Cluster validity indices for automatic clustering: A comprehensive review

open access: yesHeliyon
The Cluster Validity Index is an integral part of clustering algorithms. It evaluates inter-cluster separation and intra-cluster cohesion of candidate clusters to determine the quality of potential solutions.

Metaheuristic algorithms for the quadratic assignment problem

open access: yes2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Production and Logistics Systems (CIPLS), 2013
This paper presents two meta-heuristic algorithms to solve the quadratic assignment problem. The iterated greedy algorithm has two main components, which are destruction and construction procedures. The algorithm starts from an initial solution and then iterates through a main loop, where first a partial candidate solution is obtained by removing a ...

Conservation planning in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica): A comparative analysis of decision‐support tools

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We compare simulated annealing (SA, Marxan) and integer linear programming (ILP, prioritizr) to evaluate their performance in developing spatial conservation priorities for the proposed Weddell Sea Marine Protected Area Phase 1. While both approaches identify largely overlapping priority areas, ILP consistently produces more compact and cost‐efficient ...

A genetic algorithm simheuristic for solving the stochastic project portfolio selection problem with portfolio reliability constraints

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to the increasing complexity of modern products, dynamic markets, and intensified competition, project‐based organizations are actively seeking methodologies to efficiently manage their expanding project portfolios. This paper analyzes the project portfolio selection problem in uncertain environments. Despite recent advances in the

Metaheuristic Algorithm and Laser Projection for Adjusting the Model of the Last Lower Surface to a Footprint

open access: yesBiomimetics
Nowadays, metaheuristic algorithms have been applied to optimize last lower-surface models. Also, the last lower-surface model has been adjusted through the computational algorithms to perform custom shoe lasts.

Heuristics based on greedy randomized adaptive search and variable neighbourhood search for the minimum labelling spanning tree problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper studies heuristics for the minimum labelling spanning tree (MLST) problem. The purpose is to find a spanning tree using edges that are as similar as possible.

An efficient variable neighborhood search approach for the facility location problem with the limited choice rule

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract One of the most common problems in the expansion of a company consists of deciding the most appropriate locations for their facilities. This decision problem, known as the facility location problem, has been studied from different perspectives, considering a number of different constraints.

Solving the minimum labelling spanning tree problem using hybrid local search [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Given a connected, undirected graph whose edges are labelled (or coloured), the minimum labelling spanning tree (MLST) problem seeks a spanning tree whose edges have the smallest number of distinct labels (or colours).
