Description
Summary:Memetic algorithms, which use local search techniques, are hybrid structured algorithms like genetic algorithms among evolutionary algorithms. In this study, for Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP), a memetic structured algorithm using a local search heuristic like 2-opt is developed. Developed in the algorithm, a crossover operator that has not been used before for QAP is applied whereas, Eshelman procedure is used in order to increase thesolution variability. The developed memetic algorithm is applied on test problems taken from QAP-LIB, the results are compared with the present techniques in the literature.
