Overview: Algorithm selection is an engineering decision: the wrong choice can freeze a system at scale, regardless of ...

Combinatorial optimization underpins applications in artificial intelligence, logistics, and network design, yet classical techniques such as greedy search and dynamic programming struggle to balance ...

Crunching hard grains together leads to their rigidification, irrespective of how the system is prepared. While certain features of the resulting jammed materials—e.g. their contact force distribution ...

Abstract: The effectiveness and flexibility of greedy algorithms are comprehensively explored and proven in the current study, with an analysis of application examples in a series of optimization ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...

Finding bipartite matchings is one of the oldest and most well-studied problems in computer science. This problem comes up in many guises, such as when matching donors to recipients for organ ...

Abstract: An iterated greedy algorithm (IGA) is a simple and powerful heuristic algorithm. It is widely used to solve flow-shop scheduling problems (FSPs), an important branch of production scheduling ...

Dynamic routing and congestion control are two major problems in software-defined hybrid satellite-terrestrial multicast networks research. Due to terrestrial users being allowed to join or leave the ...
