Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

While delivering his victory speech on Tuesday night, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani made a statement about the government's role in citizens' lives, sparking concern from critics online.

Abstract: Many engineering design optimization problems can be represented as mixed-variable optimization problems. This study presents a heuristic approach for solving mixed-variable optimization ...

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.

Abstract: Recently, neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) methods have been prevailing for solving multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems (MOCOPs). Most NCO methods are based on the ...

Solving optimization problems is challenging for existing digital computers and even for future quantum hardware. The practical importance of diverse problems, from healthcare to financial ...

Annealing processors (APs) are gaining popularity for solving complex optimization problems. Fully-coupled Ising model APs are especially valued for their flexibility, but balancing capacity (number ...

In planning and scheduling, large-scale optimization problems often have complex limits and a lot of factors, which makes them hard to answer with standard methods. Quantum annealing has become a ...

ABSTRACT: This paper addresses the shortcomings of the Sparrow and Eagle Optimization Algorithm (SBOA) in terms of convergence accuracy, convergence speed, and susceptibility to local optima. To this ...
