Choosing a topic for a research paper

[gammaman]

I just started a graduate course in algorithm analysis and a 10 page research paper is required. We a free to choose any algorithm in any field. It could relate to CS, Biology,Chemistry,Aeronautics,etc. If anyone has any suggestions of "fun" algorithms that are both interesting and abundent in research information, to meet the ten page requirment, I would greatly appriciate if you would share.

PS. The algorithm can be implemented into any high-level langauge of our choice.

Perhaps that old favourite Schrodinger's equation. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation):)
