In this article we investigate a new variant of Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS): Relaxation Guided Variable Neighborhood Search. It is based on the general VNS scheme and a new...
This paper proposes two modifications to the geometrically deformable template model. First, the optimization stage originally based on simulated annealing is replaced with a meta...
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...
We present a Variable Neighborhood Search approach for a network design problem occurring in real world when the bandwidth of an existing network shall be enhanced. Using two diff...
In dial-a-ride problems passengers have to be transported between pre-specified pickup and delivery locations under user inconvenience considerations. The problem variant consider...
