A local search using solution fragments for the 2-machine bicriteria scheduling problem. (English) Zbl 1181.90118
Summary: We introduce a local search strategy for combinatorial optimization problems which explores neighborhoods obtained using fragments of current solutions. We apply the approach to the well-known $$\mathcal{NP}$$-hard 2-machine bicriteria flowshop scheduling problem. Computational experiments using benchmark data show the approach to be effective when compared to other algorithms available for the problem.
