The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a widely studied combinatorial optimization problem. We introduce a variant of the multidepot and periodic VRP (MDPVRP) and propose a heuristic initialized stochastic memetic algorithm to solve it. The main challenge in designing such an algorithm for a large combinatorial optimization problem is to avoid premature convergence by maintaining a balance between exploration...
This paper introduces a variant of Artificial Bee Colony algorithm and compares its results with a number of swarm intelligence and population based optimization algorithms. The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent food foraging behavior of honey bees. The proposed variant, Artificial Bee Colony with Self-Adaptive Mutation (ABC-SAM) makes attempts to dynamically...
