A Local Linear Embedding (LLE) module enhances the performance of two Evolutionary Computation (EC) algorithms employed as search tools in global optimization problems. The LLE em...
The joint replenishment of inventory problem (JRP) requires independence of minor ordering costs. In this paper we propose an evolutionary algorithm (EA) for a modification of the...
—The Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) is an optimization problem in which agents deliver orders that are not known in advance to the routing. Partial solutions need to be a...
Abstract. The Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) consists on programming and allocating ships to berthing areas along a quay. The BAP is modeled as a vehicle routing problem and a rece...
