A fast metaheuristic approach for the planar multiple obnoxious facility location problem
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 ...

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
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 ...

Integrated location–inventory planning for slow‐moving demands with waiting time limitations
Abstract This paper studies a stochastic facility location problem integrated with inventory and transportation decisions (SFLPIT) for supply chains with slow‐moving stock‐keeping units (SKUs). Local stores often avoid maintaining such SKUs, resulting in customer demand being fulfilled directly by a central distribution center (DC), where the ...

A matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints
Abstract We propose a matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints, where we seek to generate a set of routes with minimum total cost, in which the nodes visited in more than one route (consistent nodes) must occupy the same relative position in all routes.

A unified formulation for home healthcare routing and scheduling problems
Abstract Home Healthcare is an essential component of healthcare systems, where caregivers visit patients' homes to deliver services. While presenting advantages with respect to institutional care, such as being cost‐effective and alleviating family burdens, it presents challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers efficiently.

Bioinspired metaheuristic algorithms for global optimization
This paper presents concise comparison study of newly developed bioinspired algorithms for global optimization problems. Three different metaheuristic techniques, namely Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO), Firefly Algorithm (FA), and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) are investigated and implemented in Matlab environment. These methods are compared
