Everyone learns (and some readers maybe still remember) the quadratic formula. It’s a pillar of algebra and allows you to solve equations like Ax 2 +Bx+C=0. But just because you’ve used it doesn’t ...

Since procedures for producing optimal solutions to a quadratic assignment problem are computationally infeasible for any but small problems, heuristic techniques for producing approximate solutions ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract N jobs are to be sequenced on a single machine, each job carrying a penalty cost which is a quadratic function of its completion time. The ...
