Optimised search heuristic combining valid inequalities and tabu search [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper presents an Optimised Search Heuristic that combines a tabu search method with the verification of violated valid inequalities. The solution delivered by the tabu search is partially destroyed by a randomised greedy procedure, and then the ...

Runtime analysis of randomized search heuristics for dynamic graph coloring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We contribute to the theoretical understanding of randomized search heuristics for dynamic problems. We consider the classical graph coloring problem and investigate the dynamic setting where edges are added to the current graph.

Complete local search with memory [PDF]

open access: yes
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 from tabu search, most of these heuristics are memoryless. In this paper we

Extreme-Point-based Heuristics for the Three-Dimensional Bin Packing problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
One of the main issues in addressing three-dimensional packing problems is finding an efficient and accurate definition of the points at which to place the items inside the bins, because the performance of exact and heuristic solution methods is actually

Vacancy referrals, job search and the duration of unemployment: a randomized experiment [PDF]

open access: yes
One goal of the public employment service is to facilitate matching between unemployed job seekers and job vacancies; another goal is to monitor job search so as to bring search efforts among the unemployed in line with search requirements.

Local search heuristics for multi-index assignment problems with decomposable costs. [PDF]

open access: yes
The multi-index assignment problem (MIAP) with decomposable costs is a natural generalization of the well-known assignment problem. Applications of the MIAP arise for instance in the field of multi-target multi-sensor tracking.

Solving the flight perturbation problem with meta heuristics

open access: yes, 2006
When there is a perturbation in a carefully constructed aircraft schedule, e.g. an aircraft breakdown, it is important to minimize the negative consequences of this disturbance.

Upper and Lower Bounds for Randomized Search Heuristics in Black-Box Optimization

open access: yes, 2003
Randomized search heuristics like local search, tabu search, simulated annealing or all kinds of evolutionary algorithms have many applications. However, for most problems the best worst-case expected run times are achieved by more problem-specific ...

Consumer choice in competitive location models: Formulations and heuristics [PDF]

open access: yes
A new direction of research in Competitive Location theory incorporates theories of Consumer Choice Behavior in its models. Following this direction, this paper studies the importance of consumer behavior with respect to distance or transportation costs ...

Hybrid Meta-Heuristics for Robust Scheduling [PDF]

open access: yes
The production and delivery of rapidly perishable goods in distributed supply networks involves a number of tightly coupled decision and optimization problems regarding the just-in-time production scheduling and the routing of the delivery vehicles in ...
