چکیده

We study vehicle routing problems with constraints on the distance traveled by each vehicle or on the number of vehicles. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled by vehicles. We design constant differential approximation algorithms for some of these problems. In particular we obtain differential bounds: 1 2 for Metric 3VRP,

Approximation algorithms for some vehicle routing problems

We study vehicle routing problems with constraints on the distance traveled by each vehicle or on the number of vehicles. The objective is either to minimize the total distance traveled by vehicles or to minimize the number of vehicles used. We design constant differential approximation algorithms for kVRP. Note that, using the differential bound for Metric 3VRP, we obtain the randomized standa...

Dhage iteration method for PBVPs of nonlinear first order hybrid integro-differential equations

In this paper, author proves the algorithms for the existence as well as the approximation of solutions to a couple of periodic boundary value problems of nonlinear first order ordinary integro-differential equations using operator theoretic techniques in a partially ordered metric space. The main results rely on the Dhage iteration method embodied in the recent hybrid fixed point theorems of D...

A PFIH-Based Heuristic for Green Routing Problem with Hard Time Windows

Transportation sector generates a considerable part of each nation's gross domestic product and considered among the largest consumers of oil products in the world. This paper proposes a heuristic method for the vehicle routing problem with hard time windows while incorporating the costs of fuel, driver, and vehicle. The proposed heuristic uses a novel speed optimization algorithm to reach its ...

A meshless discrete Galerkin method for solving the universe evolution differential equations based on the moving least squares approximation

In terms of observational data, there are some problems in the standard Big Bang cosmological model. Inflation era, early accelerated phase of the evolution of the universe, can successfully solve these problems. The inflation epoch can be explained by scalar inflaton field. The evolution of this field is presented by a non-linear differential equation. This equation is considered in FLRW model...

Stochastic Approach to Vehicle Routing Problem: Development and Theories

Stochastic Approach to Vehicle Routing Problem: Development and Theories Abstract In this article, a chance constrained (CCP) formulation of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is proposed. The reality is that once we convert some special form of probabilistic constraint into their equivalent deterministic form then a nonlinear constraint generates. Knowing that reliable computer software...
