By harnessing randomness, a new algorithm achieves a fundamentally novel — and faster — way of performing one of the most basic computations in math and computer science.

It is well known that their approach can also be used to solve the general problem, without affecting the complexity of the algorithm. In this paper, we present an algorithm to solve the economic lot ...

Microsoft today announced that it has open-sourced a key piece of what makes its Bing search services able to quickly return search results to its users.

We develop an effective Variable Neighborhood Search algorithm based on the use of cyclic-exchange neighborhoods that incorporates an adaptive mechanism to bias the random shaking step.
