Two new heuristic algorithms for Covering Tour Problem

Covering Tour Problem (CTP) is the generalized form of Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which has found different applications in the designing of distribution networks, disaster relief, and transportation routing. The purpose of this problem is to determine the Hamiltoniancyclewiththe lowest costusinga subset of all the nodes, such that the other nodes would be in a distance shorter than the ...

Approximation Algorithms for Variable-Sized and Generalized Bin Covering

In this paper, we consider the Generalized Bin Covering problem: We are given m bin types, where each bin of type i has profit pi and demand di. Furthermore, there are n items, where item j has size sj . A bin of type i is covered if the set of items assigned to it has total size at least the demand di. In that case, the profit of pi is earned and the objective is to maximize the total profit. ...

Exact and Heuristic Algorithms for the Partition Coloring Problem

We study the Partition Coloring Problem (PCP), a generalization of the Vertex Coloring Problem where the vertex set is partitioned. The PCP asks to select one vertex for each subset of the partition in such a way that the chromatic number of the induced graph is minimum. We propose a new Integer Linear Programming formulation with an exponential number of variables. To solve this formulation to...

Exact and Heuristic Algorithms for Multi-constrained Path Selection Problem

The multi-constrained path (MCP) selection problem occurs when the quality of services (QoS) are supported for point-to-point connections in the distributed multimedia applications deployed on the Internet. This NP-complete problem is concerned how to determine a feasible path between two end-points, so that a set of QoS path constraints can be satisfied simultaneously. Based on the branch-and-...
