The travelling salesman problem (TSP) remains one of the most challenging NP‐hard problems in combinatorial optimisation, with significant implications for logistics, network design and route planning ...

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 223 (Oct., 1976), pp. 103-131 (29 pages) This paper demonstrates a Remez exchange algorithm applicable to approximation of real-valued ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...
