摘要
This paper provides a tutorial on column generation and branch-and-price for vehicle routing problems. The main principles and the basic theory of the methods are first outlined. Some additional issues, including reinforcement of the relaxation or stabilization, complete the paper. For the sake of simplicity, this material is illustrated with the case of the vehicle routing problem with time windows.
