This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...

Abstract: The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), a classic combinatorial optimization problem, has been extensively studied for many years. Recently, the Multi-solution Traveling Salesman Problem ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Proteogenomics explores how genetic information translates into protein expression and function, and the role of changes across DNA, RNA, and proteins in influencing disease development and ...

The inhabitants of Carthage were long thought to have derived from Levantine Phoenicians. But an eight-year study suggests they were more closely related to Greeks. By Franz Lidz The Phoenicians were ...

Abstract: The genetic algorithm is one of the most commonly used metaheuristics due to its adaptability to various types of problems. However, its implementation can be challenging because of the ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

For the last few years or so, the story in the artificial intelligence that was accepted without question was that all of the big names in the field needed more compute, more resources, more energy, ...
