Presents research data in the study of computer search algorithms, including live soft-matter quantum computing; heuristic searches applied to the resolution of

"Heuristic local search algorithms are used to find "good" solutions to the NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems that cannot be solved using analytical m

This book is particularly concerned with heuristic state-space search for combinatorial optimization. Its two central themes are the average-case complexity of

Search algorithms aim to find solutions or objects with specified properties and constraints in a large solution search space or among a collection of objects.

Nine revolutionary algorithms that power our computers and smartphones Every day, we use our computers to perform remarkable feats. A simple web search picks ou
