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 ...

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 ...

In this paper, we establish hardness and approximation results for various Lp-ball constrained homogeneous polynomial optimization problems, where p ∈ [2, ∞]. Specifically, we prove that for any given ...

We present an asymptotic fully polynomial approximation scheme for strip-packing, or packing rectangles into a rectangle of fixed width and minimum height, a classical NP-hard cutting-stock problem.
