چکیده

A GRASP (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure) is a metaheuristic for producing good-quality solutions of combinatorial optimization problems. It is usually implemented with a construction procedure based on a greedy randomized algorithm followed by local search. In this Chapter, we survey parallel implementations of GRASP. We describe simple strategies to implement independent parallel GRASP heuristics and more complex cooperative schemes using a pool of elite solutions to intensify the search process. Some applications of independent and cooperative parallelizations are presented in detail.

Fitting the Three-parameter Weibull Distribution by using Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure

The Weibull distribution is widely employed in several areas of engineering because it is an extremely flexible distribution with different shapes. Moreover, it can include characteristics of several other distributions. However, successful usage of Weibull distribution depends on estimation accuracy for three parameters of scale, shape and location. This issue shifts the attentions to the requ...

A hybrid metaheuristic using fuzzy greedy search operator for combinatorial optimization with specific reference to the travelling salesman problem

We describe a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization problems with a specific reference to the travelling salesman problem (TSP). The method is a combination of a genetic algorithm (GA) and greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP). A new adaptive fuzzy a greedy search operator is developed for this hybrid method. Computational experiments using a wide range of...

A Parallel Grasp for the Steiner Tree Problem in Graphs Using a Hybrid Local Search Strategy

In this paper, we present a parallel greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) for the Steiner problem in graphs. GRASP is a two phase metaheuristic. In the first phase, solutions are constructed using a greedy randomized procedure. Local search is applied in the second phase, leading to a local minimum with respect to a specified neighborhood. In the Steiner problem in graphs, feasib...

Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures (grasp)

This paper is a survey of greedy randomized adaptive search procedures (GRASP). GRASP is a multi-start or iterative procedure where each GRASP iteration consists of a construction phase, where a feasible solution is constructed, followed by a local search procedure that finds a locally optimal solution. The construction phase of GRASP is essentially a randomized greedy algorithm. Repeated appli...
