The travelling salesman problem (TSP) remains one of the most challenging NP‐hard problems in combinatorial optimisation, with significant implications for logistics, network design and route planning ...

We develop new algorithmic approaches to compute provably near-optimal policies for multiperiod stochastic lot-sizing inventory models with positive lead times, general demand distributions, and ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We apply a potential reduction algorithm to solve the general linear complementarity problem (GLCP) minimize ...

After 44 years, there’s finally a better way to find approximate solutions to the notoriously difficult traveling salesperson problem. When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
