A MAX-MIN ant system for unconstrained multi-level lot-sizing problems
In this paper we present an ant-based algorithm for solving unconstrained multi-level lot-sizing problems called ant system for multi-level lot-sizing algorithm (ASMLLS). We apply...

An improved algorithm for the p-center problem on interval graphs with unit lengths
The p-center problem is to locate p facilities in a network of n demand points so as to minimize the longest distance between a demand point and its nearest facility. We consider ...
