The aim of this study is to examine how algorithmatizing tasks engage mathematics students in algorithmic thinking. Structured, task-based interviews were conducted with eight Year 12 students as they completed a sequence of algorithmatizing tasks involving maximum flow problems. A deductive-inductive analytical…

Most content consumed online is curated by proprietary algorithms deployed by social media platforms and search engines. In this article, we explore the interplay between these algorithms and human agency. Specifically, we consider the extent of entanglement or coupling between humans and algorithms along a continuum…

'Ravipudi Venkata Rao' 'Pavel Trojovský' 'Eva Trojovská' 'Stephen Andrew Gadsden' 'Yilun Shang'] Many important engineering optimization problems require a strong and simple optimization algorithm to achieve the best solutions. In 2020, Rao introduced three non-parametric algorithms, known as Rao algorithms, which have…

In designing control systems, it is known that fractional-order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controllers often provide greater flexibility than conventional proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers. This higher level of flexibility has proven to be extremely valuable for various applications such…

'Zhenzhong Liu' 'Ameer Hamza Khan'] The Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA) is a widely used swarm intelligence algorithm. Encouraged by the theory of no free lunch and the inherent shortcomings of the SMA, this work proposes a new variant of the SMA, called the BWSMA, in which three improvement mechanisms are integrated. The…
