This paper introduces a new social metaheuristic for the Max-Cut problem applied to a weighted undirected graph. This problem consists in finding a partition of the nodes into two ...
We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be i...
The vehicle routing problems with time windows are challenging delivery problems in which instances involving 100 customers or more can be difficult to solve. There were many inter...
The vehicle routing problem consists in determining a group of optimal delivery routes that allow satisfaction of the demand from customers spread along a network, which can be re...
