Optimization tasks are at the heart of many real-world applications across a variety of scientific disciplines, particularly in physics and engineering. From the seemingly simple task of swinging up a ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

This study suggests a new nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm called the red-tailed hawk algorithm (RTH). As a predator, the red-tailed hawk has a hunting strategy from detecting the ...

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...
