Abstract

In this paper, for the first time, we provide a quasi-polynomial time approximation scheme for the well-known capacitated vehicle routing problem formulated in metric spaces of an arbitrary fixed doubling dimension.

Notes

  1. Here and below, we follow the well-known RAM model of computing, in which an arbitrary elementary operation over real numbers is assumed to have constant complexity.

  2. Where \({{p}^{{{\text{in}}}}} = {{p}^{{{\text{in}}}}}(\sigma )\) and \({{p}^{{{\text{out}}}}} = {{p}^{{{\text{out}}}}}(\sigma )\) are suitable portals.
