text: Evolutionary algorithms have been shown to obtain good solutions for complex
optimization problems in static and dynamic environments. It is important to understand
the behaviour of evolutionary algorithms for complex optimization problems that
also involve dynamic and/or stochastic components in a systematic way in order
to further increase their applicability to real-world problems. We investigate
the node weighted traveling salesperson problem (W-TSP), which provides an abstraction
of a wide range of weighted TSP problems, in dynamic settings. In the dynamic
setting of the problem, items that have to be collected as part of a TSP tour
change over time. We first present a dynamic setup for the dynamic W-TSP parameterized
by different types of changes that are applied to the set of items to be collected
when traversing the tour. Our first experimental investigations study the impact
of such changes on resulting optimized tours in order to provide structural insights
of optimization solutions. Afterwards, we investigate simple mutation-based evolutionary
algorithms and study the impact of the mutation operators and the use of populations
with dealing with the dynamic changes to the node weights of the problem.

text: We contribute to the theoretical understanding of randomized search heuristics
for dynamic problems. We consider the classical vertex coloring problem on graphs
and investigate the dynamic setting where edges are added to the current graph.
We then analyze the expected time for randomized search heuristics to recompute
high quality solutions. The (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm and RLS operate in a
setting where the number of colors is bounded and we are minimizing the number
of conflicts. Iterated local search algorithms use an unbounded color palette
and aim to use the smallest colors and, consequently, the smallest number of colors.
We identify classes of bipartite graphs where reoptimization is as hard as or
even harder than optimization from scratch, i.e., starting with a random initialization.
Even adding a single edge can lead to hard symmetry problems. However, graph classes
that are hard for one algorithm turn out to be easy for others. In most cases
our bounds show that reoptimization is faster than optimizing from scratch. We
further show that tailoring mutation operators to parts of the graph where changes
have occurred can significantly reduce the expected reoptimization time. In most
settings the expected reoptimization time for such tailored algorithms is linear
in the number of added edges. However, tailored algorithms cannot prevent exponential
times in settings where the original algorithm is inefficient.

text: Dynamic optimization problems have gained significant attention in evolutionary
computation as evolutionary algorithms (EAs) can easily adapt to changing environments.
We show that EAs can solve the graph coloring problem for bipartite graphs more
efficiently by using dynamic optimization. In our approach the graph instance
is given incrementally such that the EA can reoptimize its coloring when a new
edge introduces a conflict. We show that, when edges are inserted in a way that
preserves graph connectivity, Randomized Local Search (RLS) efficiently finds
a proper 2-coloring for all bipartite graphs. This includes graphs for which RLS
and other EAs need exponential expected time in a static optimization scenario.
We investigate different ways of building up the graph by popular graph traversals
such as breadth-first-search and depth-first-search and analyse the resulting
runtime behavior. We further show that offspring populations (e. g. a (1 + {$\lambda$})
RLS) lead to an exponential speedup in {$\lambda$}. Finally, an island model using
3 islands succeeds in an optimal time of {$\Theta$}(m) on every m-edge bipartite
graph, outperforming offspring populations. This is the first example where an
island model guarantees a speedup that is not bounded in the number of islands.

text: Several important optimization problems in the area of vehicle routing can
be seen as variants of the classical Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP). In the
area of evolutionary computation, the Traveling Thief Problem (TTP) has gained
increasing interest over the last 5 years. In this paper, we investigate the effect
of weights on such problems, in the sense that the cost of traveling increases
with respect to the weights of nodes already visited during a tour. This provides
abstractions of important TSP variants such as the Traveling Thief Problem and
time dependent TSP variants, and allows to study precisely the increase in difficulty
caused by weight dependence. We provide a 3.59-approximation for this weight dependent
version of TSP with metric distances and bounded positive weights. Furthermore,
we conduct experimental investigations for simple randomized local search with
classical mutation operators and two variants of the state-of-the-art evolutionary
algorithm EAX adapted to the weighted TSP. Our results show the impact of the
node weights on the position of the nodes in the resulting tour.

text: In practice, e.g. in delivery and service scenarios, Vehicle-Routing-Problems
(VRPs) often imply repeated decision making on dynamic customer requests. As in
classical VRPs, tours have to be planned short while the number of serviced customers
has to be maximized at the same time resulting in a multi-objective problem. Beyond
that, however, dynamic requests lead to the need for re-planning of not yet realized
tour parts, while already realized tour parts are irreversible. In this paper
we study this type of bi-objective dynamic VRP including sequential decision making
and concurrent realization of decisions. We adopt a recently proposed Dynamic
Evolutionary Multi-Objective Algorithm (DEMOA) for a related VRP problem and extend
it to the more realistic (here considered) scenario of multiple vehicles. We empirically
show that our DEMOA is competitive with a multi-vehicle offline and clairvoyant
variant of the proposed DEMOA as well as with the dynamic single-vehicle approach
proposed earlier.

text: We tackle a bi-objective dynamic orienteering problem where customer requests
arise as time passes by. The goal is to minimize the tour length traveled by a
single delivery vehicle while simultaneously keeping the number of dismissed dynamic
customers to a minimum. We propose a dynamic Evolutionary Multi-Objective Algorithm
which is grounded on insights gained from a previous series of work on an a-posteriori
version of the problem, where all request times are known in advance. In our experiments,
we simulate different decision maker strategies and evaluate the development of
the Pareto-front approximations on exemplary problem instances. It turns out,
that despite severely reduced computational budget and no oracle-knowledge of
request times the dynamic EMOA is capable of producing approximations which partially
dominate the results of the a-posteriori EMOA and dynamic integer linear programming
strategies.

text: We contribute to the theoretical understanding of randomized search heuristics
for dynamic problems. We consider the classical graph coloring problem and investigate
the dynamic setting where edges are added to the current graph. We then analyze
the expected time for randomized search heuristics to recompute high quality solutions.
This includes the (1+1) EA and RLS in a setting where the number of colors is
bounded and we are minimizing the number of conflicts as well as iterated local
search algorithms that use an unbounded color palette and aim to use the smallest
colors and - as a consequence - the smallest number of colors. We identify classes
of bipartite graphs where reoptimization is as hard as or even harder than optimization
from scratch, i. e. starting with a random initialization. Even adding a single
edge can lead to hard symmetry problems. However, graph classes that are hard
for one algorithm turn out to be easy for others. In most cases our bounds show
that reoptimization is faster than optimizing from scratch. Furthermore, we show
how to speed up computations by using problem specific operators concentrating
on parts of the graph where changes have occurred.
