Abstract (EN):
This paper introduces tabu search for the solution of general linear integer problems. Search is done on integer variables; if there are continuous variables, their corresponding value is determined through the solution of a linear program, which is also used to evaluate the integer solution.The complete tabu search procedure includes an intensification and diversification procedure, whose effects are analysed on a set of benchmark problems.© 2005 by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
