We develop a novel framework, the implicit hitting set approach, for solving a class of combinatorial optimization problems. The explicit hitting set problem is as follows: given a set U and a family ...

This paper describes a greedy heuristic for a class of combinatorial optimization problems; a central feature of the method being a look-ahead capability. The power of the heuristic is demonstrated ...

The proposed algorithm combines variational scheduling with post-processing to achieve near-optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems with constraints within the operation time of ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

The Amplify SDK enables simple, efficient development and unified handling of quantum and optimization solvers [1]. The Amplify AE is a large-scale Ising machine that solves combinatorial optimization ...
