Abstract

In this paper we analyze the performance of several heuristic and metaheuristic approaches for solving the Partitioning Min-Max Weighted Matching (PMMWM) Problem. Applications of PMMWM arise in the field of balancing workload at intermodal container terminals. The problem combines the problem of partitioning a set of vertices of a bipartite graph into disjoint subsets of restricted size and the strongly NP-hard Min-Max Weighted Matching (MMWM) Problem. Both problems have recently been introduced in the literature.
