Several different ways exist for approaching hard optimization problems. Mathematical
programming techniques, including (integer) linear programming based methods, and …

Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a framework for building heuristics, based upon
systematic changes of neighborhoods both in a descent phase, to find a local minimum, and …

This review discusses and analyses three main contributions championed by Professor
Mladenović. These include variable neighborhood search (VNS), variable formulation space …

This paper surveys recent developments of hybrid solution techniques for different vehicle
routing problems. Only hybridizations of heuristic and exact solution techniques are …

Research in metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization problems has lately experienced
a noteworthy shift towards the hybridization of metaheuristics with other techniques for …

Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a metaheuristic for solving combinatorial and global
optimization problems whose basic idea is a systematic change of neighborhood both within …

Variable neighbourhood search (VNS) is a metaheuristic, or a framework for building
heuristics, based upon systematic changes of neighbourhoods both in descent phase, to …

With the rapid development of drone technology, logistics giants like Amazon and SF
Express have applied drones to parcel delivery. Drone delivery could eliminate delivery …

E-mobility plays a key role especially in contexts where the transportation activities impact a
lot on the total costs. The Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming an effective alternative to the …
