The science of computational complexity aims to solve the TSP -- the Travelling Salesman Problem -- when the time required to find an optimal solution is vital for practical solutions to modern-day ...

Quantum computing offers the hope of dramatic increases in computational capabilities. That’s the promise of quantum computers that can handle hundreds of thousands or millions of quantum bits or ...

The Travelling Salesman Problem with Pickups and Deliveries (TSPPD) consists in designing a minimum cost tour that starts at the depot, provides either a pickup or delivery service to each of the ...

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 ...

The goal of a combinatorial optimization problem is to find a set of distinct integer values that minimizes some cost function. The most famous example is the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). There ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We motivate, derive, and implement a multilevel approach to the travelling salesman problem. The resulting algorithm progressively coarsens ...

The traveling salesman problem is one of the basic problems that many theoretical computer scientists have been working on. Many scientists think that there is no algorithm for the traveling salesman ...

Over the course of 2012, we’ve seen lovely yet ultimately rather useless very expensive robots made of jellyand slightly less expensive robots made of card ; and now, thanks to academics at the ...

It's time to run your errands, and you've got multiple stops to make. From your house, you have to hit the supermarket, the gas station, and the hardware store, all before returning home. Assuming you ...

Mathematical puzzles don't often get to star in feature films, but P vs NP is the subject of an upcoming thriller from Timothy Lanzone called "Travelling Salesman". The titles refers to the ...
