He is the author of the multi-volume work, the magnum opus, The Art of Computer Programming. He made several key contributions to the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms.

Researchers at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) say they have begun the first comparative analysis of a new category of algorithms that mine genetic information in ...
