Comparison of Optimisation Methods for The Knapsack Problem: Steepest Ascent Hill Climbing vs. Simulated Annealing

I have published my paper “Comparison of Optimisation Methods for The Knapsack Problem: Steepest Ascent Hill Climbing vs. Simulated Annealing” on ResearchGate. The paper explores the application of optimization algorithms, specifically Hill Climbing and Simulated Annealing, to solve the knapsack problem. The knapsack problem is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem...

The Rose Garden Puzzle

“A friend of mine,” said Professor Rackbrane, “has a rectangular garden, and he wants to make exactly one-half of it into a large bed of roses with a gravel path of uniform width around it. Can you find a general rule that will apply equally to any rectangular garden, regardless...
