2 Branch and Bound [Jens Clausen (1999). Branch and Bound Algorithms - Principles and Examples.] Eager Strategy: based on the bound value of the subproblems 1. select a node 2. branch 3. for each subproblem compute bounds and compare with current best solution 4. discard or store nodes together with their bounds (Bounds are calculated as soon as nodes are available) Components Initial good feasible solution (heuristic) might be crucial! Bounding function Strategy for selecting Branching Lazy Strategy: often used when selection criterion for next node is max depth 1. select a node 2. compute bound 3. branch 4. store the new nodes together with the bound of the processed node DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 5 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 6 Strategy for selecting next subproblem Bounding min g(s) mins P f(s) s P min s S g(s) P: candidate solutions; S P feasible solutions relaxation: min s P f(s) solve (to optimality) in P but with g } min s S f(s) best first (combined with eager strategy) breadth first (memory problems) depth first works on recursive updates (hence good for memory) but might compute a large part of the tree which is far from optimal (enhanced by alternating search in lowest and largest bounds combined with branching on the node with the largest difference in bound between the children) (it seems to perform best) DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 7 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 8

3 Branch and bound vs backtracking = a state space tree is used to solve a problem. branch and bound does not limit us to any particular way of traversing the tree (backtracking is depth-first) branch and bound is used only for optimization problems. Branch and bound vs A = In A the admissible heuristic mimics bounding In A there is no branching. It is a search algorithm. A is best first Dynasearch Two interchanges δ jk and δ lm are independent if maxj, k} < minl, m} or minl, k} > maxl, m}. The dynasearch neighborhood is obtained by a series of independent interchanges It has size 2 n 1 1 but a best move can be found in O(n 3 ). It yields in average better results than the interchange neighborhood alone. Searched by dynamic programming DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 9 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 10 state (k, π) π k is the partial sequence at state (k, π) that has min wt π k is obtained from state (i, π) appending job π(k) i = k 1 appending job π(k) and interchanging π(i + 1) and π(k) 0 i < k 1 F(π 0 ) = 0; F(π 1 ) = w π(1) ( pπ(1) d π(1) ) +; ( ) + F(π k 1 ) + w π(k) Cπ(k) d π(k), min F(π k ) = min F(π ( ) + i) + w π(k) Cπ(i) + p π(k) d π(k) + 1 i<k 1 + k 1 j=i+2 w ( ) + π(j) Cπ(j) + p π(k) p π(i+1) d π(k) + ( ) +} +w π(i+1) Cπ(k 1) p π(i+1) + p π(k) d π(k) The best choice is computed by recursion in O(n 3 ) and the optimal series of interchanges for F(π n ) is found by backtrack. Local search with dynasearch neighborhood starts from an initial sequence, generated by ATC, and at each iteration applies the best dynasearch move, until no improvement is possible (that is, F(π t n) = F(π (t 1) n ), for iteration t). Speedups: pruning with considerations on pπ(k) and p π(i+1) maintaining a string of late, no late jobs ht largest index s.t. π (t 1) (k) = π (t 2) (k) for k = 1,..., h t then F(π (t 1) k ) = F(π (t 2) k ) for k = 1,..., h t and at iter t no need to consider i < h t.

4 Performance: Dynasearch, refinements: [Grosso et al. 2004] add insertion moves to interchanges. [Ergun and Orlin 2006] show that dynasearch neighborhood can be searched in O(n 2 ). exact solution via branch and bound feasible up to 40 jobs [Potts and Wassenhove, Oper. Res., 1985] exact solution via time-indexed integer programming formulation used to lower bound in branch and bound solves instances of 100 jobs in 4-9 hours [Pan and Shi, Math. Progm., 2007] dynasearch: results reported for 100 jobs within a 0.005% gap from optimum in less than 3 seconds [Grosso et al., Oper. Res. Lett., 2004] DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 13 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 14 Extensions Multicriteria scheduling Resolution process and decision maker intervention: a priori methods (definition of weights, importance) Non regular objectives goal programming weighted sum 1 d j = d E j + T j In an optimal schedule,... interactive methods early jobs are scheduled according to LPT tardy jobs are scheduled according to SPT a posteriori methods (Pareto optima)... lexicographic with goals DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 15 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 16

(hence F2 C max and F3 C max are permutation flow shop) F2 C max : Johnson s rule (1954) Set I: p1j < p 2j, order in increasing p 1j, SPT(1) Set II: p2j < p 1j, order in decreasing p 2j, LPT(2) F3 C max is strongly NP-hard DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 23 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 24

Iterated Greedy [Ruiz, Stützle, 2007] Destruction: remove d jobs at random Construction: reinsert them with NEH heuristic in the order of removal Local Search: insertion neighborhood (first improvement, whole evaluation O(n 2 m)) Acceptance Criterion: random walk, best, SA-like Performance on up to n = 500 m = 20 : NEH average gap 3.35% in less than 1 sec. IG average gap 0.44% in about 360 sec. DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 27 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 28

8 Tabu Search [Novicki, Smutnicki, 1994, Grabowski, Wodecki, 2004] C max expression through critical path Block B k, definition Insert neighborhood Tabu search requires a best strategy. How to search efficiently? Theorem: (Elimination Criterion) If π is obtained by π by a block insertion then C max (π ) C max (π). Define good moves: Internal block B Int k, definition Theorem: Let π, π Π, if π has been obtained from π by an interchange of jobs so that C max (π ) < C max (π) then in π : a) at least one job j Bk precedes job π(u k 1 ), k = 1,..., m b) at least one job j Bk succeeds job π(u k ), k = 1,..., m DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 29 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 30 Use of lower bounds in delta evaluations: D ka (x) = p π(x),k+1 p π(uk ),k+1 p π(x),k+1 p π(uk ),k+1 + p π(uk 1 +1,k p π(x),k x u k 1 x = u k 1 Perturbation C max (δ x (π)) C max (π) + D ka (x) Prohibition criterion: an insertion δ x,uk is tabu if it restores the realtive order of π(x) and π(x + 1). Tabu length: TL = 6 + [ ] n 10m perform all interchanges among all the blocks that have D < 0 activated after MaxIdleIter idle iterations DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 31 DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 32

9 Tabu Search: the final algorithm: Initialization : π = π 0, C = C max (π), set iteration counter to zero. Searching : Create UR k and UL k (set of non tabu moves) Selection : Find the best move according to lower bound D. Compute C max (δ(π)). Apply move. If improving compare with C and in case update. Else increase number of idle iterations. Stop criterion : Exit if MaxIter iterations are done. Perturbation : Apply perturbation if MaxIdleIter done. DM87 Scheduling, Timetabling and Routing 33
