It remains an open question when a commercial quantum computer will emerge that can outperform classical (non-quantum) ...

Over the course of my 25-year career in the mathematical optimization software industry, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “Can you tell me what mathematical ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...

We walk through an optimization problem step by step, clearly explaining how to identify variables, set up the correct ...

This course examines formulation and solution of applicable optimization models, including linear, integer, nonlinear, and network problems, efficient algorithm methods, and use of computer modeling ...

The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered a wave of severe economic disruption around the world, causing widespread chaos, profound changes in the business landscape and overwhelming operational challenges.

Quantum computers have already managed to surpass ordinary computers in solving certain tasks - unfortunately, totally useless ones. The next milestone is to get them to do useful things. Researchers ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research shows how to implement simulated annealing for the Traveling Salesman Problem (find the best ordering of a set of discrete items). The goal of a combinatorial ...
