Since then the QAP has been object of numerous investigations by mathematicians, computers scientists, ope- tions researchers and practitioners. Nowadays the QAP is widely considered as a classical combinatorial optimization problem which is (still) attractive from many points of view. In our opinion there are at last three main reasons which make the QAP a popular problem in combinatorial optimization. First, the number of re- life problems which are mathematically modeled by QAPs has been continuously increasing and the variety of the fields they belong to is astonishing. To recall just a restricted number among the applications of the QAP let us mention placement problems, scheduling, manufacturing, VLSI design, statistical data analysis, and parallel and distributed computing. Secondly, a number of other well known c- binatorial optimization problems can be formulated as QAPs. Typical examples are the traveling salesman problem and a large number of optimization problems in graphs such as the maximum clique problem, the graph partitioning problem and the min | 出版日期 | Book 1998 | 关键词 | Approximation; Facility Location; Notation; STATISTICA; algorithms; combinatorial optimization; complexity | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-2787-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-4786-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4757-2787-6Series ISSN 1388-3011 | issn_series | 1388-3011 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1998 |
