Abstract

In this chapter we consider the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with unequal demands (UCVRP). In this version of the problem, each customer i has a demand W i and the capacity constraint stipulates that the total amount delivered by a single vehicle cannot exceed Q. We let Z *u denote the optimal solution value of UCVRP, that is, the minimal total distance traveled by all vehicles.
