摘要
W e use a branch-and-cut search to solve the Whizzkids'96 vehicle routing problem, demonstrating that the winning solution in the 1996 competition is in fact optimal. Our algorithmic framework combines the LP-based traveling salesman code of Applegate, Bixby, Chvatal, and Cook, with specialized cutting planes and a distributed search algorithm, permitting the use of a computing network located across Rice, Princeton, AT&T, and Bonn. The 1996 problem instance was developed by E. Aarts and J. K. Lenstra, and the competition was sponsored by the information technology firm CMG and the newspaper De Telegraaf.
