arXiv:2602. 07216v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) trains fast heuristics for routing problems, but planners often need more than a single solve: they ask which stop to drop, which transition to preserve, or which subset of stops to remove if a route is infeasible.
arXiv:2607. 23854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans often find good solutions to combinatorial optimization problems that are computationally hard even for advanced computer algorithms.

arXiv:2607. 16875v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands and outsourcing options (VRP-SDO), in which a logistics service provider partitions customer requests into customers outsourced to a common carrier and customers committed to its fixed fleet.
arXiv:2606. 04167v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We tackle the Metro Network Expansion Problem (MNEP), a subset of the Transport Network Design Problem (TNDP), which focuses on expanding metro systems to satisfy travel demand.
