In this paper we review the exact algorithms proposed in the last three decades for the solution of the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). The exact algorithms for...
Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are new promising methods in the field of genetic and evolutionary algorithms. In the case of conventional Genetic and Evolutionary Al...
Because of the large number of possible combinations for the fuel assembly loading in the core, the design of the loading pattern (LP) is a complex optimization problem. It requir...
: In this paper, we study a new variant of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with time windows, multi-shift, and overtime. In this problem, a limited fleet of vehicles is used repe...
