We consider the Bounded Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree problem and describe four neighbourhood searches for it. They are used as local improvement strategies within a variable nei...
Given a set of jobs, each consisting of a number of weighted intervals on the real line, and a number m of machines, we study the problem of selecting a maximum weight subset of th...
We face a real-world train unit assignment problem for an operator running trains in a regional area. Given a set of timetabled train trips, each with a required number of passenge...
