Abstract

Local search is known to be a highly effective metaheuristic framework for solving a large number of classical combinatorial optimization problems, which strongly depends on the characteristics of neighborhood structure. In this paper, we integrate the neighborhood combination strategies into the hypervolume-based multi-objective local search algorithm, in order to solve the bi-criteria max-bisection problem. The experimental results indicate that certain combinations of neighborhood strategies are superior to others and the performance analysis sheds lights on the ways to further improvements.
