Abstract

The quadratic assignment problem we can see as a facility location problem. Assume we have n facilities and n locations. We know the flows between each pair of facilities and the distances between each pair of locations. To each location we want to assign a facility such that the distance times the ow is minimized. The quadratic assignment problem is an NP-hard optimization problem. This means that there is no algorithm that can solve this problem in polynomial time. Heuristics are algorithms which try to find the optimal solution or a solution that is close to the optimal solution. There are a lot heuristics for the quadratic assignment problem and in my thesis I discuss a few of them. Further I compare a new heuristic of Zvi Drezner with another heuristic, tabu search.
