This article describes a heuristic and two exact algorithms for several classes of vehicle routing problems defined on tree networks. These include capacitated and time-constrained vehicle routing problems. One of the exact algorithms is based on the computation of bin packing lower bounds. The othe

The Euclidean Steiner tree problem asks for a shortest network interconnecting a set of terminals in the plane. Over the last decade, the maximum problem size solvable within 1 h (for randomly generated problem instances) has increased from 10 to approximately 50 terminals. We present a new exact al
For networks in which traffic flows are routed for minimum cost, an efficient technique is presented which provides detailed understanding of traffic flow patterns. Summary--For a two-way communications network in which each link is assigned a cost per traffic unit, a minimum cost routing policy (M
We improve the time and space complexities of dynamic programming algorithms that compute optimal Steiner trees spanning nodes in planar networks. Our algorithms have special application to the rectilinear Steiner problem.
