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 کاملGreedy algorithms for on-line set-covering and related problems
We study the following on-line model for set-covering: elements of a ground set of size n arrive one-by-one and with any such element ci, arrives also the name of some set Si0 containing ci and covering the most of the uncovered ground set-elements (obviously, these elements have not been yet revealed). For this model we analyze a simple greedy algorithm consisting of taking Si0 into the cover,...
متن کاملFast heuristics for large scale covering-location problems
We propose fast heuristics for large-scale covering-location problems in which the set of demand points is discrete and the set of potential location sites is continuous. These heuristics are compared on a set of 152 real-life instances arising in cytological screening. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
متن کاملSet Covering Problems
Fulkerson et al. have given two examples of set covering problems that are empirically difficult to solve. They arise from Steiner triple systems and the larger problem, which has a constraint matrix of size 330 × 45 has only recently been solved. In this note, we show that the Steiner triple systems do indeed give rise to a series of problems that are probably hard to solve by implicit enumera...
متن کاملGenetic Algorithms for Large-Scale Clustering Problems
We consider the clustering problem in a case where the distances of elements are metric and both the number of attributes and the number of the clusters are large. Genetic algorithm approach gives in this environment high quality clusterings at the cost of long running time. Three new efficient crossover techniques are introduced. The hybridization of genetic algorithm and k-means algorithm is ...
