Metaheuristics for the vehicle routing problem with loading constraints
We consider a combination of the capacitated vehicle routing problem and a class of additional loading constraints involving a parallel machine scheduling problem. The work is mot...

A Distributed Chained Lin-Kernighan Algorithm for TSP Problems
The Chained Lin-Kernighan algorithm (CLK) is one of the best heuristics to solve Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP). In this paper a distributed algorithm is proposed, were nodes i...
