Nominator's project description
| Professor Cook is the world’s foremost researcher in the field of computational discrete optimization, a methodology used to solve practical problems that involve choosing the best alternatives from a field of possibilities. This research combines technics from discrete mathematics, complexity theory, algorithms, engineering modelling, mathematical optimization, data structure, and-high performance computing. During his stay at the research institute in Bonn Professor Cook will contribute his superb knowledge of the travelling salesman problem to several algorithmic problems in the area of chip design. |
