A Lagrangian-based heuristic for large-scale set covering problems
We present a new Lagrangian-based heuristic for solving large-scale set-covering problems arising from crew-scheduling at the Italian Railways (Ferrovie dello Stato). Our heuristic obtained impressive results when compared to state of the art codes on a test-bed provided by the company, which includes instances with sizes ranging from 50,000 variables and 500 constraints to 1,000,000 variables ...
متن کاملA Set-Covering-Based Heuristic Approach for Bin-Packing Problems
Several combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated as large size SetCovering Problems. In this work, we use the Set-Covering formulation to obtain a general heuristic algorithm for this type of problems, and describe our implementation of the algorithm for solving two variants of the well-known (One-Dimensional) Bin Packing Problem: the Two-Constraint Bin Packing Problem and the basi...
متن کاملAn Iterated Heuristic Algorithm for the Set Covering Problem
The set covering problem is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with wide practical applications. This paper introduces a novel heuristic for the uni-cost set covering problem. An iterated approximation algorithm (ITEG) based on this heuristic is developed: in the rst iteration a cover is constructed, and in the next iterations a new cover is built by starting with part of t...

متن کاملA Genetic Algorithm Approach for Set Covering Problems
In this paper, we introduce a genetic algorithm approach for set covering problems. Since the set covering problems are constrained optimization problems we utilize a new penalty function to handle the constraints. In addition, we propose a mutation operator which can approach the optima from both sides of feasible/infeasible borders. We experiment with our genetic algorithm to solve several in...
