      A Tunable Generator of Instances of Permutation-Based Combinatorial Optimization Problems 

      Hernando Rodríguez, Leticia ORCID; Mendiburu Alberro, Alexander; Lozano Alonso, José Antonio (2016-04)
      [EN]In this paper, we propose a tunable generator of instances of permutation-based Combinatorial Optimization Problems. Our approach is based on a probabilistic model for permutations, called the Generalized Mallows model. ...

      An Evaluation of Methods for Estimating the Number of Local Optima in Combinatorial Optimization Problems 

      Hernando Rodríguez, Leticia ORCID; Mendiburu Alberro, Alexander; Lozano Alonso, José Antonio (MIT Press, 2013-11-01)
      [EN] The solution of many combinatorial optimization problems is carried out by metaheuristics, which generally make use of local search algorithms. These algorithms use some kind of neighborhood structure over the search ...

      Multi-Start Methods 

      Marti, Rafael; Lozano Alonso, José Antonio; Mendiburu Alberro, Alexander; Hernando Rodríguez, Leticia ORCID (Springer, 2018-08-27)
      [EN]Multi-start procedures were originally conceived as a way to exploit a local or neighborhood search procedure, by simply applying it from multiple random initial solutions. Modern multi-start methods usually incorporate ...
