The iterative variables are partitioned into two groups. Then simple optimization approaches can be employed for each subset of variables, where optimization of configuration variables is simplified as a linear least-squares problem (LSP). Convergence of current symmetric localization algorithms is discussed firstly. It is shown that simply taking the solution of the LSP as start of the next iteration may result in divergence or incorrect convergence. Therefore in our enhanced algorithms, line search is performed along the solution of the LSP in order to find a better point reducing the value of objective function. We choose this point as start of the next iteration. Better convergence is verified by numerical simulation. Besides, imposing boundary constraints on the LSP proves to be another efficient way.展开更多

We use a new fitness function and two very effective local search procedures in the proposed MA. The fitness function makes use of a mechanism called "strategic oscillation" to make the search process have a higher probability to visit solutions around a "feasible boundary". One of the local search procedures aims at improving the lower bound of project makespan to be less than a known upper bound, and another aims at improving a solution of an MRCPSP instance accepting infeasible solutions based on the new fitness function in the search process. A detailed computational experiment is set up using instances from the problem instance library PSPLIB. Computational results show that the proposed MA is very competitive with the state-of-the-art algorithms. The MA obtains improved solutions for one instance of set J30.展开更多

文摘最小负载着色问题(minimum load coloring problem,MLCP)源于构建光通信网络的波分复用(wavelength division multiplexing,WDM)技术,是一个被证明的NP完全问题.由于NP完全问题有着随问题规模呈指数增长的解空间,因此启发式算法常被用来解决这类问题.在对国内外相关工作的深入分析基础上得知,现有的多类求解MLCP问题的启发式算法中局部搜索算法表现是最好的.研究针对当前求解MLCP问题的局部搜索算法在数据预处理和邻域空间搜索上的不足,提出了两点相应的优化策略:一是在数据的预处理阶段,提出一度顶点规则来约简数据的规模,进而减小MLCP问题的搜索空间;二是在算法的邻域空间搜索阶段,提出两阶段多重选择策略(twostage best from multiple selections,TSBMS)来帮助局部搜索算法在面对不同规模的邻域空间时可以高效地选择一个高质量的邻居解,它有效地提高了局部搜索算法在处理不同规模数据时的求解表现.将这个优化后的局部搜索算法命名为IRLTS.采用74个经典的测试用例来验证IRLTS算法的有效性.实验结果表明,无论最优解还是平均解,IRLTS算法在大多数测试用例上都明显优于当前表现最好的3个局部搜索算法.此外,还通过实验验证了所提策略的有效性以及分析了关键参数对算法的影响.
