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 ...

where for any $F \subseteq V,d(j,F) = \min _{feF} d(j,f)$ . This is a "min-max" or "robust" version of the k-median problem. Note that in contrast to the recent ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Deterministic inventory theory provides streamlined optimization models that attempt to capture trade-offs in managing the flow of goods ...

Not long ago, a team of researchers from Stanford and McGill universities broke a 35-year record in computer science by an almost imperceptible margin — four hundredths of a trillionth of a trillionth ...

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 ...
