Linear barycentric rational interpolants are a particular kind of rational interpolants, defined by weights that are independent of the function f. Such interpolants have recently proved to be a viable alternative to more classical interpolation methods, such as global polynomial interpolants and splines, especially in the equispaced setting. Other kinds of interpolants might indeed suffer...

Stochastic vehicle routing : from theory to practice

Weyland, Dennis ; Gambardella, Luca Maria (Dir.) ; Montemanni, Roberto (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2013 ; 2013INFO002.

In this thesis we discuss practical and theoretical aspects of various stochastic vehicle routing problems. These are combinatorial optimization problems related to the field of transportation and logistics in which input data is (partially) represented in a stochastic way. More in detail, we focus on two-stage stochastic vehicle routing problems and in particular on so-called a priori...
