Memetic algorithms have become to gain increasingly important for solving large scale combinatorial optimization problems. Typically, the extent of the application of local search...
Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...
This paper considers an extension of a vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB). In this problem, a set of costumers are divided in two subsets consisting of linehaul and bac...

The Multidimensional Assignment Problem (MAP or s-AP in the case of s dimensions) is an extension of the well-known assignment problem. The most studied case of MAP is 3-AP, though...
This paper presents a new Memetic Algorithm designed to compute near optimal solutions for the MinLA problem. It incorporates a highly specialized crossover operator, a fast MinLA ...
