Abstract: This study focuses on reformulating the shortest path problem in undirected weighted graphs into a QUBO problem, leveraging the D-Wave quantum annealing hybrid solver for execution. While A ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the shortest path planning of unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in complicated marine environments. A novel path planning method called “sunlight algorithm” is first ...

Cold temperatures and wintry weather in Western North Carolina have served as omens of the coming winter. The winter solstice, which is just over a week away, signifies the beginning of the winter ...

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — We are about a week and a half away from winter solstice, which brings the shortest day of the year. You may be shocked to learn, though, that our earliest sunset time does ...

As the rain continues to rain, and the hour when the sky goes from a dreary lightish gray to darker gray to black gets earlier and earlier, you may find yourself wondering: Will this ever end? That ...
