Resumen
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) We investigate a variant of the many-to-many hub location-routing problem which consists in partitioning the set of nodes of a graph into routes containing exactly one hub each, and determining an extra route interconnecting all hubs. A variable neighborhood descent with neighborhood structures based on remove/add, swap and exchange moves nested with routing and location operations is used as a local search procedure in a multistart algorithm. We also consider a sequential version of this local search in the multistart. In addition, a biased random-key genetic algorithm working with a local search routine, which also considers routing and location operations, is applied to the problem. To compare the heuristic solutions, we develop an integer programming formulation which is solved with a branch-andcut algorithm. Capacity and path elimination constraints are added in a cutting plane fashion. The separation algorithms are based on the computation of min-cut trees and on the connected components of a support graph. Computational experiments were conducted on several benchmark instances of routing problems and show that the heuristics are effective on medium to large-sized instances, while the branch-and-cut algorithm solves small to medium sized problems to optimality. These algorithms were also compared with a commercial hybrid solver showing that the heuristics are quite competitive.
