Variable neighbourhood structures for cycle location problems
Lamb, John D. - In: European Journal of Operational Research 223 (2012) 1, pp. 15-26
Variable neighbourhood search is a metaheuristic used mainly to tackle combinatorial optimization problems. Its performance depends on having a good variable neighbourhood structure: that is, a sequence of neighbourhoods that are ideally pairwise disjoint and contain feasible solutions further...

Optimizing at the ergodic edge
Boettcher, Stefan; Frank, Martin - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 367 (2006) C, pp. 220-230
Using a simple, annealed model, some of the key features of the recently introduced extremal optimization heuristic are demonstrated. In particular, it is shown that the dynamics of local search possesses a generic critical point under the variation of its sole parameter, separating phases of...

A simulated annealing algorithm for transient optimization in gas networks
Mahlke, Debora; Martin, Alexander; Moritz, Susanne - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 66 (2007) 1, pp. 99-115
In this paper we present a simulated annealing approach for the gas network optimization problem. A gas network consists of a set of pipes to transport the gas from the sources to the sinks whereby gas pressure gets lost due to friction. Further on there are compressors, which increase gas...

Heuristics for exact nonnegative matrix factorization
Gillis, Nicolas; Glineur, François; Tuyttens, Daniel; … - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2015
X = WH. In this paper, we propose two heuristics for exact NMF, one inspired from simulated annealing and the other from … the greedy randomized adaptive search procedure. We show that these two heuristics are able to compute exact nonnegative … also consider a hybridization between these two heuristics that allows us to combine the advantages of both methods …

A contribution to the modelling and the resolution of a multi-objective dial a ride problem
Zidi, Issam; Zidi, Kamel; Mesghouni, Khaled; Ghedira, Khaled - In: International Journal of Engineering Management and … 3 (2012) 1/2, pp. 95-116
The paper describes a system for the solution of dial a ride problem (DRP). Dial a ride problem (DRP) is to take over the passenger from a place of departure to a place of arrival. It is characterised by a set of transport demands and a number of vehicles available. The ultimate aim is to offer...

Synchronized dial-a-ride transportation of disabled passengers at airports
Reinhardt, Line Blander; Clausen, Tommy; Pisinger, David - In: European Journal of Operational Research 225 (2013) 1, pp. 106-117
The largest airports have a daily average throughput of more than 500 passengers with reduced mobility. The problem of transporting these passengers is in some cases a multi-modal transportation problem with synchronization constraints. A description of the problem together with a mathematical...
