Abstract: HotStuff is a pipelined Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) algorithm that has the good properties of both linear communication complexity and optimistic responsiveness. However, its three-chain ...

People’s views are becoming more and more polarized, with “echo chambers”—social bubbles that reinforce existing beliefs—exacerbating differences in opinion. This divergence doesn’t just apply to ...

Abstract: This study proposes algorithms for optimal well placement in oil and gas fields. These algorithms allow the initial discrete programming problem of large dimensionality to be replaced by a ...
