A Hybrid Algorithm for Metaheuristic Optimization
, 2019 We propose a novel, flexible algorithm for combining together metaheuristicoptimizers for non-convex optimization problems. Our approach treatsthe constituent optimizers as a team of complex agents that communicateinformation amongst each other at various intervals during the simulationprocess.

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract One of the most common problems in the expansion of a company consists of deciding the most appropriate locations for their facilities. This decision problem, known as the facility location problem, has been studied from different perspectives, considering a number of different constraints.

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.

A fast metaheuristic approach for the planar multiple obnoxious facility location problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The multiple obnoxious facility location problem is one of the most studied problems in the literature of the obnoxious facility location problems family. In this work, we propose an alternative algorithmic approach for this problem, based on an efficient metaheuristic procedure over a discretization of the plane based on Voronoi diagrams ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...

An iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic with local search for the rank pricing problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The rank pricing problem involves determining optimal prices for a set of products while accounting for customers' budgets and preferences. This study develops an iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic to efficiently solve this problem. The core idea is to generate a sequence of solutions by iteratively applying destruction and reconstruction ...
