[EN] In this paper, we introduce a novel sim-learnheuristic method designed to address the team orienteering problem (TOP) with a particular focus on its application in the context of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Unlike ...
This paper describes a simulation optimization algorithm for the Permutation Flow shop
Problem with Stochastic processing Times (PFSPST). The proposed algorithm combines
Monte Carlo simulation with an Iterated Local ...
[EN] The capacitated location routing problem (CLRP) integrates a facility location problem with a multi-depot vehicle routing problem. We consider the CLRP with stochastic demands, whose specific values are only revealed ...
[EN] The goal of the portfolio optimization problem is to minimize risk for an expected portfolio return by allocating weights to included assets. As the pool of investable assets grows, and additional constraints are ...
