Solution techniques for the Large Set Covering Problem
Given a finite set E and a family F={E1,. . . ,Em} of subsets of E such that F covers E, the famous unicost set covering problem (USCP) is to determine the smallest possible subset of F that also covers E. We study in this paper a variant, called the Large Set Covering Problem (LSCP), which differs from the USCP in that E and the subsets Ei are not given in extension because they are very large...
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 کاملAlgorithms for the Set Covering Problem
The Set Covering Problem SCP is a main model for several important applications including crew scheduling in railway and mass transit companies In this survey we focus our attention on the most recent and e ective algo rithms for SCP considering both heuristic and exact approaches outlining their main characteristics and presenting an experimental comparison on the test bed instances of Beasley...
