Pm. Pardalos et al., ALGORITHM 769 - FORTRAN SUBROUTINES FOR APPROXIMATE SOLUTION OF SPARSE QUADRATIC ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS USING GRASP, ACM transactions on mathematical software, 23(2), 1997, pp. 196-208
We describe Fortran subroutines for finding approximate solutions of s
parse instances of the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) using a Gree
dy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP). The design and implem
entation of the code are described in detail. Computational results co
mparing the new subroutines with a dense version of the code (Algorith
m 754, ACM TOMS) show that the speedup increases with the sparsity of
the data.
