Extension of reverse elimination method through a dynamic management of the tabu list
The Reverse Elimination Method (REM) is a dynamic strategy for managing the tabu list. It is based on logical interdependencies between the solutions encountered during recent iterations of the search. REM provides both a necessary and sufficient condition to prevent cycling. The purpose of this paper is first to incorporate in REM a chronological order rule when cycling is unavoidable, thereby assuring the finite convergence of Tabu Search. Secondly, we correct a generalization of REM, the so-called...
