Title
Metaheuristics with Local Search Miscellany Applied to the Quadratic Assignment Problem for Large-Scale Instances
Abstract
The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is classified as an NP-hard problem, so metaheuristic procedures are often used to solve it. QAP is a classic combinatorial optimization problem with real applications, for example in supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, finance, among others. In this article, to search for QAP solutions, the design of a program code for the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) metaheuristic was implemented with three different neighborhood structures contained in k-exchange mode in order to perform the local search. The experimental procedure was applied for large-scale test instances available from QAPLIB. Finally, the results of the approximations to the optimal solutions are reported.
