Selected Matheuristic algorithms for VRP (Review)

Event details

Matheuristics are algorithms which are using mathematical models to accelerate the heuritics algorithms to solve large size mathematical models. Vehicle routing problem is a variant of Operations research problems which will need an efficient algorithm to solve large instances. The VRP has various applications such as supply chain and last mile delivery, healthcare management, disaster management etc. So, using an efficient algorithm to solve those problems is essential. In this presentation ten of selected papers will be considered and their approach on using Mathuristic algorithms will be investigated. Their similarities and differences will be discussed.
