چکیده
We devise a new approximation algorithm for capacitated vehicle routing. Our yields better ratio general routing as well the unit-demand case and splittable variant. results hold in arbitrary metric spaces. This is first improvement on classical tour partitioning by Haimovich Rinnooy Kan [16] Altinkemer Gavish [2].

A novel heuristic algorithm for capacitated vehicle routing problem
The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...
متن کاملOn Capacitated Vehicle Routing
We consider the capacitated vehicle routing problem (VRP): a fixed fleet of delivery vehicles of uniform capacity must service at minimal transit cost from a common depot known customer demand for a single commodity. This problem is modeled as a side-constrained traveling salesman problem (TSP). Among the additional constraints are the vehicle capacity restrictions, analogous to TSP subtour eli...
متن کاملLocating Depots for Capacitated Vehicle Routing
We study a location-routing problem in the context of capacitated vehicle routing. The input to k-LocVRP is a set of demand locations in a metric space and a fleet of k vehicles each of capacity Q. The objective is to locate k depots, one for each vehicle, and compute routes for the vehicles so that all demands are satisfied and the total cost is minimized. Our main result is a constantfactor a...
متن کاملHeuristic Methods for Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem
The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is a well known problem in the optimization literature. In this paper, we consider that there is a single depot (or distribution centre) that caters to the customer demands at a set of sales points (or demand centers) using vehicles with known limited capacities. The demand at each of these demand centers is assumed to be constant and known. Due to...
متن کاملCuckoo search via Lévy flights for the capacitated vehicle routing problem
For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 iterations for each run. The algorithm was tested on the problem instances from the Augerat benchmark dataset. The algorithm did not perform well o...
