Abstract
A matheuristic approach, where concepts from linear programming are integrated into an evolutionary algorithm, is proposed. It is tested on a problem arising in wireless sensor networks: a topology with minimum total power expenditure, that connects a source node to all the other nodes of the network, has to be identified. Experimental results are presented.
