Restricted Neighbourhood Search: An Implicit Tabu Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent work 1] has highlighted the value of using a restricted candidate list in the implementation of the Tabu Search (TS) method. The original motivation for this approach was to reduce the amount of computation involved in applying TS to the solution of owshop sequencing problems. However, it is becoming evident that this concept of restricted neighbourhood search (RNS) can itself act as a diversiication method, without the need for explicit tabu data structures. This paper reports some computational experiments which compare the original ndings of 1] with an approach which uses the restricted neighbourhood alone. These results suggest that RNS imposes an implicit tabu condition on certain elements of the solution, and that the size of the restriction may interact with the tabu tenure in interesting ways.

In this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. In this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. To tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...

متن کاملGenetic tabu search for the fuzzy flexible job shop problem
This paper tackles the flexible job-shop scheduling problem with uncertain processing times. The uncertainty in processing times is represented by means of fuzzy numbers, hence the name fuzzy flexible job-shop scheduling. We propose an effective genetic algorithm hybridised with tabu search and heuristic seeding to minimise the total time needed to complete all jobs, known as makespan. To build...
متن کاملTabu Search Heuristics for the Vehicle Routing Problem
This article reviews ten of the most important tabu search heuristics for the vehicle routing problem.
