Effective heuristics for the Set Covering with Pairs Problem
This paper deals with the Set Covering with Pairs Problem (SCPP). This problem is a generalization of the Set Covering Problem (SCP), which is known to be NP-hard. The difference between both problems is that, in the SCPP, one element of the universe is admitted to be covered if there are at least two specific objects chosen to cover it. In this context, three constructive heuristics, one local...
متن کاملRelaxation Heuristics for the Set Covering Problem
The set covering problem (SCP) is one of representative combinatorial optimization problems, which has many practical applications. The continuous development of mathematical programming has derived a number of impressive heuristic algorithms as well as exact branch-and-bound algorithms, which can solve huge SCP instances of bus, railway and airline crew scheduling problems. We survey heuristic...
متن کاملEffective heuristics and meta-heuristics for the quadratic assignment problem with tuned parameters and analytical comparisons
Quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a well-known problem in the facility location and layout. It belongs to the NP-complete class. There are many heuristic and meta-heuristic methods, which are presented for QAP in the literature. In this paper, we applied 2-opt, greedy 2-opt, 3-opt, greedy 3-opt, and VNZ as heuristic methods and tabu search (TS), simulated annealing, and pa...
متن کاملA Local Branching Approach for the Set Covering Problem
The set covering problem (SCP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem. This paper investigates development of a local branching approach for the SCP. This solution strategy is exact in nature, though it is designed to improve the heuristic behavior of the mixed integer programming solver. The algorithm parameters are tuned by design of experiments approach. The proposed method is te...
متن کاملAn effective and simple heuristic for the set covering problem
This paper investigates the development of an effective heuristic to solve the set covering problem (SCP) by applying the meta-heuristic Meta-RaPS (Meta-heuristic for Randomized Priority Search). In Meta-RaPS, a feasible solution is generated by introducing random factors into a construction method. Then the feasible solutions can be improved by an improvement heuristic. In addition to applying...
