A Problem-Reduction Evolutionary Algorithm for Solving the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem

Assessment of the components of a solution helps provide useful information for an optimization problem. This paper presents a new population-based problem-reduction evolutionary algorithm (PREA) based on the solution components assessment. An individual solution is regarded as being constructed by...
