A Modified Genetic Algorithm for the Generalized Assignment Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a specialized Genetic Algorithm is proposed and applied for the solution of the Generalized Assignment Problem. Special crossover and the mutation operators called Common Element Crossover (CEX) and In-Pool Mutation (IPM) respectively has been defined by focusing on the special needs and nature of the Generalized Assignment Problem. The performance of the proposed method has been investigated in details via some test cases constructed for the multi-target tracking problems.

This paper aims to study the locomotive assignment problem which is very important for railway companies, in view of high cost of operating locomotives. This problem is to determine the minimum cost assignment of homogeneous locomotives located in some central depots to a set of pre-scheduled trains in order to provide sufficient power to pull the trains from their origins to their destinations...
متن کاملA Honey Bee Algorithm To Solve Quadratic Assignment Problem
Assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. In this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (QAP), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. It should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. In this paper, first o...
