of those NP hard problems. The problem can be solved using a heuristic search algorithm to find the optimal solution‚ but it only works for simple cases. For more complex inputs and requirements‚ finding a considerably good solution can take a while‚ or it may be impossible. This is where genetic algorithms come in to the game. In this article‚ I assume that you are familiar with the basic concepts of genetic algorithms‚ and I won’t describe them in detail because it has been done so many times before

Linear programming is a technique which shows practical problems as a series of mathematical equations which can be manipulated to find the optimum or best solution. Blending is a graphical approach to linear programming which deals with resource allocation subject to constraints. It is a model which assists firms in deciding the best possible utilisation of limited resources. Each resource constraint is represented as a mathematical linear equation. A linear expression is an equation which links

TOWS analysis is an algorithm of the strategic analysis process‚ involving systematic and comprehensive assessment of external and internal factors that determine current condition and growth potential of the company. It is based on a simple classification scheme: all of the factors influencing the current and future position of the organization is divided into: External and internal to the organization‚ Having negative and positive impact on the organization.

THE SEVEN SORTING SCHEME 1. BUBBLE SORT The bubble sort is generally considered to be the simplest sorting algorithm. Because of its simplicity and ease of visualization‚ it is often taught in introductory computer science courses. Because of its abysmal O(n2) performance‚ it is not used often for large (or even medium-sized) datasets. ALGORITHM: for i = 1:n‚ swapped = false for j = n:i+1‚ if a[j] < a[j-1]‚ swap a[j‚j-1] swapped = true

(Cormen‚ Leiserson‚ and Rivest). What is algorithm design? Our text defines an algorithm to be any well-defined computational procedure that takes some values as input and produces some values as output. Like a cooking recipe‚ an algorithm provides a step-by-step method for solving a computational problem. A good understanding of algorithms is essential for a good understanding of the most basic element of computer science: programming. Unlike a program‚ an algorithm is a mathematical entity‚ which is independent
