This article presents algorithms for solving a special case of the vehicle routing problem (VRP).We define our proposed problem of a special VRP case as a combination of two hard problems: the generalized assignment and the vehicle routing problem. The different evolution (DE) algorithm is used...

This article proposes a methodology to resolve the advertising method selection problem (AdSP). The use of different advertising methods for the same product can generate different responses in terms of the product's sales volume. Companies selling products have limited resources for...

This paper presents an algorithm to solve the multilevel location-allocation problem when sabotage risk is considered (MLLAP-SB). Sabotage risk is the risk that a deliberate act of sabotage will happen in a living area or during the transportation of a vehicle. This can change the way decisions...
