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...
Companies in the concrete industry are facing the following scheduling problem on a daily basis: concrete produced at several plants has to be delivered at customers' constru...

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...
Abstract. The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising for example in the design of centralized broadcasting ...
Abstract. We consider the two-echelon location-routing problem (2ELRP), a well-known problem in freight distribution arising when establishing a two-level transport system with lim...
