Metaheuristics constitute a family of high-level, problem-independent algorithmic frameworks designed to guide underlying heuristics toward near-optimal solutions in domains where exact methods are ...

This paper describes a greedy heuristic for a class of combinatorial optimization problems; a central feature of the method being a look-ahead capability. The power of the heuristic is demonstrated ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...
