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 ...

Many important and valuable planning and scheduling problems in logistics and automation are combinatorial optimization problems. The most famous problem of this type is the traveling salesman problem ...

The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), a quintessential challenge in computational theory, involves finding the shortest route that visits each city exactly once before returning to the starting point.

The human mind is a path-planning wizard. Think back to pre-lockdown days when we all ran multiple errands back to back across town. There was always a mental dance in the back of your head to make ...

When Nathan Klein started graduate school two years ago, his advisers proposed a modest plan: to work together on one of the most famous, long-standing problems in theoretical computer science. Even ...
