The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 48, No. 8 (Aug., 1997), pp. 804-809 (6 pages) A new algorithm for the generalised assignment problem is described in this paper. The algorithm is ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

Reviewer assignment algorithms and systems have emerged as critical tools in modern academic publishing and research evaluation, ensuring that submitted manuscripts are matched with expert reviewers ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. At first glance, quantum computers seem like machines that only will ...

We often hear that quantum computers efficiently solve problems that are very difficult to solve with a classical computer. But even if the hardware is available to build a quantum computer, ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...
