Assignment problems lie at the heart of combinatorial optimisation, seeking the most efficient mapping of a set of agents to a set of tasks under cost or profit criteria. The classical linear ...

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 ...

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

Traffic assignment and network equilibrium optimization form the theoretical and computational backbone of modern transportation planning, guiding the allocation of travel demand across a network of ...
