Inter Programming Models for the Target Visitation Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The target visitation problem (TVP) is concerned with finding a route to visit a set of targets starting from and returning to some base. In addition to the distance traveled a tour is evaluated by taking also preferences into account which address the sequence in which the targets are visited. The problem thus is a combination of two well-known combinatorial optimization problems: the traveling salesman and the linear ordering problem. In this paper we point out some polyhedral properties and develop a branch-andcut algorithm for solving the TVP to optimality. Some computational results are presented.

A Random Keys Based Genetic Algorithm for the Target Visitation Problem
The objective of the TARGET VISITATION PROBLEM is to determine a path for an unmanned aerial vehicle that begins at a point of origin and needs to visit several targets before returning to its starting point. An optimal visitation sequence is one which minimizes the total distance traveled and maximizes the utility of the visitation order. This utility measure is defined for each pair of target...

Optimization of the product portfolio has been recognized as a critical problem in industry, management, economy and so on. It aims at the selection of an optimal mix of the products to offer in the target market. As a probability function, reliability is an essential objective of the problem which linear models often fail to evaluate it. Here, we develop a multiobjective integer nonlinear cons...
متن کاملComparing Mixed-Integer and Constraint Programming for the No-Wait Flow Shop Problem with Due Date Constraints
The impetus for this research was examining a flow shop problem in which tasks were expected to be successively carried out with no time interval (i.e., no wait time) between them. For this reason, they should be completed by specific dates or deadlines. In this regard, the efficiency of the models was evaluated based on makespan. To solve the NP-Hard problem, we developed two mathematical mode...
