Designing memetic algorithms for real-world applications using self-imposed constraints
— Memetic algorithms (MAs) combine the global exploration abilities of evolutionary algorithms with a local search to further improve the solutions. While a neighborhood can be e...

Variable neighborhood search and local branching
In this paper we develop a variable neighborhood search (VNS) heuristic for solving mixed-integer programs (MIPs). It uses CPLEX, the general-purpose MIP solver, as a black-box. N...
