Evolutionary Hyperheuristics for Location-Routing Problem with Simultaneous Pickup and Delivery by Yanwei Zhao, Longlong Leng, Jingling Zhang, Chunmiao Zhang, Wanliang Wang

“…The proposed approaches manage a pool of low-level heuristics (LLH), implementing a set of simple, cheap, and knowledge-poor operators such as “shift” and “swap” to guide the search. Quantum (QS), ant (AS), and particle-inspired (PS) high-level learning strategies (HLH) are developed as evolutionary selection strategies (ESs) to improve the performance of the hyperheuristic framework. …”
