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 ...

In metamodeling, the choice of sampling points is crucial for the quality of the model. In this context, the maximin Latin hypercube designs (LHD), with their space-filling and noncollapsing ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

A separable assignment problem (SAP) is defined by a set of bins and a set of items to pack in each bin; a value, f, for assigning item j to bin i; and a separate packing constraint for each bin—i.e., ...
