Learn how to choose between heuristic and exact algorithms to solve optimization problems in operations research, and what are their pros and cons.

Vehicle routing is a famous discrete optimization problem. It is not guaranteed to obtain optimal solutions across numerous complex cases. Both heuristics and exact algorithms can be used for analysis ...

These formulations are then used inside branch-and-cut algorithms that can solve some instances with up to 40 customers. To handle larger instances, we also introduce a new heuristic based on Adaptive ...

With the approaching post-Moore era, it is becoming increasingly impractical to decrease the transistor size in digital VLSI for better performance. To address this issue, one approach is to optimize ...
