Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Focusing on the Golden Ball Metaheuristic: An Extended Study on a Wider Set of Problems
Nowadays, the development of new metaheuristics for solving optimization problems is a topic of interest in the scientific community. In the literature, a large number of techniques of this kind can be found.

Ensuring connectedness for the maximum quasi‐clique and densest k‐subgraph problems
Abstract Given an undirected graph G$G$, a quasi‐clique is a subgraph of G$G$ with density at least γ$\gamma$ (0<γ≤1)$(0 < \gamma \le 1)$. Two optimisation problems can be defined for quasi‐cliques: the maximum quasi‐clique (MQC) problem, which finds a quasi‐clique with maximum vertex cardinality, and the densest k$k$‐subgraph (DKS) problem, which ...

Optimal multi-objective discrete decision making using a multidirectional modified Physarum solver [PDF]
This paper will address a bio-inspired algorithm able to incrementally grow decision graphs in multiple directions for discrete multi-objective optimization. The algorithm takes inspiration from the slime mould Physarum Polycephalum, an amoeboid organism

Optimization Algorithms Based on Renormalization Group
Global changes of states are of crucial importance in optimization algorithms. We review some heuristic algorithms in which global updates are realized by a sort of real-space renormalization group transformation.

Abstract We analyse the behaviour of multinational enterprises (MNEs) within a host nation – Australia – during deglobalization (1914–79). Deglobalization is often portrayed as a drastic event to which MNEs respond swiftly, probably through withdrawal from host countries.

The optimization of logistics distribution can be defined as the multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP). The purpose of existing heuristic algorithms, such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Ant Colony Algorithm (ACO), etc., is to find the optimal path in a ...

k-RNN: Extending NN-heuristics for the TSP
In this paper we present an extension of existing Nearest-Neighbor heuristics to an algorithm called k-Repetitive-Nearest-Neighbor. The idea is to start with a tour of k nodes and then perform a Nearest-Neighbor search from there on. After doing this for

A Colored Traveling Salesman Problem with Varying City Colors
A colored traveling salesman problem (CTSP) is a path optimization problem in which colors are used to characterize diverse matching relationship between cities and salesmen.
