Ant colony optimization and its application to the vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries [PDF]
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a population-based metaheuristic that can be used to find approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. It was first introduced for solving the Traveling Salesperson Problem. Since then many implementations of

A Systematic Review of Hyper-Heuristics on Combinatorial Optimization Problems
Hyper-heuristics aim at interchanging different solvers while solving a problem. The idea is to determine the best approach for solving a problem at its current state. This way, every time we make a move it gets us closer to a solution.

We consider one approach to formalize the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) in terms of combinatorial optimization theory. The transformation of the original problem into combinatorial setting is based on interpreting each operation

An improved approach to resolve a combinatorial optimization problem based CoronaVirus Optimization Algorithm [PDF]
Combinatorial optimization problems refer to intractable problems that can’t be performed using exact methods. The resolution of combinatorial problems geared towards the application of heuristics, metaheuristics also matheuristics, in order to provide ...

An Active Set Algorithm for Robust Combinatorial Optimization Based on Separation Oracles [PDF]
We address combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain coefficients varying over ellipsoidal uncertainty sets. The robust counterpart of such a problem can be rewritten as a second-oder cone program (SOCP) with integrality constraints.

Statistical Mechanics of Steiner trees [PDF]
The Minimum Weight Steiner Tree (MST) is an important combinatorial optimization problem over networks that has applications in a wide range of fields. Here we discuss a general technique to translate the imposed global connectivity constrain into many ...

Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Process Planning
Process planning is a typical combinatorial optimization problem. When the scale of the problem increases, combinatorial explosion occurs, which makes it difficult for traditional precise algorithms to solve the problem.

Short Paper - A Note on Robust Combinatorial Optimization with Generalized Interval Uncertainty
In this paper, we consider a robust combinatorial optimization problem with uncertain weights and propose an uncertainty set that generalizes interval uncertainty by imposing lower and upper bounds on deviations of subsets of items.
