In this paper we present an algorithm for generating quadratic assignment problem (QAP) instances with known provably optimal solution. The flow matrix of such instances is constru...
Many heuristics, such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures are stochastic. In this paper, we propose a deterministic heuristic a...
A heuristic technique that combines a genetic algorithm with a Tabu Search algorithm is applied to the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). The hybrid algorithm improves the result...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have recently become very popular by solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an extension of the hybrid genetic algorithm f...
