1. Researchers have found a faster way to do integer linear programming Total comment counts : 29 Summary Researchers have made a breakthrough in solving the traveling salesperson problem, one of the oldest computational questions. They have developed a faster algorithm for solving integer linear programming (ILP) problems, which involve optimizing whole-number amounts. ILP is used in various applications such as production planning and vehicle routing. The new algorithm improves upon previous ones by combining geometric tools to limit the possible solutions....
