The bottleneck traveling salesman problem and some variations

open access: green, 2010
We present powerful heuristics for the bottleneck traveling salesman problem (BTSP) and closely related problems such as the maximum scatter traveling salesman problem (MSTSP) and the balanced traveling salesman problem, the later being a new problem which we in- troduce. Extensive computational results are presented.

A Heavy‐Duty Vehicle Routing Problem With Temperature Constraints

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article studies a vehicle routing problem involving a fleet of heavy‐duty vehicles and pickup‐and‐delivery requests for crude items that are both heavy and high‐temperature. The objective is to route the fleet in such a way that maximizes resource efficiency and operational efficiency while simultaneously avoiding thermal overload of any ...

Quantifying Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance: An Early Experiment Using Network Design Tasks

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural Complexity is perceived as driving cost in system development, yet managing it effectively requires empirical understanding. This study investigates human decision‐making using a toy transportation‐style network design task, focusing on how Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance interact. Seventy‐four participants (primarily

The team orienteering problem with variable time windows

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1705-1732, May 2026.
Abstract The orienteering problem is well‐established within the domain of operational research. This paper introduces the team orienteering problem with variable time windows (TOPVTW) as a new variant of the team orienteering problem with time windows. The distinguishing feature of the TOPVTW is the adaptive time windows, which evolve dynamically as a

Is Computing with Light All You Need? A Perspective on Codesign for Optical Artificial Intelligence and Scientific Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
This perspective article considers what computations optical computing can and should enable. Focusing upon free‐space optical computing, it argues that a codesign approach whereby materials, devices, architectures, and algorithms are simultaneously optimized is needed.

Automating Algorithm Experiments With ALGator: From Problem Modeling to Reproducible Results

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 26-41, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Theoretical algorithm analysis provides fundamental insights into algorithm complexity but relies on simplified and often outdated computational models. Experimental algorithmics complements this approach by evaluating the empirical performance of algorithm implementations on real data and modern computing platforms.

Workload equity in multiperiod vehicle routing problems

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 245-267, January 2026.
Abstract An equitable distribution of workload is essential when deploying vehicle routing solutions in practice. For this reason, previous studies have formulated vehicle routing problems with workload‐balance objectives or constraints, leading to trade‐off solutions between routing costs and workload equity.
