A branch-and-price algorithm for the temporal bin packing problem

open access: yesComputers & Operations Research, 2020
We study an extension of the classical Bin Packing Problem, where each item consumes the bin capacity during a given time window that depends on the item itself. The problem asks for finding the minimum number of bins to pack all the items while respecting the bin capacity at any time instant.

A branch-and-price algorithm for two-echelon electric vehicle routing problem

open access: yesComplex & Intelligent Systems, 2021
Motivated by express and e-commerce companies’ distribution practices, we study a two-echelon electric vehicle routing problem. In this problem, fuel-powered vehicles are used to transport goods from a depot to intermediate facilities (satellites) in the

Branch and Price Algorithm for Multi-Trip Vehicle Routing with a Variable Number of Wagons and Time Windows

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2022
Motivated by the transportation needs of modern-day retailers, we consider a variant of the vehicle routing problem with time windows in which each truck has a variable capacity. In our model, each vehicle can bring one or more wagons.

Bin Packing with Conflicts: A Generic Branch-and-Price Algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesINFORMS Journal on Computing, 2013
The bin packing problem with conflicts consists of packing items in a minimum number of bins of limited capacity while avoiding joint assignments of items that are in conflict. Our study demonstrates that a generic implementation of a branch-and-price algorithm using specific pricing oracle yields comparatively good performance for this problem.

A Branch-and-Price Algorithm for the Multiperiod Single-Sourcing Problem [PDF]

open access: yesOperations Research, 2003
In this paper, we propose a multiperiod single-sourcing problem (MPSSP), which takes both transportation and inventory into consideration, suitable for evaluating the performance of a logistics distribution network in a dynamic environment. We reformulate the MPSSP as a Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP) with a convex objective function.
