Since Balas and Zemel in the 1980s introduced the so-called core problem as an efficient tool for solving the Knapsack Problem, all the most successful algorithms have applied this concept. Balas and ...

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

We describe an algorithm for the 0-1 knapsack problem (KP), which relies mainly on three new ideas. The first one is to focus on what we call the core of the problem, namely, a knapsack problem ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Shenzhen, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MicroAlgo Inc. Announces Research on Quantum Information Recursive Optimization (QIRO) Algorithm, for Combinatorial Optimization Problems to Expand and Solve ...
