A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the ...

This paper considers the shortest path problem with waiting costs (SPWC) as an extension to the shortest path problem with time windows. The problem consists of finding the minimum cost path in a ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 38, No. 2 (May 2013), pp. 209-227 (19 pages) We consider a totally asynchronous stochastic approximation algorithm, Q-learning, for solving finite space ...

Whole pineapples are served in a restaurant in London. To ensure freshness, the pineapples are purchased in Hawaii and air freighted from Honolulu to Heathrow in London. The following network diagram ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...
