چکیده
In this paper, we investigate application of various options of algorithms with greedy agglomerative heuristic procedure for object clustering problems in continuous space in combination with various local search methods. We propose new modifications of the greedy agglomerative heuristic algorithms with local search in SWAP neighborhood for the p-medoid problems and j-means procedure for continuous clustering problems (p-median and k-means). New modifications of algorithms were applied to clustering problems in both continuous and discrete settings. Computational results with classical data sets and real data show the comparative efficiency of new algorithms for middlesize problems only.

A Framework for Adapting Population-Based and Heuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Optimization Problems
In this paper, a general framework was presented to boost heuristic optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence from static to dynamic environments. Regarding the problems of dynamic optimization as opposed to static environments, evaluation function or constraints change in the time and hence place of optimization. The subject matter of the framework is based on the variability of the ...
متن کاملNew Heuristic Algorithms for Solving Single-Vehicle and Multi-Vehicle Generalized Traveling Salesman Problems (GTSP)
Among numerous NP-hard problems, the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been one of the most explored, yet unknown one. Even a minor modification changes the problem’s status, calling for a different solution. The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP)expands the TSP to a much more complicated form, replacing single nodes with a group or cluster of nodes, where the objective is to fi...

We describe a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization problems with a specific reference to the travelling salesman problem (TSP). The method is a combination of a genetic algorithm (GA) and greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP). A new adaptive fuzzy a greedy search operator is developed for this hybrid method. Computational experiments using a wide range of...

Authors propose new genetic algorithm for solving the planar p-median location problem and k-means clustering problem. The ideas of the algorithm are based on the genetic algorithm with greedy heuristic for the p-median problem on networks and information bottleneck (IB) clustering algorithms. The proposed algorithm uses the standard k-means procedure or any other similar algorithm for local se...

Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is considered as a prime meta-heuristic algorithm to find the general optimal solution in optimization problems. This paper presents a use of ICA for automatic clustering of huge unlabeled data sets. By using proper structure for each of the chromosomes and the ICA, at run time, the suggested method (ACICA) finds the optimum number of clusters while optim...
