Most of you have used a navigation app like Google Maps for your travels at some point. These apps rely on algorithms that ...
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 ...
This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...
Nathan Klein receives funding from the National Science Foundation. Computers are good at answering questions. What’s the shortest route from my house to Area 51? Is 8,675,309 a prime number? How many ...
The stochastic root-finding problem is that of finding a zero of a vector-valued function known only through a stochastic simulation. The simulation-optimization problem is that of locating a ...
