Parametric tabu-search for mixed integer programs
نویسنده
چکیده
Aparametric form of tabu-search is proposed for solvingmixed integer programming (MIP) problems that creates and solves a series of linear programming (LP) problems embodying branching inequalities as weighted terms in the objective function. The approach extends and modifies a parametric branch and bound procedure of Glover [Parametic branch and bound. OMEGA, The International Journal of Management Science 1978;6:1–9], replacing its tree search memory by the adaptive memory framework of tabu-search and introducing new associated strategies that are more flexible than the mechanisms of branch and bound. We also introduce new types of intensification and diversification procedures based on scatter search and frequency analysis, and also based on a variant of adaptive memory called model embedded memory. In one form this approach incorporates recency and frequency memory within the objective function structure of the parameterized LP formulations. In another form it generates valid inequalities from the optimized objective of the parameterized LP problem, and uses these as a supplement to traditional types of tabu memory. The integrated parametric approach affords a spectrum of variations that include useful simplifications for pure 0-1 MIP problems and problems with special structures, such as GUB constraints. The approach exploits both spatial and logical relationships, and is appropriate for discovering feasible solutions, as in the case of satisfiability problems. It is particularly designed to provide adaptive strategies for problems that are difficult for branch and bound and for branch and cut procedures, as opposed to problems these latter methods can handle effectively, and hence can be used to complement or supplement these more traditional types of methods. 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملFlow 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 کاملTabu Search for Mixed Integer Programming
This paper introduces tabu search for the solution of general linear integer problems. Search is done on integer variables; if there are continuous variables, their corresponding value is determined through the solution of a linear program, which is also used to evaluate the integer solution. The complete tabu search procedure includes an intensification and diversification procedure, whose eff...
