The Mothership and Multiple drone routing problem with graphs with partially overlapping operations.
L. Amorosi, J. Puerto, C. Valverde Martín
This paper considers the optimization problems that arise to coordinate a tandem between a mothership vehicle and a fleet of drones. Each drone can be launched from the mothership to perform an operation. After completing the operations, the drones return to the mothership to recharge the batteries and to be ready for a new operation. Operations consist on (partially) visiting graphs with a given length to deliver some services or to perform some surveillance/inspection activity. The goal is to minimize the overall time of travelling made by the mothership while satisfying some requirements in terms of fractions
of visits to the target graphs. In all cases, we develop exact formulations resorting to mixed integer second-order cone programs that are compared on a testbed of instances to assess their performance. We also develop a matheuristic algorithm that provides reasonable solutions. Computational experiments show the usefulness of our methodology in different scenarios.

Visit Alhambra
Tomorrow, Thursday, we will visit the Alhambra. 1. At 7:00 p.m., buses will start leaving from the door of the Hotel Granada Center (in front of the door of the Faculty of Sciences) 2. Upon arrival, groups with guides will be organized. 3. There will be groups in English language. These groups will wait at the destination until the arrival of all buses. 4. After the visit to the Alhambra we will walk to the Carmen de los Mártires to have a cocktail. 5. On the way back, we can go back by bus, which will leave from the same place where they left us at the Alhambra. 6. Although the way to the Alhambra by bus seems long, it really is close to the city. We invite you, whoever wishes, to go down for a pleasant walk. 7. Do not forget to take your Alhambra ticket and your identity card or passport. The document must be the same whose number matches the ticket number you have.
