Abstract
In the swapping problem (SP), every vertex of a complete graph may supply and demand an object of a known type. A vehicle of unit capacity starting and ending its tour at an arbitrary vertex is available for carrying objects of given types between vertices. The SP consists of determining a minimum cost route that allows the vehicle to satisfy every supply and demand. This article investigates the preemptive version of the SP in which the objects are allowed to be dropped at temporary locations along the route. The problem is modeled as a mixed integer linear program which is solved by branchβandβcut. Computational results on random geometric instances containing up to 100 vertices and eight object types are reported. Β© 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. NETWORKS, 2011

In this paper, we consider the Steiner problem in graphs, which is the problem of connecting together, at minimum cost, a number of vertices in an undirected graph with nonnegative edge costs. We use the formulation of this problem as a shortest spanning tree (SST) problem with additional constraint
The Selective Traveling Salesman Problem (STSP) is defined on a graph in which profits are associated with vertices and costs are associated with edges. Some vertices are compulsory. The aim is to construct a tour of maximal profit including all compulsory vertices and whose cost does not exceed a p
In this paper, we present a branch-and-cut algorithm for the exact solution of an NP-hard extension of the well-known Minimum-Weight Arborescence (MWA) problem, in which resource constraints for each node are considered. This Resource-Constrained Minimum-Weight Arborescence (RMWA) problem arises, e.
