Quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QIEAs), as a subset of evolutionary computation, are based on the principles of quantum computing such as quantum bits and quantum superp...
A hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA) for the p-median problem consist of two stages, each of which is a steady-state hybrid EA. These EAs encode selections of medians as subsets o...
Abstract. We address a location-allocation problem that requires deciding the location of a set of facilities, the allocation of customers to those facilities under facility capaci...
Abstract. The Linear Ordering Problem (LOP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem that arises in a variety of applications and several algorithmic approaches to its solu...
Metaheuristics represent an important class of techniques to solve, approximately, hard combinatorial optimization problems for which the use of exact methods is impractical. In t...
