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 ...

Integer programming and combinatorial optimization form the backbone of many decision-making and resource allocation problems across diverse fields, from logistics and telecommunications to finance ...

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 ...
