摘要
The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is one of the most studied classical combinatorial optimization problems. QAP has many practical applications. Designing enhanced meta-heuristic approaches for the QAP is an active research area. In this work, we propose a hybrid algorithm (EGATS) that combines an elite genetic algorithm and tabu search to solve the QAP. In the optimization process, EGATS employs two kinds of elite crossovers, repeated 2-exchange mutation, and tabu search to strike a balance between exploitation and exploration. We evaluated the performance of EGATS through computational experiments on 135 well-known benchmark instances from the quadratic assignment problem library, QAPLIB. EGATS obtained the best-known solution for 131 instances. Compared to other popular meta-heuristic algorithms in the literature, EGATS is a competitive method for the QAP. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
