A branch and cut algorithm for the inventory routing problem
(Bilkent University, 2019-07)The inventory routing problem arises in vendor managed systems where products are distributed from a supplier to a set of retailers by a homogeneous eet of capacitated vehicles. The routes of the vehicles and the ... -
Exact solution approaches for non-Hamiltonian vehicle routing problems
(Bilkent University, 2017-07)In this thesis, we study di erent non-Hamiltonian vehicle routing problem variants and concentrate on developing e cient optimization algorithms to solve them. First, we consider the split delivery vehicle routing problem ... -
Hub location proplems under polyhedral demand uncertainty
(Bilkent University, 2015-07)Hubs are points of consolidation and transshipment in many-to-many distribution systems that bene t from economies of scale. In hub location problems, the aim is to locate hub facilities such that each pairwise demand ... -
Lot sizing with perishable items
(Bilkent University, 2019-07)We address the uncapacitated lot sizing problem for a perishable item that has a deterministic and fixed lifetime. In the first part of the study, we assume that the demand is also deterministic. We conduct a polyhedral ... -
Multi-stage stochastic programming for demand response optimization
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)The increase in the energy consumption puts pressure on natural resources and environment and results in a rise in the price of energy. This motivates residents to schedule their energy consumption through demand response ...
