Computational Problems without Computation

چکیده
Problemen uit de discrete wiskunde lijken op het eerste gezicht vaak erg simpel. Ze kunnen meestal gemakkelijk en zonder gebruik te maken van wiskundige begrippen worden geformuleerd. Toch komt het vaak voor dat zo’n ogenschijnlijk eenvoudig probleem nog open is of dat er, zoals bij het handelsreizigersprobleem, wel een oplossing gegeven kan worden, maar alleen een die onbruikbaar is omdat de rekentijd bij grotere getallen te snel groeit. In dit artikel, gebaseerd op zijn voordracht op het NMC 2002, kijkt Gerhard Woeginger naar de tegenovergestelde situatie. Hij introduceert allerlei discrete problemen die onoplosbaar lijken, maar waarvoor er een simpele oplossing bestaat.

A Computational Method for Solving Optimal Control Problems and Their Applications
In order to obtain a solution to an optimal control problem, a numerical technique based on state-control parameterization method is presented. This method can be facilitated by the computation of performance index and state equation via approximating the control and state variable as a function of time. Several numerical examples are presented to confirm the analytical findings and illus...
متن کاملSweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited
Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...
متن کاملA Projected Alternating Least square Approach for Computation of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a common method in data mining that have been used in different applications as a dimension reduction, classification or clustering method. Methods in alternating least square (ALS) approach usually used to solve this non-convex minimization problem. At each step of ALS algorithms two convex least square problems should be solved, which causes high com...
متن کاملImproved teaching–learning-based and JAYA optimization algorithms for solving flexible flow shop scheduling problems
Flexible flow shop (or a hybrid flow shop) scheduling problem is an extension of classical flow shop scheduling problem. In a simple flow shop configuration, a job having ‘g’ operations is performed on ‘g’ operation centres (stages) with each stage having only one machine. If any stage contains more than one machine for providing alternate processing facility, then the problem...
متن کاملA New Job Scheduling in Data Grid Environment Based on Data and Computational Resource Availability
Data Grid is an infrastructure that controls huge amount of data files, and provides intensive computational resources across geographically distributed collaboration. The heterogeneity and geographic dispersion of grid resources and applications place some complex problems such as job scheduling. Most existing scheduling algorithms in Grids only focus on one kind of Grid jobs which can be data...
متن کاملAccuracy Certificates for Computational Problems with Convex Structure
The goal of this paper is to introduce the notion of certificates, which verify the accuracy of solutions of computational problems with convex structure. Such problems include minimizing convex functions, variational inequalities with monotone operators, computing saddle points of convex-concave functions, and solving convex Nash equilibrium problems. We demonstrate how the implementation of t...
