Static pickup and delivery problems: a classification scheme and survey

TLDR
A general framework to model a large collection of pickup and delivery problems, as well as a three-field classification scheme for these problems, is introduced.
Abstract
Pickup and delivery problems constitute an important class of vehicle routing problems in which objects or people have to be collected and distributed. This paper introduces a general framework to model a large collection of pickup and delivery problems, as well as a three-field classification scheme for these problems. It surveys the methods used for solving them.

Reinforcement Learning for the Pickup and Delivery Problem

TL;DR: In this article , a reinforcement learning (RL) model based on the advantage actor-critic, which regards pickup and delivery problem (PDP) as a sequential decision problem, is proposed.

A New Mathematical Model for Multi Product Location-Allocation Problem with Considering the Routes of Vehicles

TL;DR: In this paper, a new mathematical model for locating and allocating in transportation system in which each production center can produces multi type of products is presented, and the objective is to minimize the total costs in the production and transportation systems such as: fixed cost of opening the production centers, total production cost and total transportation cost that are entered to system by vehicles.

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness

TL;DR: The second edition of a quarterly column as discussed by the authors provides a continuing update to the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented by M. R. Garey and myself in our book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979.

Self-organized formation of topologically correct feature maps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a self-organizing system in which the signal representations are automatically mapped onto a set of output responses in such a way that the responses acquire the same topological order as that of the primary events.
