Combinatorial optimisation is a fundamental field in applied mathematics and computer science that focuses on finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects. In this context, problems are ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

We present a probabilistic greedy search method for combinatorial optimisation problems. This approach is implemented and evaluated for the Set Covering Problem (SCP) and shown to yield a simple, ...

Bicycle sharing systems have become an attractive option to alleviate traffic in congested cities. However, rebalancing the number of bikes at each port as time passes is essential, and finding the ...

The proposed algorithm combines variational scheduling with post-processing to achieve near-optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems with constraints within the operation time of ...

Mathematics Magazine presents articles and notes on undergraduate mathematical topics in a lively expository style that appeals to students and faculty throughout the undergraduate years. The journal ...

In a new development that is most likely to establish a new industry standard, scientists at Cambridge Quantum (CQ) have created a new algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems that ...

Traffic congestion has been worsening since the 1950s in large cities thanks to the exorbitant number of cars sold each year. Unfortunately, the figurative price tag attached to excessive traffic ...
