Abstract

Many combinatorial optimisation problems have constraints that are difficult for meta-heuristic search algorithms to process. One approach is that of feasibility restoration. This technique allows the feasibility of the constraints of a problem to be broken and then brought back to a feasible state. The advantage of this is that the search can proceed over infeasible regions, thus potentially exploring difficult to reach parts of the state space. In this paper, a generic feasibility restoration scheme is proposed for use with the neighbourhood search algorithm simulated annealing. Some improved solutions to standard test problems are recorded.
