Abstract. The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows is a complex combinatorial optimization problem which can be seen as a fusion of two well known sub-problems: the Travelling...
Abstract—In this paper, we propose a framework for employing opposition-based learning to assist evolutionary algorithms in solving discrete and combinatorial optimization proble...
We discuss how phase-transitions may be detected in computationally hard problems in the context of anytime algorithms. Treating the computational time, value and utility functions...
Branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut use search trees to identify optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we introduce an iterative search strategy...
This paper focuses on the assignment of discrete points among K robots and determining the order in which the points should be processed by the robots, in the presence of geometric...
