Abstract—The total transmission capacity required by a transport network to satisfy demand and protect it from failures contributes significantly to its cost, especially in long...

This paper studies an arc routing problem with capacity constraints and time-dependent service costs. This problem is motivated by winter gritting applications where the ‘‘tim...

In the capacitated vehicle routing problem, introduced by Dantzig and Ramser in 1959, we are given the locations of n customers and a depot, along with a vehicle of capacity k, an...
This paper is a study of the car sequencing problem, when feature spacing constraints are soft and colors of vehicles are taken into account. Both pseudo-polynomial algorithms and ...
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
