A Memetic Lagrangian Heuristic for the 0-1 Multidimensional Knapsack Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new evolutionary algorithm to solve the 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problem.We tackle the problem using duality concept, differently from traditional approaches. Ourmethod is based on Lagrangian relaxation. Lagrangemultipliers transform the problem, keeping the optimality as well as decreasing the complexity. However, it is not easy to find Lagrange multipliers nearest to the capacity constraints of the problem. Through empirical investigation of Lagrangian space, we can see the potentiality of using a memetic algorithm. So we use a memetic algorithm to find the optimal Lagrange multipliers. We show the efficiency of the proposed method by the experiments on well-known benchmark data.

متن کاملAn iterative variable-based fixation heuristic for the 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problem
An iterative scheme which is based on a dynamic fixation of the variables is developed to solve the 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problem. Such a scheme has the advantage of generating memory information, which is used on the one hand to choose the variables to fix either permanently or temporarily and on the other hand to construct feasible solutions of the problem. Adaptations of this mechani...
متن کاملLocal Search and Memetic Algorithms for Knapsack Problems
The 0-1 knapsack problem (KP) is widely studied in the last few decades. Despite of their simple structures, KP along with its extended versions belong to the class of NP-hard problems, and several optimization techniques have been developed to solve the problems. Some major examples are branch and bound methods and dynamic programming approaches [6], problemspecific heuristics [6], tabu search...
متن کاملLocal and global lifted cover inequalities for the 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problem
The 0-1 Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (0-1 MKP) is a wellknown (and strongly NP-hard) combinatorial optimization problem with many applications. Up to now, the majority of upper bounding techniques for the 0-1 MKP have been based on Lagrangian or surrogate relaxation. We show that good upper bounds can be obtained by a cutting plane method based on lifted cover inequalities (LCIs). As well ...
