We present an experimental investigation of tabu search (TS) to solve the 3-coloring problem (3-COL). Computational results reveal that a basic TS algorithm is able to find proper ...
: In this paper, we study the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness. We propose a hybrid shifting bottleneck - tabu search (SB-T...
Abstract The problem of finding a global optimum of an unconstrained multimodal function has been the subject of intensive study in recent years, giving rise to valuable advances ...
This paper introduces a new tabu search algorithm for a strip packing problem. It integrates several key features: A consistent neighborhood, a fitness function including problem k...
In the traveling repairman problem with profits, a repairman (also known as the server) visits a subset of nodes in order to collect time-dependent profits. The objective consists...
Algorithms based on local search are popular for solving many optimization problems including the maximum satisfiability problem (MAXSAT). With regard to MAXSAT, the state of the ...
The nearest-neighbour (1NN) classifier has long been used in pattern recognition, exploratory data analysis, and data mining problems. A vital consideration in obtaining good res...
Many problems in practically all fields of science, engineering and technology involve global optimization. It becomes more and more important to develop the efficient global opti...
Given a graph G, the Shortest Capacitated Paths Problem (SCPP) consists of determining a set of paths of least total length, linking given pairs of vertices in G, and satisfying c...
Neighborhood search heuristics like local search and its variants are some of the most popular approaches to solve discrete optimization problems of moderate to large size. Apart ...
