Semi Quadratic Assignment Problem

چکیده

Changing the QAP's hard definition such that the facilities M are allowed to be mapped by a (single-valued, not necessarily injective) function π into the set of possible locations Y subject to a relation Π, π ⊆ Π, it arises the Semi-QAP that might be regarded as a relaxation of the QAP. In contrast to the Tree-QAP (flow graph F is a tree) the corresponding Semi-Tree-QAP is solvable in polynomial time. This enables us to show that there is a constructive approximation algorithm, here called R2, solving the Semi-QAP with O(k⋅p) guaranteeing an ε = (Cappr – Copt) / Copt = |F| +1– |M| (Semi-QAP's optimal cost Copt, and approximate cost Cappr).

A 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...

Effective heuristics and meta-heuristics for the quadratic assignment problem with tuned parameters and analytical comparisons

Quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a well-known problem in the facility location and layout. It belongs to the NP-complete class. There are many heuristic and meta-heuristic methods, which are presented for QAP in the literature. In this paper, we applied 2-opt, greedy 2-opt, 3-opt, greedy 3-opt, and VNZ as heuristic methods and tabu search (TS), simulated annealing, and pa...

Robust Quadratic Assignment Problem with Uncertain Locations

 We consider a generalization of the classical quadratic assignment problem, where coordinates of locations are uncertain and only upper and lower bounds are known for each coordinate. We develop a mixed integer linear programming model as a robust counterpart of the proposed uncertain model. A key challenge is that, since the uncertain model involves nonlinear objective function of the ...

Lower bounds for the Quadratic Semi-Assignment Problem

In this paper we will present class of new lower bounds for the Quadratic Semi-Assignment Problem (QSAP). These bounds are based on recent results about polynomially solvable cases, in particular we will consider the QSAP's whose quadratic cost coefficients define a reducible graph. Several lower bounds will be computationally compared, moreover we will present a method which improves these bou...

MATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS The Quadratic Semi-Assignment Polytope

We study a polytope which arises from a mixed integer programming formulation of the quadratic semi-assignment problem. We introduce an isomorphic projection in order to transform the polytope to another essentially equivalent and tractable polytope. As a result, some basic polyhedral properties, such as the dimension, the affine hull, and the trivial facets, are obtained in quite a simple way....

An Examination Scheduling Model to Maximize Students' Study Time

In this paper we develop a model for small scale examination scheduling. Beginning with a formulation of a quadratic assignment problem we show the transformation into a quadratic semi assignment problem and its application to a real world situation. Using simulated annealing we demonstrate the model's ability to generate schedules that satisfy student as well as university expectations.
