First, the proposed BMA algorithm is based on a new local optimization procedure (i.e., BLS) which adopts an adaptive perturbation mechanism to better memetic approach generates new solutions by applying crossover and/or mutation, followed by a phase of local search to improve each offspring solution. convergence, BMA triggers an adaptive mutation mechanism to the entire population if the best solution found during the search has not been improved during As most local search algorithms for QAP, BLS employs the swap operator Table 2: Comparative results between the proposed memetic algorithm (BMA), BLS (Benlic & Hao, 2013c), and three best performing QAP The performance of a memetic algorithm may be influenced by the characteristics of the search landscape like the average distance between local optima and ./cache/work_sgdejolmezfsfeseqbroy6peum.pdf ./txt/work_sgdejolmezfsfeseqbroy6peum.txt
