An efficient composite heuristic for the symmetric generalized traveling salesman problem
Article Abstract:
A new composite heuristic was proposed to resolve the symmetric generalized traveling salesman problem. The heuristic includes an introductory phase wherein development of an initial partial solution is undertaken. It is then followed by a phase in which insertion of a node from every non-visited node-subset is observed. Its last phase entails implementation of two solution improvement procedures to the solution generated by the second phase.

Heuristic sensitivity analysis in a combinatorial environment: an exposition and case study
Article Abstract:
A method for sensitivity or post-optimality analysis was developed to solve the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP). The method takes into consideration changes in problem parameters such as load sizes and capacities. Under a combinatoric environment, it was revealed that sensitivity analysis is also used to analyze the robustness of the heuristic, the problem instance, the solution and reoptimization.

A hybrid heuristic for the generalized assignment problem
Article Abstract:
A hybrid heuristic has been developed to provide solution to the generalized assignment problem (GAP). The new heuristic combines the features of the heuristic GAP and the Variable-Depth-Search Heuristic to achieve high solution quality and minimal CPU time. The proposed heuristic has been applied in the solution of several classes of GAPs with satisfactory results.
