We present lower bounds for the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with and without split deliveries, improving the well known bound of Haimovich and Rinnooy Kan. These bounds are then...
We propose an effective heuristic to save memory in dynamic programming on tree decompositions when solving graph optimization problems. The introduced "anchor technique"...
This paper gives a sufficient condition for a combinatorial problem to be greedy-type-resistant, i.e. such that, on some instances of the problem, any greedy-type algorithm will o...
We consider the multiple shift scheduling problem modelled as a covering problem. Such problems are characterized by a constraint matrix that has in every column blocks of consecu...
While it was known for a long time how to transform an asymmetric traveling salesman problem on the complete graph with n vertices into a symmetric traveling salesman problem on a...
