This chapter reviews a number of typical combinatorial optimization problems. It illustrates the tenuous border that sometimes exists between an easy problem, for which effective algorithms are known, and an intractable one that differs merely by a small detail that may appear innocuous at first ...
Love also contributed to the theory of tidal locking and introduced the parameters known as Love numbers, which are widely used today. These numbers are also used in problems related to the tidal deformation of the Earth due to the gravitational attraction of the Moon and Sun. He was educated...
This has prompted us to explore specific areas of the parameter space in Problem 3, motivating concrete versions of Problem 3 in the spirit of Conjecture 2 (Conjecture 7). One hope of ours is that further study of these problems may yield insights into Conjecture 2. But in fact, already ...

Libraries that help on implementing optimization and satisfiability problems. Choco - Choco is a Free and Open-Source Software dedicated to Constraint Programming. It aims at describing hard combinatorial problems in the form of Constraint Satisfaction Problems and solving them with Constraint Programming ...
Subpath reversals are common operations in graph-based structures arising in a wide range of applications in combinatorial optimization. We describe the satellite list, a variation on the doubly-linked list that is symmetric, efficient, and can be reversed or reverse subsections in constant time. ...
We'll see two general techniques applied to the traveling salesman problem. The first one, branch and bound, is a classical approach in combinatorial optimization that is used for various problems. It can be seen as an improvement of the brute force search: we try to construct a permutation ...
This module will cover integer linear programming and its use in solving NP-hard (combinatorial optimization) problems. We will cover some examples of what integer linear programming is by formulating problems such as Knapsack, Vertex Cover and Graph Coloring. Next, we will study the concept of ...
