Abstract

We present new dynamic programming algorithms for the resource constrained elementary shortest path problem, improving on previous bi-directional approaches through new dominance criteria and bounding techniques. These algorithms are particularly useful as pricing routines in branch-and-price methods for vehicle routing problems.
