This is an advanced undergraduate course on algorithms. This course examines such topics as greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, string processing, and algorithms for ...

[Kory] has been experimenting with genetic algorithms. Normally we’d expect his experiments to deal with tuning the variables in a control system or something, but he’s doing something much cooler.

Successive Linear Programming (SLP) algorithms solve nonlinear optimization problems via a sequence of linear programs. They have been widely used, particularly in the oil and chemical industries, ...
