مسکن کرایه ماشین: مدل و الگوریتم تکاملی

The quota traveling car renter problem is the quota variant of the traveling car renter problem. A graph is given where a bonus is associated with each vertex. The bonus is collected at every visited vertex. Several cars are available to travel the edges of the graph, each of which associates weights with the edges. The problem involves finding a cycle on a subset of vertices such that a predefined minimum sum of bonuses is obtained at least. The objective is to minimize the cost of the tour using the available cars. In this study, we propose an integer programming model for the problem, which is solved, and we present optimal solutions for 24 instances. We propose an evolutionary algorithm with a plasmid operator, which we compare with a memetic algorithm. We also present the results obtained based on computational experiments with 72 instances.
