The Fuzzy Clustering Problem (FCP) is a mathematical program which is difficult to solve since it is nonconvex, which implies possession of many local minima. The fuzzy C-means heuristic is the widely known approach to this problem, but it is guaranteed only to yield local minima. In this paper, we

The Steiner Tree Problem (STP) in graphs is a well-known NP-hard problem. It has regained attention due to the introduction of new telecommunication technologies, such as ATM, since it appears as the inherent mathematical structure behind multicast communications. In this paper, we present a tabu se
The undirected Selective Travelling Salesman Problem (STSP) is defined on a graph G= ( V, E) with positive profits associated with vertices, and distances associated with edges. The STSP consists of determining a maximal profit Hamiltonian cycle over a subset of V whose length does not exceed a pres
We propose a tabu search heuristic capable of solving three well-known routing problems: the periodic vehicle routing problem, the periodic traveling salesman problem, and the multi-depot vehicle routing problem. Computational experiments carried out on instances taken from the literature indicate t
Earlier this year two papers applying the metaheuristics Tabu search (TS) and Heuristic concentration (HC) to the pmedian problem were published in consecutive volumes of this journal. Here we apply the method of HC to some of the data sets which were used for computational experience in the paper o
