In this paper, line search based on Sequential Quadratic Programming is implemented in order to find a solution to Fuzzy Relation Equations. Sequential Quadratic Programming is a g...
—When SA is applied to continuous optimization problems, the design of the neighborhood used in SA becomes important. A lot of experiments are necessary to determine an appropria...
—Much of the computational complexity in employing evolutionary algorithms as optimization tool is due to the fitness function evaluation that may either not exist or be computat...

Abstract. In this work we extend a VNS for the periodic vehicle routing problem with time windows (PVRPTW) to a multiple VNS (mVNS) where several VNS instances are applied cooperat...
Genetic Algorithms are very powerful search methods that are used in different optimization problems. Parallel versions of genetic algorithms are easily implemented and usually in...
