Metaheuristics for the Asymmetric Hamiltonian Path Problem
One of the most important applications of the Asymmetric Hamiltonian Path Problem is in scheduling. In this paper we describe a variant of this problem, and develop both a mathemat...

Guided Local Search for Solving SAT and Weighted MAX-SAT Problems
In this paper, we show how Guided Local Search (GLS) can be applied to the SAT problem and show how the resulting algorithm can be naturally extended to solve the weighted MAX-SAT ...

A new ILP-based refinement heuristic for Vehicle Routing Problems
In the paper we address the Distance-Constrained Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (DCVRP), where k minimum-cost routes through a central depot have to be constructed so as to co...

A diversity maintaining population-based incremental learning algorithm
In this paper we propose a new probability update rule and sampling procedure for population-based incremental learning. These proposed methods are based on the concept of opposit...

On the Complexity of the Multiple Stack TSP, kSTSP
Given a universal constant k, the multiple Stack Travelling Salesman Problem (kSTSP in short) consists in finding a pickup tour T1 and a delivery tour T2 of n items on two distinc...

Comparison of similarity measures for the multi-objective vehicle routing problem with time windows
The Vehicle Routing Problem can be seen as a fusion of two well known combinatorial problems, the Travelling Salesman Problem and Bin Packing Problem. It has several variants, the...
