A Local Search Approach for Binary Programming: Feasibility Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a Local Search approach for NPHard problems expressed as binary programs. Our search method focuses on the fast production of feasible solutions. The method explicitly considers the structure of the problem as a conflict graph and uses a systematic neighbor generation procedure to jump from one feasible solution to another using chains of movements. Computational experiments comparing with two open source integer programming solvers, CBC and GLPK, in MIPLIB 2010 instances, showed that our approach is more reliable for the production of feasible solutions in restricted amounts of time.

Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Missing Operations: Genetic Algorithm and Tabu Search
Flow shop scheduling problem with missing operations is studied in this paper. Missing operations assumption refers to the fact that at least one job does not visit one machine in the production process. A mixed-binary integer programming model has been presented for this problem to minimize the makespan. The genetic algorithm (GA) and tabu search (TS) are used to deal with the optimization...
متن کاملA harmony search-based approach for real-time volt & var control in distribution network by considering distributed generations units
In recent decade, development of telecommunications infrastructure has led to rapid exchange of data between the distribution network components and the control center in many developed countries. These changes, considering the numerous benefits of the Distributed Generators (DGs), have made more motivations for distribution companies to utilize these kinds of generators more than ever before. ...
متن کاملA Heuristic Algorithm for Nonlinear Lexicography Goal Programming with an Efficient Initial Solution
In this paper, a heuristic algorithm is proposed in order to solve a nonlinear lexicography goal programming (NLGP) by using an efficient initial point. Some numerical experiments showed that the search quality by the proposed heuristic in a multiple objectives problem depends on the initial point features, so in the proposed approach the initial point is retrieved by Data Envelopment Analysis...
متن کاملAn Integer Programming Model and a Tabu Search Algorithm to Generate α-labeling of Special Classes of Quadratic Graphs
First, an integer programming model is proposed to find an α-labeling for quadratic graphs. Then, a Tabu search algorithm is developed to solve large scale problems. The proposed approach can generate α-labeling for special classes of quadratic graphs, not previously reported in the literature. Then, the main theorem of the paper is presented. We show how a problem in graph theory c...
متن کاملA Unified Approach for Design of Lp Polynomial Algorithms
By summarizing Khachiyan's algorithm and Karmarkar's algorithm forlinear program (LP) a unified methodology for the design of polynomial-time algorithms for LP is presented in this paper. A key concept is the so-called extended binary search (EBS) algorithm introduced by the author. It is used as a unified model to analyze the complexities of the existing modem LP algorithms and possibly, help ...
