A genetic algorithm integrated with the initial solution procedure and parameter tuning for capacitated P-median problem
The capacitated p-median problem is a well-known location-allocation problem that is NP-hard. We proposed an advanced Genetic Algorithm (GA) integrated with an Initial Solution Procedure for this problem to so...
