Farmer Ants Optimization Algorithm: A Novel Metaheuristic for Solving Discrete Optimization Problems
InformationCurrently, certain complex issues are classified as NP-hard problems, for which there is no exact solution, or they cannot be solved in a reasonable amount of time. As a result, metaheuristic algorithms have been developed as an alternative.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Distributed manufacturing enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) allows supply chains to rapidly adapt to changing market conditions through flexible facility relocation and capacity adjustment. However, existing studies largely overlook the logistical aspects of AM‐based supply chains and typically treat facility location and logistics ...
