We develop approximation algorithms for different purposes: quick response algorithms for individual customer requirement planning to build a quotation, and elaborate algorithms to provide a ...

Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization problems in polynomial time. Unlike heuristics, approximation algorithms have provable performance guarantees: they ...

Approximation algorithms for the TSP endeavour to provide efficient, near‐optimal solutions where exact methods prove computationally prohibitive.

Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization problems in polynomial time. Unlike heuristics, approximation algorithms have provable performance guarantees: they ...

A string of improved approximation algorithms have since emerged, after computer scientists began looking at the problem with fresh eyes.

In doing so, he devised perhaps the most famous approximation algorithm in theoretical computer science—one that usually forms the first example in textbooks and courses.
