An Incorporation of the Fuzzy Greedy Search Heuristic With Evolutionary Approaches for Combinatorial Optimization in Operations Management

Sheibani, Kaveh - In: International Journal of Applied Evolutionary … 8 (2017) 2, pp. 58-72

Although greedy algorithms are important, nowadays it is well assumed that the solutions they obtain can be used as a starting point for more sophisticated methods. This paper describes an evolutionary approach which is based on genetic algorithms (GA). A constructive heuristic, so-called fuzzy...
