Abstract

In this paper, we present an exact algorithm for the Windy General Routing Problem. This problem generalizes many important Arc Routing Problems and also has some interesting real‐life applications. The Branch & Cut method presented here is based on a cutting‐plane algorithm that identifies violated inequalities of several classes of facet‐inducing inequalities for the corresponding polyhedron. The whole procedure has been tested over different sets of instances and is capable of solving to optimality large‐size instances of several routing problems defined on undirected, mixed, and windy graphs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## 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 determinin

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
