Given a collection of terminals, each with a demand, a collection of concentrators, each with a capacity, and costs of connecting the terminals to the concentrators, the terminal ...
A very undesirable behavior of any heuristic algorithm is to be stuck in some specific parts of the search space, in particular in the basins of attraction of the local optima. Wh...

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...
Frequently, the computation of derivatives for optimizing time-dependent problems is based on the integration of the adjoint differential equation. For this purpose, the knowledge...
The prize-collecting Steiner tree problem on a graph with edge costs and vertex profits asks for a subtree minimizing the sum of the total cost of all edges in the subtree plus th...
