By applying branch and bound algorithm provide an optimal route solution by prioritizing on delivering heavier, larger, and more fragile packages but still one of the shortest routes.

Zhou et al. (2016) used a modified branch and bound algorithm to find the global minimum energy conformation in structure-based computational protein design. The algorithm is able to exploit the ...

This paper presents an algorithm for determining an optimum solution to a two-stage production sequencing problem with these characteristics: There are n jobs to be sequenced in a two-stage production ...

First, we propose a CPP-solving baseline algorithm based on the iterative deepening depth-first search (ID-DFS) approach. Then, we introduce two branch-and-bound strategies (Loop detection and an ...

A branch-bound algorithm is then used to solve the problem. The method discussed in the article has been successfully used to solve 'practical' location problems with upwards of fifty plants.

It remains a crucial challenge to develop an adaptive routing algorithm that strikes a balance between the power consumption optimization and performance optimization. In this paper, we firstly ...

This solver is mainly a branch-and-bound algorithm which utilizes an ILP solver when number of non-decided nodes is small enough. Several heuristics (e.g. lower/upper bound estimation) are also ...
