Title
On the Efficient Construction of Rectangular Grids from Given Data Points
Abstract
Many combinatorial optimization problems provide their data in an input space with a given dimension. Genetic algorithms for those problems can benefit by using this natural dimension for the encoding of the individuals rather than a traditional one-dimensional bit string. This is true in particular if each data point of the problem corresponds to a bit or a group of bits of the chromosome. We develop different methods for constructing a rectangular grid of near-optimal dimension for given data points, providing a natural encoding of the individuals. Our algorithms are tested with some large TSP instances.
