Optimising the travel time of a line plan

The line planning problem that arises in the planning of a passenger railway involves selecting a number of lines from a potential pool to provide sufficient passenger capacity, meeting operational requirements, while optimising some measure of …

An optimal parameter choice for the Dai–Liao family of conjugate gradient methods by avoiding a direction of the maximum magnification by the search direction matrix

Based on a singular value analysis conducted on the Dai–Liao conjugate gradient method, it is shown that when the gradient approximately lies in the direction of the maximum magnification by the search direction matrix, the method may get into …

Variable-fixing then subgradient optimization guided very large scale neighborhood search for the generalized assignment problem

We propose a two-phase heuristic for the generalized assignment problem (GAP). The first phase—a generic variable-fixing method—heuristically eliminates up to 98% of the variables without sacrificing the solution quality. The second phase takes as …
