Abstract

In this paper we discuss the application of a special class of discrete optimization problems the ameso programming problems. For these problems we have established elsewhere that there exits an efficient solution procedure called the Ameso Reduction Procedure (ARP). In this paper it is shown that certain multi-type vehicle shipping problems can be expressed as ameso optimization problems. We apply the ARP to solve these problems and we present detailed numerical studies. Furthermore, the complexity of the two type vehicle problem is give.
