Abstract. In this work we extend a VNS for the periodic vehicle routing problem with time windows (PVRPTW) to a multiple VNS (mVNS) where several VNS instances are applied cooperat...
Abstract. In this paper, we review some classical recombination operations and devise new heuristic recombinations for the fixed-length subset. Our experimental results on the cla...
