Using an enhanced Self-Organizing Map method, we provided suboptimal solutions to the Traveling Salesman Problem. Besides, we employed hyperparameter tuning to identify the most critical features in the algorithm. All improvements in the…

We demonstrate an iterative scheme to approximate the optimal transportation problem with a discrete target measure under certain standard conditions on the cost function. Additionally, we give a finite upper bound on the number of…

In this paper we study the classical problem of throughput maximization. In this problem we have a collection $J$ of $n$ jobs, each having a release time $r_j$, deadline $d_j$, and processing time $p_j$. They have to be scheduled…

We study the problem of sub-trajectory nearest-neighbor queries on polygonal curves under the continuous Fr\'echet distance. Given an $n$ vertex trajectory $P$ and an $m$ vertex query trajectory $Q$, we seek to report a vertex-aligned…

Here we present the implementation of an application capable of planning the shortest delivery route in the city of Medell\'in, Colombia. We discuss the different approaches to this problem which is similar to the famous Traveling Salesman…

Most of the current inference techniques rely upon Bayesian inference on Probabilistic Graphical Models of observations and do predictions and classification on observations. However, there is very little literature on the mining of…

We introduce multiple symmetric LP relaxations for minimum cut problems. The relaxations give optimal and approximate solutions when the input is a Hamiltonian cycle. We show that this leads to one of two interesting results. In one case,…

In the Bounded Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (BMTSP), a tour for each salesman, that starts and ends at the depot and that respects the bounds on the number of cities that a feasible salesman tour should satisfy, is to be constructed.…

The Traveling Salesman Problem is one of the most studied problems in computational complexity and its approximability has been a long standing open question. Currently, the best known inapproximability threshold known is 220/219 due to…

We present algorithms to find the minimum radius sphere that intersects every trajectory in a set of $n$ trajectories composed of at most $k$ line segments each. When $k=1$, we can reduce the problem to the LP-type framework to achieve a…

For a given polygonal region $P$, the Lawn Mowing Problem (LMP) asks for a shortest tour $T$ that gets within Euclidean distance 1/2 of every point in $P$; this is equivalent to computing a shortest tour for a unit-diameter cutter $C$ that…

An instance of Hamiltonian cycle problem can be solved by converting it to an instance of Travelling salesman problem, assigning any choice of weights to edges of the underlying graph. In this note we demonstrate that, for difficult…

Consider a customer who needs to fulfill a shopping list, and also a personal shopper who is willing to buy and resell to customers the goods in their shopping lists. It is in the personal shopper's best interest to find (shopping) routes…

Imagine that unlabelled tokens are placed on the edges of a graph, such that no two tokens are placed on incident edges. A token can jump to another edge if the edges having tokens remain independent. We study the problem of determining the…

In the maximum scatter traveling salesman problem the objective is to find a tour that maximizes the shortest distance between any two consecutive nodes. This model can be applied to manufacturing processes, particularly laser melting…

In the maximum traveling salesman problem (Max TSP) we are given a complete undirected graph with nonnegative weights on the edges and we wish to compute a traveling salesman tour of maximum weight. We present a fast combinatorial $\frac…

We consider various {\em multi-vehicle versions of the minimum latency problem}. There is a fleet of $k$ vehicles located at one or more depot nodes, and we seek a collection of routes for these vehicles that visit all nodes so as to…

Let M be an nXn symetric matrix, n, even, T, an upper bound for T_OPT, an optimal tour, sigma_T, the smaller-valued perfect matching obtained from alternate edges of T expressed as a product of 2-cycles. Applying the modified Floyd-Warshall…

In the Demand Strip Packing problem (DSP), we are given a time interval and a collection of tasks, each characterized by a processing time and a demand for a given resource (such as electricity, computational power, etc.). A feasible…

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the most challenging NP-hard problems. It has widely applications in various disciplines such as physics, biology, computer science and so forth. The best known approximation algorithm for…
