The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider the model updating problem of the undamped vibroacoustic system with no spill-over (MUP-UVA), which is to update the original system to a new system such that some ...

Abstract: The low detectability and low cost of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) allow them to swarm near the radar network for effective jamming. The key to jamming is the reasonable task assignment ...

A team of quantum computer researchers at quantum computer maker D-Wave, working with an international team of physicists and engineers, is claiming that its latest quantum processor has been used to ...

Power distribution systems are often conceptualized as optimization models. While optimizing agents to perform tasks works well for systems with limited checkpoints, things begin to go out of hand ...

In this paper we compare track data association purity, accuracy, and timing on a simple, idealized model tracking problem for two data association methods: Global Nearest Neighbor (GNN) and Linear ...

Abstract: This article investigates the problem of target assignment and trajectory optimization in multimissile multitarget engagement scenarios. To avoid complex mixed-integer nonlinear programming ...
