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 ...

Nash equilibria represent a cornerstone in game theory, defining strategy profiles wherein no player can benefit by unilaterally deviating. This concept underpins a myriad of applications, ranging ...

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 223 (Oct., 1976), pp. 103-131 (29 pages) This paper demonstrates a Remez exchange algorithm applicable to approximation of real-valued ...

Research team debuts the first deterministic streaming algorithms for non-monotone submodular maximization, delivering superior approximation ratios with minimal memory and real-time throughput on ...

Not long ago, a team of researchers from Stanford and McGill universities broke a 35-year record in computer science by an almost imperceptible margin — four hundredths of a trillionth of a trillionth ...
