Abstract: The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well known method for the optimisation problem that asks you to find the shortest route that visits each city in a set exactly once and then goes ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a federal government-sponsored retirement savings and investment plan. The purpose of the TSP is to provide retirement income. The TSP is a defined contribution plan.

When you create an algorithm, you need to include precise, step-by-step instructions. This means you will need to break down the task or problem into smaller steps. We call this process decomposition.

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of constructing Steiner forest with specific material with fixed length. Specifically, given a weighted undirected graph, where each edge has an ...

Machine learning is the ability of a machine to improve its performance based on previous results. Machine learning methods enable computers to learn without being explicitly programmed and have ...

Computer science is the study and development of the protocols required for automated processing and manipulation of data. This includes, for example, creating algorithms for efficiently searching ...

Start by setting the counter to the middle position in the list. If the value held there is a match, the search ends. If the value at the midpoint is less than the value to be found, the list is ...

A comprehensive Python toolkit for solving NP-complete optimization problems, featuring multiple algorithmic approaches from exact methods to metaheuristics. Originally developed during graduate ...

For decades, the G-Fund has been the bedrock of the Thrift Savings Plan. It’s the default “safe haven” for federal employees and retirees because it promises safety. On paper, there’s no risk of ...

Summary: The TSP’s performance in 2025 ended on a much stronger note than anyone expected after a rough start to the year. International stocks pulled ahead, bonds finally delivered meaningful gains, ...

This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the ...
