Abstract. This paper describes a hybrid approach to solving large-scale constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. It describes a hybrid algorithm for integer linear programming which combines local search and bounds propagation, inspired by the success of a randomized algorithm for Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) called Unit-Walk. A dynamic prioritization heuristic has been developed to improve the algorithm, inspired by another algorithm called Squeaky Wheel Optimization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
