Abstract. For solving combinatorial optimisation problems, exact methods accurately exploit the structure of the problem but are tractable only up to a certain size; approximation ...
We investigate a variant of the Fixed Charge Shortest Paths problem which enumerates the sequence of optimal solutions that arise as the focus shifts from the fixed cost parameter...
The maximum independent set problem is NP-complete for graphs in general, but becomes solvable in polynomial time when restricted to graphs in many special classes. The problem is ...
We present some proposals to approximately solve a period vehicle routing problem used to model the extraction of oil from a set of onshore oil wells in Brazil. This problem diffe...

The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...
