SEMI-ANALYTICAL APPROXIMATION OF THE SET PARTITION PROBLEM USING THE HOMOTOPY ANALYSIS METHOD
The study illustrates the potential and the significant limitations of semi-analytical homotopy techniques when applied to NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, and identifies higher-order approximations and pole-avoidance strategies as necessary directions for improvement.
