Bounds, Heuristics, and Approximations for Distribution Systems
This paper develops simple approximate methods to analyze a two-stage stochastic distribution system consisting of one warehouse and multiple retailers. We consider local and cent...

The Shortcut Problem - Complexity and Approximation
During the last years, speed-up techniques for DIJKSTRA’s algorithm have been developed that make the computation of shortest paths a matter of microseconds even on huge road net...

Dynamic Vehicle Routing with Priority Classes of Stochastic Demands
In this paper we introduce a dynamic vehicle routing problem in which there are multiple vehicles and multiple priority classes of service demands. Service demands of each priority...
