The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

Combinatorial optimization problems such as graph partitioning and coloring problems appear in a wide range of applications 1. These problems involve discrete search spaces and target finding the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Constraint programming is a declarative method for modelling and solving decision problems by specifying variables, their domains and relations that must hold. Combinatorial optimization extends this ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...
