Difficult combinatorial optimization problems coming from practice are nowadays often
approached by hybrid metaheuristics that combine principles of classical metaheuristic …

Competitive facility location problems arise in the context of two non-cooperating
companies, a leader and a follower, competing for market share from a given set of …

This work presents a steady-state genetic algorithm enhanced by a complete trie-based
solution archive for solving the generalized vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands …

Over the last decades, so-called hybrid optimization approaches have become increasingly
popular for addressing hard optimization problems. In fact, when looking at leading …

In this article we propose a hybrid genetic algorithm for the discrete (r| p)(r| p)-centroid
problem. We consider the competitive facility location problem where two non-cooperating …

One of the most interesting recent trends for what concerns research on metaheuristics is
their hybridization with other techniques for optimization. In fact, the focus of research on …

Reconstruction of cross-cut shredded text documents (RCCSTD) plays a crucial role in many
fields such as forensic and archeology. To handle and reconstruct the shreds, in addition to …

Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and government regulations foster the use of
electric vehicles. Several recently published articles study the use of electric vehicles (EVs) …

We consider the recently proposed concept of enhancing an evolutionary algorithm (EA)
with a complete solution archive. It stores evaluated solutions during the optimization in …

The leader-follower facility location problem arises in the context of two non-cooperating
companies, a leader and a follower, competing for market share from a given set of …
