Tabu search for 0/1 mixed integer programming problems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36233
We describe a tabu search approach for solving general zero-one mixed integer programming problems that exploits the extreme point property of zero-one solutions. Specialized choice rules and aspiration criteria are identified for the problems, expressed as functions of integer infeasibility measures and objective function values. Computational results are reported on a portfolio of multiconstraint knapsack problems. Our approach is designed with the ability to solve general zero-one mixed IP problems, yet it obtains solutions for the multiconstraint knapsack problem whose quality rivals, and in some cases surpasses, the best solutions obtained by special purpose methods that have been created to exploit the special structure of these problems.
