Book Chapter
Castro, J. P., Landa-Silva, D., & Moreno Pérez, J. A. (2009). Exploring feasible and infeasible regions in the vehicle routing problem with time windows using a multi-objective particle swarm optimization approach. In Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2008), (103-114). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-03211-0_9

This paper investigates the ability of a discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm (DPSO) to evolve solutions from infeasibility to feasibility for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). The proposed algorithm incorporates some p...

We derive noncommutative Einstein equations for abelian twists and their solutions in consistently symmetry reduced sectors, corresponding to twisted FRW cosmology and Schwarzschild black holes. While some of these solutions must be rejected as model... Read More about Cosmological and Black Hole Spacetimes in Twisted Noncommutative Gravity.
