We give a probabilistic analysis of the unit-demand Euclidean capacitated vehicle routing problem in the random setting, where the input distribution consists of n unit-demand customers modeled as independent, identically distributed uniform random points in the two-dimensional plane. The objective is to visit every customer using a set of routes of minimum total length, such that each route visits at most k customers, where k is the capacity of a vehicle. All of the following results are in…

A heuristics which first clusters customers around the nearest depot and then does the TSP routing is shown to find an optimal tour almost surely, which decay as fast as $(1+\lambda)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$.

This paper proposes an EPTAS for the Euclidean CVRP for any fixed dimension and aims to bridge the gap between the proposed PTAS and the known results on how to solve the combinatorial problem of capacitated vehicle routing.

This work considers partitioning algorithms for the approximate solution of large instances of the traveling-salesman problem in the plane, in which partitioning is used in conjunction with existing heuristic algorithms.
Vehicle routing with pick-up and delivery: tour-partitioning heuristics
Abstract Many applications of the classical vehicle routing problem involve pick-up and delivery services between the depot and peripheral locations (warehouses, stores, stations). This paper studies

We consider the multidepot capacitated vehicle routing problems and analyze the tour partitioning heuristics for different versions of the model. We prove that the worst-case ratios of the heuristics
