In this paper, we introduce DLS-MC, a new stochastic local search algorithm for the maximum clique problem. DLS-MC alternates between phases of iterative improvement, during which...
Abstract. This paper presents a simple iterated local search metaheuristic incorporating a k-opt local search (KLS), called Iterated KLS (IKLS for short), for solving the maximum c...
Abstract. To practically solve NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, local search algorithms and their parallel implementations on PVM or MPI have been frequently discussed....
The global search properties of heuristic search algorithms are not well understood. In this paper, we introduce a new metric, mobility, that quantifies the dispersion of local o...

Abstract. This paper engineers a new state-of-the-art Stochastic Local Search (SLS) for the Low Autocorrelation Binary Sequence (LABS) problem. The new SLS solver is obtained with ...
