Abstract

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm with auxiliary objectives is proposed to resolve the truck and trailer routing problem. In this proposal, each member of the population does not represent a complete solution as in almost any evolutionary algorithm. In addition, for each member, an aptitude is not possible to compute based only on its codification, because the member has only partial information of the solution. All the members of the population have partial information of the solution. Therefore, these members need to cooperate to obtain an aptitude for the entire population. This way of computing fitness is clearly a gap in the literature, and must be investigated. Moreover, the multi-objectivization approach incorporates an important feature to the proposed algorithm in order to improve its performance, i.e., the multi-objectivization approach permits to identify the best trips using the auxiliary objectives. Enough experimental results are shown that the cooperative algorithm is competitive against other current evolutionary algorithms. There no exist statistically significant difference between the cooperative algorithm and the others.

Abstract

Precision agriculture employs sophisticated tools to optimize decision-making in farming, aiming to simultaneously improve crop yields and manage resources more effectively in a context of increasing scarcity and rising costs. A key aspect of precision agriculture is the delineation of site-specific management zones (SSMZs), which involves segmenting a field into areas that are homogeneous in terms of soil physicochemical properties. The problem of delineating SSMZ have been approached using a wide variety of methodologies, all of which, heuristic, focus on finding feasible solutions. Until this work, there was no exact algorithm or mathematical model that would allow for a point of comparison. This paper introduces a novel approach to tackle the delineation of SSMZ with orthogonal shapes through the development of a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model. Small instances with different scenarios show the scope of the proposed approach and the significance of the results. It provides a structure for the SSMZ problem with orthogonal shapes and establishes a benchmark for evaluating the performance of heuristic solutions, metaheuristics, or hybrid approaches.
