Mathematical programming solver based on local search / Frédéric Gardi [and others]. [electronic resource] Gardi, Frédéric. Mathematical optimization. T57.7 519.7 22 Includes bibliographical references and index. Print version record. This book covers local search for combinatorial optimization and its extension to mixed-variable optimization. Although not yet understood from the theoretical point of view, local search is the paradigm of choice for tackling large-scale real-life optimization problems. Today's end-users demand interactivity with decision support systems. For optimization software, this means obtaining good-quality solutions quickly. Fast iterative improvement methods, like local search, are suited to satisfying such needs. Here the authors show local search in a new light, in particular presenting a new kin.
