A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

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 ...

Recent survey delivers the first systematic benchmark of TSP solvers spanning end-to-end deep learners, hybrid methods and brand-new LLM-based hybrids, revealing that hybrids give best-in-class routes ...

PARASITES are nature’s thieves, but we can harness this behaviour for our own gain. We use algorithms to work out complicated problems like the best truck route or crew schedule, because finding a ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 48, No. 8 (Aug., 1997), pp. 804-809 (6 pages) A new algorithm for the generalised assignment problem is described in this paper. The algorithm is ...
