Exact and Approximate Nondeterministic Tree-Search Procedures for the Quadratic Assignment Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces two new techniques for solving the Quadratic Assignment Problem. The first is a heuristic technique, defined in accordance to the Ant System metaphor, and includes as a distinctive feature the use of a new lower bound at each constructive step. The second is a branch and bound exact approach, containing some elements introduced in the Ant algorithm. Computational results prove the effectiveness of both approaches.

متن کاملEffective 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...
متن کاملRobust 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 ...
