In this paper, we propose an assignment-based local search method for solving vehicle routing problems. This method is a multi-route improvement algorithm that can operate on several routes at a time. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, extensive computational experiments on the...

In this communication we report our investigation of the time evolution of a single two-level ion in an anharmonic trap potential, while interacting with a single-mode laser light field. The anharmonicity of the trap potential is parametrized by the deformation parameter q. Such an anharmonic...

We have investigated the eigenenergy spectrum of the intensity-dependent Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model with and without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). Our analysis has indicated that the counter-rotating term dramatically changes the nature of the RWA energy spectrum and that the non-RWA...

In this paper we have investigated the eigen energy spectrum of the k-photon intensity-dependent Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). Our analysis shows that for k⩾2 the k-photon intensity-dependent JC model without the RWA does not have eigenstates in...
