This class of problems includes the maximum generalized assignment problem (GAP) 1 and a distributed caching problem (DCP) described in this paper. Given a β-approximation algorithm for finding the ...

Reviewer Assignment Problem (RAP): The challenge of matching academic submissions to suitable reviewers while optimising for expertise, subject coverage, workload balance, and avoidance of ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, which has puzzled computer scientists for decades.

Algorithms An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to resolve a problem. In an algorithm, each instruction is identified and the order in which they should be carried out is ...

D-Wave quantum annealers solve problems classical algorithms struggle with The latest claim of a clear quantum supremacy solves a useful problem.

Quantum physicists have developed an algorithm that uses a single qubit to solve a problem that had previously needed thousands of them.
