The lab studies algorithms for deciding plans and allocations in the best possible way.

AboutAbout the lab
Searching for the best choices with algorithms.
The Tamura-Ikebe Lab studies, with an emphasis on algorithms, problems of deciding on the "optimal" selection from several candidates according to a given criterion.
One example is the problem of dividing parcel deliveries among several trucks and determining delivery routes that keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Another example is a scheduling problem in a sports league's round-robin tournament: deciding when and where matches are played so that travel distances are kept small.
The lab's introduction page lists the traveling umpire problem and the undirected minimum-cost flow problem, among others, as research themes.
Key terms
- Combinatorial optimization
- A field that deals with the problem of finding the best selection according to some criterion when choosing items from many candidates
- Algorithms
- Step-by-step computational procedures for solving a problem. The lab studies methods with an emphasis on this aspect
- Scheduling problems
- Problems such as deciding when and where each pair of teams plays when teams, each with a home venue, compete in a round-robin tournament
ResearchResearch themes
In planning and design, problems of selecting items from several candidates to make something "optimal" arise frequently. The lab studies methods for solving such problems in the field of combinatorial optimization, with an emphasis on algorithms.
