A Hybrid Heuristic for Solving the Triangulation Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Triangulation Problem consists of finding a simultaneous permutation of rows and columns in a given square matrix, so that the sum of the upper-diagonal entries is maximal. The researchers study this problem intensively, as it has major applications in broad domains. A new hybrid Ant Colony Optimization algorithm is introduced, which starts with a greedy search procedure. It is followed by an improved version of the Ant Colony System combined with a problem-specific local search.
