Exploiting orbits in symmetric ILP
This paper describes components of a branch-and-cut algorithm for solving integer linear programs having a large symmetry group. It describes an isomorphism pruning algorithm and variable setting procedures using orbits of the symmetry group. Pruning and orbit computations are performed by backtracking procedures using a Schreier-Sims table for representing the symmetry group. Applications to h...
متن کاملBiogeography-Based Optimization Algorithm for Solving the Set Covering Problem
Biogeography-Based Optimization Algorithm (BBOA) is a kind of new global optimization algorithm inspired by biogeography. It mimics the migration behavior of animals in nature to solve optimization and engineering problems. In this paper, BBOA for the Set Covering Problem (SCP) is proposed. SCP is a classic combinatorial problem from NP-hard list problems. It consist to find a set of solutions ...
متن کاملCat Swarm Optimization with Different Binarization Methods for Solving Set Covering Problems
In this paper, we present a Binary cat swarm optimization for solving the Set covering problem. The Set covering problem is a well-known NP-hard problem with many practical applications, including those involving scheduling, production planning and location problems. Binary cat swarm optimization is a recent swarm metaheuristic technique based on the behaviour of discrete cats. Domestic cats sh...
متن کاملA Binary Coded Firefly Algorithm that Solves the Set Covering Problem
This work presents a study of a new binary coded firefly algorithm. The firefly algorithm is a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic, inspired by the social behavior of fireflies, which is being applied to solve many optimization problems. We test the proposed binary coded firefly algorithm solving the non-unicost set covering problem which is a well-known NP-hard discrete optimization problem wi...

Set covering problem has many applications such as emergency systems, retailers’ facilities, hospitals, radar devices, and military logistics, and it is considered as Np-Hard problems. The goal of set covering problem is to find a subset such that :::::::::union::::::::: of the subset members covered the whole set. In this paper, we present a new heuristic algorithm to solve the set covering pr...
