Large neighborhood improvements for solving car sequencing problems

Bertrand Estellon, Frédéric Gardi, Karim Nouioua (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

The 𝒩 P -hard problem of car sequencing has received a lot of attention these last years. Whereas a direct approach based on integer programming or constraint programming is generally fruitless when the number of vehicles to sequence exceeds the hundred, several heuristics have shown their efficiency. In this paper, very large-scale neighborhood improvement techniques based on integer programming and linear assignment are presented for solving car sequencing problems. The effectiveness...

Column-generation in integer linear programming

Nelson Maculan, Marcos de Mendonça Passini, José André de Moura Brito, Irene Loiseau (2003)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

We present an exact method for integer linear programming problems that combines branch and bound with column generation at each node of the search tree. For the case of models involving binary column vectors only, we propose the use of so-called geometrical cuts to be added to the subproblem in order to eliminate previously generated columns. This scheme could be applied to general integer problems without specific structure. We report computational results on a successful application...

Consistency checking within local search applied to the frequency assignment with polarization problem

Michel Vasquez, Audrey Dupont, Djamal Habet (2003)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

We present a hybrid approach for the Frequency Assignment Problem with Polarization. This problem, viewed as Max-CSP, is treated as a sequence of decision problems, CSP like. The proposed approach combines the Arc-Consistency techniques with a performed Tabu Search heuristic. The resulting algorithm gives some high quality solutions and has proved its robustness on instances with approximately a thousand variables and nearly ten thousand constraints.

Enumerating the Set of Non-dominated Vectors in Multiple Objective Integer Linear Programming

John Sylva, Alejandro Crema (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

An algorithm for enumerating all nondominated vectors of multiple objective integer linear programs is presented. The method tests different regions where candidates can be found using an auxiliary binary problem for tracking the regions already explored. An experimental comparision with our previous efforts shows the method has relatively good time performance.
