Deep learning approaches have shown promising results in solving routing problems. However, there is still a substantial gap in solution quality between machine learning and operations research algorithms. Recently, another line of research…

Active tether-net systems are a promising solution for capturing large non-cooperative targets, such as space debris, by deploying a flexible net manipulated by maneuverable units (MUs). However, concurrent systematic explorations of design…

Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle with inherent knowledge boundaries and hallucinations, limiting their reliability in knowledge-intensive tasks. While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) mitigates these issues, it frequently…

We study an issue commonly seen with graph data analysis: many real-world complex systems involving high-order interactions are best encoded by hypergraphs; however, their datasets often end up being published or studied only in the form of…

Previous geographic routing schemes in Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) only consider the homogeneous scenario where nodal mobility is identical. Motivated by this gap, we turn to design a DTN based geographic routing scheme in…

In many operational contexts, solutions to NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, modeled by means of Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP), may become infeasible due to unpredictable disruptions. Typically, reoptimizing by solving…
