A tabu search heuristic for the design of two-connected networks with bounded rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a tabu search heuristic for a network design problem which consists in determining at minimum cost a two-connected network such that the shortest cycle to which each edge belongs (a “ring”) does not exceed a given length K. Numerical results are provided for randomly generated graphs and graphs coming from real-world applications.

Mathematical Programming Manuscript No. Exact and Heuristic Algorithms for the Design of Survivable Networks with Bounded Rings
We study the problem of designing at minimum cost a two-connected network such that each edge belongs to a cycle whose length does not exceed a given bound. This problem was rst studied by Fortz, Labb e and Maaoli 7]. Several classes of valid inequalities for this problem were proposed 5{7]. We study here the separation problems associated to these inequalities and their integration in a Branch...
متن کاملA heuristic approach for multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling problems
We present several heuristic algorithms based on tabu search for solving the multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling (SDGS) problem by considering minimization of makespan as the criterion. As the problem is recognized to be strongly NP-hard, several meta (tabu) search-based solution algorithms are developed to efficiently solve industry-size problem instances. Also, two different initi...

The supply chain network design not only assists organizations production process (e.g.,plan, control and execute a product’s flow) but also ensure what is the growing need for companies in a longterm. This paper develops a three-echelon supply chain network problem including multiple plants, multiple distributors, and multiple retailers with amulti-mode demand satisfaction policy inside of pro...
متن کاملA novel heuristic algorithm for capacitated vehicle routing problem
The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...
متن کاملA heuristic method for combined optimization of layout design and cluster configuration in continuous productions
Facility layout problems have been generally solved either hierarchically or integrated into other phases of plant design. In this paper, a hybrid method is introduced so that clustering and facilities layout can be simultaneously optimized. Each cluster is formed by a group of connected facilities and selection of the most appropriate cluster configuration is aimed. Since exact method by MIP i...
