- BKS ChallengeChallenge
The CVRPLIB team announces the CVRPLIB BKS Challenge, a 30-day competition aimed at finding extremely high-quality solutions for the new XL benchmark set, 100 challenging CVRP instances ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 customers.
- CG:SHOPChallenge
The CG:SHOP Challenge (Computational Geometry: Solving Hard Optimization Problems) is an annual competition dedicated to tackling specific, difficult geometric optimization problems. Originally established as a workshop at Computational Geometry Week (CG Week) in 2019, the Challenge provides a unique platform where the success of proposed solutions is measured based on computational performance on a set of carefully selected benchmark instances. This focus on empirical evaluation marks a shift from traditional computational geometry research, which often emphasizes theoretical approaches.
- COMAP contestsChallenge
Consortium for Mathematics and its applications
- COMAP mcm-icmChallenge
COMAP's Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM) are international contests for high school students and college undergraduates. The contests challenge teams of up to three students to analyze, model, solve, and present solution reports to an open-ended application problem. In these contests research, analytics, and applied intelligence are just as important as time management and problem selection. Are you and your team up to it?
