Lifted polynomial size formulations for the homogeneous and heterogeneous vehicle routing problems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
We propose compact formulations for the symmetric and asymmetric capacitated vehicle routing problems. These formulations are obtained by lifting, using the Reformulation-Linearization Technique, a novel polynomial size ...
Solving a large-scale integrated fleet assignment and crew pairing problem
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Airline schedule planning problems are typically decomposed into smaller problems, which are solved in a sequential manner, due to the complexity of the overall problems. This results in suboptimal solutions as well as ...
