Solving group Steiner problems as Steiner problems
The generalized spanning tree or group Steiner problem (GSP) is a generalization of the Steiner problem in graphs (SPG): one requires a tree spanning (at least) one vertex of each subset, given in a family of vertex subsets, while minimizing the sum of the corresponding edge costs. Specialized solution procedures have been developed for this problem. In this paper we investigate the performance...
متن کاملSolving Random Quadratic Systems of Equations Is Nearly as Easy as Solving Linear Systems
We consider the fundamental problem of solving quadratic systems of equations in n variables, where yi = |〈ai,x〉|, i = 1, . . . ,m and x ∈ R is unknown. We propose a novel method, which starting with an initial guess computed by means of a spectral method, proceeds by minimizing a nonconvex functional as in the Wirtinger flow approach [11]. There are several key distinguishing features, most no...
متن کاملSolving General Arithmetic Word Problems
This paper presents a novel approach to automatically solving arithmetic word problems. This is the first algorithmic approach that can handle arithmetic problems with multiple steps and operations, without depending on additional annotations or predefined templates. We develop a theory for expression trees that can be used to represent and evaluate the target arithmetic expressions; we use it ...

1224 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 49, NUMBER 10 Fermat’s Last Theorem In this age in which mathematicians are supposed to bring their research into the classroom, even at the most elementary level, it is rare that we can turn the tables and use our elementary teaching to help in our research. However, in giving a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, it turns out that we can use tools from calculus and ...
متن کاملPeer Instruction as a Way of Promoting Spontaneous Use of Diagrams When Solving Math Word Problems
Although using diagrams is generally considered one of the most effective strategies for solving math word problems, research and educational practice reports indicate that students lack spontaneity in their use of diagrams. In an attempt to address this problem, the present study investigated the hypothesis that creating situations whereby students have to teach other students how to solve mat...
