The scope of this book is limited to heuristics, metaheuristics, and approximate methods and algorithms as applied to … solution methods used in the different chapters of the book also spread from well-established heuristics and metaheuristics …

uncapacitated planned maintenance problem (WUPMP). It introduces specific optimization algorithms such as construction heuristics …, Lagrangean and tabu search metaheuristics. A problem independent hybrid approach links and alternates between two Lagrangean … properties and lower bounds. Computational studies demonstrate the performance of the heuristics, lower bounds, subgradients …
