Genetic algorithms are optimisation algorithms and mimic the natural process of evolution. Important operators used in genetic algorithms are selection, crossover and mutation. Selection operator is used to select the individuals from a population to create a mating pool which will participate in reproduction process. Crossover and mutation operators are used to introduce diversity in the popul...

The Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem (SDVRP) is a variant of the classical Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem where multiple visits to each customer are allowed. It is an NP-hard problem where exact solutions are difficult to obtain in a reasonable time. This paper shows a tabu search heuristic with granular neighborhood called Randomized Granular Tabu Search that uses a tabu search tech...
