Mobility offer allocations in corporate settings
Corporate mobility is often based on a fixed assignment of vehicles to employees. Relaxing this fixation and including alternatives such as public transportation or taxis for business and private trips could increase fleet utilization and foster the use ...

Best Polynomial Harmony Search with Best β-Hill Climbing Algorithm
Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) is an evolutionary algorithm which mimics the process of music improvisation to obtain a nice harmony. The algorithm has been successfully applied to solve optimization problems in different domains.

Integrated packing and sequence-optimization problems appear in many industrial applications. As an example of this type of problem, we consider the production of glued laminated timber (glulam) in sawmills: Wood beams must be packed into a sequence of ...

Solving Single Nesting Problem Using a Genetic Algorithm
Since the Bin Packing Problem (BPP) has application to industry and supply chain management problems (to mention only the most important ones), it attracted attention from its formulation.

Ten years of feasibility pump, and counting
The Feasibility Pump (fp) is probably the best-known primal heuristic for mixed-integer programming. The original work by Fischetti et al. (Math Program 104(1):91–104, 2005), which introduced the heuristic for 0–1 mixed-integer linear programs, has been ...

A unified matheuristic for solving multi-constrained traveling salesman problems with profits
In this paper, we address a rich Traveling Salesman Problem with Profits encountered in several real-life cases. We propose a unified solution approach based on variable neighborhood search.

Variable neighborhood search: basics and variants
Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a framework for building heuristics, based upon systematic changes of neighborhoods both in a descent phase, to find a local minimum, and in a perturbation phase to escape from the corresponding valley. In this paper,

New geometrical compactness measures for zones design
The design of compact zones has been studied because of its influence in the creation of zones with regular forms, which are easier to analyze, to investigate or to administer.
