Instance-Aware Parameter Configuration in Bilevel Late Acceptance Hill Climbing for the Electric Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem

arXiv:2605.00572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Algorithm performance in combinatorial optimization is highly sensitive to parameter settings, while a single globally tuned configuration often fails to exploit the heterogeneity of instances. This limitation is particularly evident in the Electric Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, where instances differ in structure, demand patterns, and energy constraints. This paper investigates instance-aware parameter configuration for Bilevel Late Accepta...
