In April I was fortunate enough to get to present a poster at the 4th IMA and OR Society Conference on Mathematics of Operational Research in Birmingham. The poster deals with insertion heuristics for dynamic vehicle routing problems and is work that has gone towards my PhD on attended home delivery. In particular we see […]
In April I was fortunate enough to get to go to the lake district for an event hosted by STOR-i and the Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science from the Republic of Ireland. At this event I got the opportunity to present a poster, this can be found below. The poster is […]
Recently, I published blog post introducing the concept of heuristic search, this can be found here. Which was followed up with a discussion linear space search methods, in particular branch and bound, which can be found here. This blog is a continuation of these, in which some selective search methods will be discussed. In order to […]
Recently, I published blog post introducing the concept of heuristic search, this can be found here. This is a continuation of that post, in which I will discuss linear space search methods, in particular branch and bound. Linear space search methods involve the exploration of a search tree in a systematic exploration of the solution space for […]
Heuristic search A heuristic in the most common sense is a method involving adapting the approach to a problem based on previous solutions to similar problems. These approaches aim to be easily and quickly applicable to a range of problems, so as to find approximate solutions quickly without using the time and resources to develop and execute […]
