The area of approximation algorithms is aimed at giving provable guarantees on the performance of heuristics for hard problems. The course will present general techniques (such as convex ...

Abstract: Knapsack problem is a classical optimization problem in computer science and programming. Knapsack problem main objective is to solve how much the maximum profit can be carried with the ...

C++ & Java implementations of 6 algorithm problems — tromino tiling, knight's tour, Tower of Hanoi (4-peg), knight swap, target shooting, and lattice coverage — using Divide & Conquer, Greedy, BFS, ...

Abstract: This paper aims at comparing the serial, shared memory parallelization, and distributed memory parallelization of the dynamic programming algorithm for the Knapsack Problem. Knapsack Problem ...

Uncertainties are widespread in the optimization of process systems, such as uncertainties in process technologies, prices, and customer demands. In this paper, we review the basic concepts and recent ...

This paper presents a continuous method for solving binary quadratic programming problems. First, the original problem is converted into an equivalent continuous optimization problem by using NCP ...
