A Hybrid Grasp with Perturbations and Adaptive Path-relinking for the Steiner Problem in Graphs

چکیده
We propose and describe a hybrid GRASP with weight perturbations and adaptive path-relinking heuristic (HGP-PR) for the Steiner problem in graphs. In this multi-start approach, the greedy randomized construction phase of a GRASP is replaced by the combination of several construction heuristics with a weight perturbation strategy that combines intensification and diversification elements, as in a strategic oscillation approach. The improvement phase circularly explores two different local search strategies: the first uses a node-based neighborhood for local search, while the second uses a key-path-based neighborhood. An adaptive path-relinking technique is applied to a set of elite solutions as a post-optimization strategy. Computational experiments on a large set of benchmark problems of three different classes are reported. We first illustrate the effectiveness of preprocessing procedures for several classes of test problems. Next, we present computational results illustrating the contribution of each algorithmic feature to the robustness of the complete algorithm. Finally, we show that our algorithm outperforms other heuristics in the literature, obtaining consistently better or comparably good solutions for all classes of test problems.

متن کاملA Parallel Grasp for the Steiner Tree Problem in Graphs Using a Hybrid Local Search Strategy
In this paper, we present a parallel greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) for the Steiner problem in graphs. GRASP is a two phase metaheuristic. In the first phase, solutions are constructed using a greedy randomized procedure. Local search is applied in the second phase, leading to a local minimum with respect to a specified neighborhood. In the Steiner problem in graphs, feasib...
متن کاملA hybrid GRASP algorithm for minimizing total weighted resource tardiness penalty costs in scheduling of project networks
In this paper, we consider scheduling of project networks under minimization of total weighted resource tardiness penalty costs. In this problem, we assume constrained resources are renewable and limited to very costly machines and tools which are also used in other projects and are not accessible in all periods of time of a project. In other words, there is a dictated ready date as well as a d...

The paper presents Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure with Path Relinking (GRASP with PR) for the Critical Node Detection Problem (CNDP). An evolutionary Path Relinking mechanism is added to GRASP with PR to intensify. Our computational experiments show that this algorithm is a competitive method compared with the previously proposed methods for solving CNDP such as Variable Neighborho...
متن کاملGreedy randomized adaptive search procedure with exterior path relinking for differential dispersion minimization
We propose several new hybrid heuristics for the differential dispersion problem, the best of which consists of a GRASP with sampled greedy construction with variable neighborhood search for local improvement. The heuristic maintains an elite set of high-quality solutions throughout the search. After a fixed number of GRASP iterations, exterior path relinking is applied between all pairs of eli...
