A GRASP for Computing Approximate Solutions for the Three-Index Assignment Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this talk a greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) is presented for computing approximate solutions to the NP-hard three-index assignment problem (AP3). A FORTRAN implementation of this GRASP is tested on several problem instances of the AP3. A parallelization strategy that combines GRASP and path relinking is also proposed and tested for the problem. Computational results indicate that the GRASP and the parallel hybrid heuristic provide good approximate solutions to a variety of AP3 instances.

Grasp with Path Relinking for the Three-index Assignment Problem
Abstract. This paper describes variants of GRASP (greedy randomized adaptive search procedure) with path relinking for the three index assignment problem (AP3). GRASP is a multi-start metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization. It usually consists of a construction procedure based on a greedy randomized algorithm and of a local search. Path relinking is an intensification strategy that explor...

متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
متن کاملExact and approximate solutions of fuzzy LR linear systems: New algorithms using a least squares model and the ABS approach
We present a methodology for characterization and an approach for computing the solutions of fuzzy linear systems with LR fuzzy variables. As solutions, notions of exact and approximate solutions are considered. We transform the fuzzy linear system into a corresponding linear crisp system and a constrained least squares problem. If the corresponding crisp system is incompatible, then the fuzzy ...
متن کاملParallel Strategies for Grasp with Path-relinking
A Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) is a metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization. It usually consists of a construction procedure based on a greedy randomized algorithm and local search. Path-relinking is an intensification strategy that explores trajectories that connect high quality solutions. We analyze two parallel strategies for GRASP with path-relinking and propose ...
