This paper presents a column generation heuristic for the general vehicle routing problem (GVRP), a combined load acceptance and rich vehicle routing problem incorporating various ...
The job rotation problem (JRP) is the following: Given an n × n matrix A over R ∪ {−∞} and k ≤ n, find a k × k principal submatrix of A whose optimal assignment problem...
Several optimization problems require finding a permutation of a given set of items that minimizes a certain cost function. These problems are naturally modelled in graph-theory t...

Lot-sizing problems are cornerstone optimization problems for production planning with time varying demand. We analyze the quality of bounds, both lower and upper, provided by a r...

The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
