• Abstract: This paper presents a method for choosing a Particle Swarm Optimization based optimizer for the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem on the basis of the initially available data of a given problem instance. The optimization algorithm is chosen on the basis of a prediction made by a linear model trained on that data and the relative results obtained by the optimization algorithms. The achieved results suggest that such a model can be used in a hyper-heuristic approach as it improved the average results, obtained on the set of benchmark instances, by choosing the appropriate algorithm in 82% of significant cases. Two leading multi-swarm Particle Swarm Optimization based algorithms for solving the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem are used as the basic optimization algorithms: Khouadjia's et al. Multi-Environmental Multi-Swarm Optimizer and authors' 2--Phase Multiswarm Particle Swarm Optimization.

  Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms such as Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) are considered as one of the most encouraging approaches for taking advantage of near-term quantum computers in practical applications. Such algorithms are usually implemented in a variational form, combining a classical optimization method with a quantum machine to find good solutions to an optimization problem. In this study we apply a Cross-Entropy method to shape this landscape, which allows the classical parameter to find better parameters more easily and hence results in an improved performance.
