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...
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...
This paper presents a local search algorithm based on variable depth search, called the k-opt local search, for the maximum clique problem. The k-opt local search performs add and...
This paper investigates the capabilities of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) meta-heuristic for solving the maximum clique problem, the goal of which is to find a largest set of ...
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
