirani problem, is a quantum algorithm invented by Ethan Bernstein and Umesh Vazirani in 1997. [1] It is a restricted version of the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm where instead of distinguishing between two different classes of functions, it tries to learn a string encoded in a ...

  3. Computational hardness assumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_hardness...

    The errors are believed to make the problem intractable (for appropriate parameters); in particular, there are known worst-case to average-case reductions from variants of SVP. [12] For quantum computers, Factoring and Discrete Log problems are easy, but lattice problems are conjectured to be hard. [13]

  4. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    First, you have to understand the problem. [2] After understanding, make a plan. [3] Carry out the plan. [4] Look back on your work. [5] How could it be better? If this technique fails, Pólya advises: [6] "If you cannot solve the proposed problem, try to solve first some related problem. Could you imagine a more accessible related problem?"

  5. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    When the task is to find the solution that is the best under some criterion, this is an optimization problem. Solving an optimization problem is generally not referred to as "equation solving", as, generally, solving methods start from a particular solution for finding a better solution, and repeating the process until finding eventually the ...

  6. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  7. Maximum satisfiability problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_satisfiability_problem

    The MAX-SAT problem is OptP-complete, [1] and thus NP-hard (as a decision problem), since its solution easily leads to the solution of the boolean satisfiability problem, which is NP-complete. It is also difficult to find an approximate solution of the problem, that satisfies a number of clauses within a guaranteed approximation ratio of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby-step_giant-step

    The discrete log problem is of fundamental importance to the area of public key cryptography. Many of the most commonly used cryptography systems are based on the assumption that the discrete log is extremely difficult to compute; the more difficult it is, the more security it provides a data transfer.

    Let (,) = be a well-posed problem, i.e. : is a real or complex functional relationship, defined on the cross-product of an input data set and an output data set , such that exists a locally lipschitz function : called resolvent, which has the property that for every root (,) of , = ().
