OPTSOL70 swMATH ID: 3453 Software Authors: Almiñana, Marc; Pastor, Jesús T. Description: A comparison of algorithm RS with algorithm OPTSOL70 We recently proposed a new Lagrangian surrogate heuristic, called RS, for solving the location (or unicost) set covering problem [Eur. J. Oper. Res. 100, 586–593 (1997)]. Here, we show that RS is more accurate than the pair of greedy type heuristics FMC/CMA and that RS outperforms the surrogate heuristic SH. Here, we are going to compare RS with the best designed hybrid algorithm for the location set covering problem, known as OPTSOL70.
