A Hybrid Tabu - Ascent Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
The linear Bilevel Programming Problem (BLP) is an instance of a linear hierarchical decision process where the lower level constraint set is dependent on decisions taken at the upper level. In this paper we propose to solve this NP-hard problem using an adaptive search method related to the Tabu Search metaheuristic. Numerical results on large scale linear BLPs are presented.

Tabu-KM: A Hybrid Clustering Algorithm Based on Tabu Search Approach
The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often falls into these trap and therefore cannot converge to global optima solution. In this paper, an efficient hybrid optimization algorithm is developed for solving this problem, called Tabu-KM. It gathers the ...

Moreover, changes in the location and quality of existing facilities in a competitive market where a competitor offers the same goods or services ar...
متن کاملAn Improved Tabu Search Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling Problem Trough Hybrid Solution Representations
Job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is an attractive field for researchers and production managers since it is a famous problem in many industries and a complex problem for researchers. Due to NP-hardness property of this problem, many meta-heuristics are developed to solve it. Solution representation (solution seed) is an important element for any meta-heuristic algorithm. Therefore, many resear...
متن کاملNon - exhaustive search methods and their use in the minimization of Reed ± Muller canonical expansions
A number of non-exhaustive search algorithms are presented. The methods are a c̀lassical’ genetic algorithm, a tabu search, an evolutionary strategy and stochastically repeated nearest and steepest-ascent hill-climbing algorithms. They are then used to determine optimum and good polarities for Reed± Muller canonical expansions of Boolean functions, and comparisons are drawn between the relative ...
