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 ...

Geometric optimisation and approximation algorithms form a vibrant research area that intersects computational geometry, combinatorial optimisation and algorithm design. Researchers are dedicated to ...

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 ...

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

Algorithm design isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible either. People who design algorithms don’t sit around looking for problems to solve, they are usually already involved in projects when a problem ...

Dealing with a problem here that probably has a clever solution which is not coming to me: I have an m x n grid. This grid contains some circles. I would like to find a set of squares that covers the ...
